Sunset over Tāmaki Makaurau from Devonport. Most amazing light and clouds. Never seen anything quite like it. #TāmakiMakaurau #Auckland #sunset

Auckland city at sunset from Devonport. High fluffy clouds with sun on them, grey fluffy clouds behind the city. Very dramatic light.

I came across this Ogden Nash poem today… seems apt. 😬

Ogden Nash poem Everybody tells me everything

I find it very difficult to enthuse
Over the current news.
Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens,
And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.
