On Wednesday I finally got around to renewing my warrant of fitness. It's such a relief when your sick old car somehow manages to pass again without requiring repairs. As part of the same little errand, I had my dead tyre replaced with a spark-plug-free one. I expected that the Beaurepairs guys would be well used to seeing tyres in all manner of sub-functional states, but a protruding spark plug was enough of a novelty that they felt compelled to take a photo of it.
Saw Out of the Blue last night. It's very bleak, obviously, and pretty harrowing in parts, but surprisingly understated. It's beautifully shot and the cast are all very good. You're all gonna go see it, and support the local film industry, right? Good Kiwis.
