Good evening citizens and welcome to a warm 'n' wet Monday night awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

More rain/flooding/devastation up North, with even more on the way,
loose talk of some roads taking years to reopen, if ever…..

We we're neck deep in a serious housing shortage before the cyclone blew through, with a three year waiting list for social housing…..

During the Covid-19 lockdowns, the government popped the homeless into commandeered motels and motor-camps for there own safety,
as the homeless returned to the street the same motels and motor-camps were used as emergency short term housing,
anecdotally some folks have been in these places for years…..

Good evening citizens and welcome to what turned out to be a gorgeous day awaaaaay on out in the valley…..
First thing the forecast was for doom with gloom in the afternoon…..
This was going to be bad for the crucial last day of a five day game being played at Wellington's Basin Reserve
between England and New Zealand…..
Now, I'm not a big cricket fan, however international test match cricket against the pommes, at the basin…..
As Snoop Dogg would say "I'm keeping my ear on that sh#t"…..
For the last week Wellingtonians have been a beeping and a tooting as they drive passed the basin as the game
has see sawed back and forth to and fro…..

This afternoon New Zealand beat England by one run…..

The silver lining for England; Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II is not alive to have to bare the shame
of this historic loss to a flock of uncouth antipodean upstarts…..

And now, after watching Frank and Moon on Letterman
it's time for a little…..

Good evening citizens and welcome to a warm Wednesday awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

Despite my best efforts I've caught a cold, been a sneezin' and a wheezin' for most of the day,
with mucus sporadically seeping from the unholy trinity of ears eyes 'n' nose.
Weirdly, I feel absolutely fine so it must be terminal…..

Until then…..

Good morning citizens and welcome to a humid Saturday morning awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

Up with the birds for a pleasant stroll along the mighty Hutt River/Te Awa Kairangi.
Locally autumn is upon us, quite a few different flocks of birds hanging about, with trout jumping in the secret pool
and best of all, not another soul in sight…..

Good morning earthlings and welcome to a cool 'n' cloudy Sunday morning awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

Performed the secret knock on the back door of the bakery at 5:30am,
scored a large steaming deformed fruit loaf then, after a complementary thimble full of dangerously good espresso,
was convinced into buying half a pound of freshly ground coffee beans from somewhere exotic…..

Now nestled into the warm corner of the maroon sofa armed with hot coffee
and thickly buttered bread, we're ready to go…..

Good evening citizens and welcome to a blustery Wednesday night awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

An horrendous day of attempting to assist the unassistable,
whilst questioning the choices of a life time that have delivered
me to this time and place…..

Made it to the maroon sofa a little later than I would have liked…..
Tonight's nasi goreng was spectacular and sooooo hot it may have
burned out the flu remnants that have been a blight on our
in cave serenity…..

Let's give little Ronnie random a shove and see what happens…..

Good evening citizens and welcome to what has been a cruisy Thursday awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

A little late to the sofa this evening, spent a couple of hours playing around on Joe 90's new playstation virtual reality game.

A bit of driving a bit of shooting, it was sooooo good, the damn thing made my credit card scream…..

Definitely a big step up from the vr systems of old…..

Let's get down to business…..

Good evening citizens and welcome to a glorious Friday night awaaaaay on out in the valley…..

I'm sooooo glad it's Friday, the week was long 'n' tough…..

We've had a request to call in on the hippies up the coast tomorrow, this never happens…..
To spare the little woman any anxiety I've withheld the summons, and subtly suggested a mini road trip…..
Visit the beach, first swim of autumn, check out the orchard, drop in on the hippies…..I can hardly wait…..

Until then, our weekend starts now…..

It appears one of three things happened here to Gray Ghosts listening schedule...:puzzled:


1) Him and the Little Lady never returned from the coastal Hippie adventure possibly absorbed into the community...:shocked:





2) His ineffective third world kerosene record player ran out of spunk due to the supply chain shortages...:shocked:





3) He had so much fun he pulled a Rip Van Winkel on the coach...:shocked:





BTW - That was as close as I could get to a maroon sofa and trust me I looked....

There is some good reason for the good grey ghost to return here from his coastal Hippie adventure: Genevieve Artadi has finally released her new album and put it onto youtube: Forever Forever
The sickest song is visualized in a quite unique video: Genevieve Artadi - 'Plate' (Official Video)
