I promised Kakariki that I’d do an announcement when her baby was born, so here it is. Just got a text saying a happy healthy baby girl was born at 4:59am this morning. Wicked! Huge congrats to the parents 
In other news, Waitangi Day has come and gone, so in the spirit of that, here’s a movie well worth watching. Tuhoe – A history of resistance. Click here if you can’t see the embedded video.
Congrats Kakariki! Huge grins and hugs!
Other news on the baby, care of insultadarity She is a massive 11 pounds, Woah! what a beauty pepi!
i can just imagine,
I once was a guest of Tuhoe for 4 days as part of a quasi-governmental group, and found that by politely //asking// to be able to walk their lands, they were the most gracious hosts. This was a few years ago. Apparently we were the first, ever, to bother //asking//. As a result we received an official welcome, a warm welcome, and everyone was happy. Result: we still did what we came to do (which we could have done without asking under current law), we showed them some respect, and in return they were happy and hospitable people.
Amazing eh? Fancy that.
Thanks Uncle Asher!
BTW, it’s 8 pound 11, not 11 pound..
