Wolfman of Merivale

The Merivale Wolf hanging around the bins

Here's a photograph the big guy took while biking to work through Merivale this morning. Clearly even before the quake Christchurch was always more than a little feral, but this is something else again.

Towards a newer Centauromachy

"Next Halloween I'd like to be a centaur. All I will need is the back end of a horse to attach to myself. Or maybe I could get a two-person centaur costume. I would be at the front end, because I'm better with people than Hamish is. Plus, if you were at the back end of the costume, there would be fart danger. If I was at the front then it would be me doing the farting."
