We reassembled our couch. We hung our pictures on the walls. We started our new jobs. We filled a wool sack with weeds from the front garden. We planted hydrangeas. We made an edging from paua shells. We screwed towel hangers into the bathroom walls. We walked down Back Beach Road and saw a seal. We got unpasteurised milk from a nearby farm. We bought bay leaves from the kids next door. We went to a fashion show. We went to a street party. We went to the pub. I hauled them into the spare room. So it's gr...

Ginger Snort Review - Kathryn van Beek
http://www.kathrynvanbeek.co.nz/blog/ginger-snort-review
The glamorous life of the reviewer. I signed up to review this show before I got the cold - and before I realised just how full-on the work week was going to shape up to be. By the time Friday evening rolled around I was so tired I was afraid I was going to fall off the bar stool at Q theatre. So I had two coffees. Even as I was drinking them I knew it was a bad idea.
