As for Until the end of the world, I tried to like it, but the world ended first.
I agree, but oh, what a glorious soundtrack.

Thanks, Jackson. There is something very divine about French piano music. Debussy, Faure, Satie -- aaaah.

I'm not sure if this wondrous piece from Diva is Satie, or faux-Satie, but it's gorgeous all the same

I was also surprised that the Herald gave so little coverage to the Maui gas pipeline rupture and its cascading impacts on businesses, infrastructure, food production, distribution and storage and so on. Having to dump 11 million litres of milk is not insignificant.
The DomPost covered it quite well. -

Me too, Kate. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase series was a big part of my childhood. There's so much pleasure in discovering not just one book but an entire series by a wonderful author, isn't there? I''m pleased that my little lad, who has a distinct taste for the historical and the quirky, has taken to them. The illustrations by Pat Marriott are genius too. And the glorious names! Miss Slighcarp! Aunt Tribulation!
I think only Phillip Pullman has come close to her in originality and style and general wondrousness.
