DUNEDIN...
Serra and I are in Dunedin for a few days for her graduation. Haven't been here for a good few years. It's rainy but always quite a homely place.
Robbie Burns and some bum yesterday...
In most town squares you're likely to find a statue of some arsehole politician, but in Dunedin, settled by the Scottish diaspora, you'll find a statue of a poet who wrote lots of stuff about the joys of getting plastered with your mates.
I think that's cool.
In other news, I'm hanging around Otago University at the moment waiting for Serra to get her gown fitted and catch up with a few old colleagues. Wandering up a random corridor in search of a bathroom, I stumbled across a door that was marked "SPINAL CORD LABORATORY: AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY".
Somewhat alarmingly, it was behind one of the cafes.
Fuck getting one of their pies...
