I’m looking forward to a trip to Napier soon to see the new Shockwave exhibition at MTG Hawkes Bay. I’d a great time writing and directing the film for the earthquake house, working with Gibson International. Terrific team & a fun project.

Went for a walk in the Ruahine Ranges, gathered some horopito leaves to dry and use in place of black pepper.

Stopped to admire the sunset and say hello to my favourite Highland cattle on the way home.

An extremely cold and still day at Waitārere Beach. Mt Ruapehu covered in snow in the distance. To the East, the Tararua Ranges with a dusting.

Got hooked on this new Swedish psychological crime thriller last week and binge-watched the final 3 episodes yesterday. Well written, awesome cast, had my heart racing.
