He sure loved 'imself!

We went into the city at twilight last night, to go and visit the Christmas Tree and see all the lights. It was our first trip to the Wynyard Quarter, all created in time for the Rugby World Cup. What a sensational space!

We wandered down to the playground to see what was down there, and that was where I saw this specimen strutting his self playing some B-ball with a pal.

I took lots of photos of the tree, the city scape, the skyline, the call boxes with children calling Santa...but I love how everything is out of focus in this shot, except our mate.

As we lay on bean bags under the Christmas tree, with many other visitors to the tree, we had live music, from J Williams, a local musician. It was marvellous, chilled, and had everyone singing along. Such a fabulous evening, and it finally feels like the warmer evenings that we're supposed to have at this time of year.
