I started morning exercise again this week - after round 2 of Covid in October which knocked me on my ass. Watching the sun come up over Rangitoto while walking briskly along Takapuna Beach is possibly the best way to start the day I've found, so far.
Reminded this week of the beauty of intergenerational friendships. I am in my early 30s and have a few female friends in their early 60s, made through work and still friends in some cases almost 15 years later! We talk about all sorts of stuff - sex, drugs, money - and have so many laughs. It's so cool to have access to that kind of wisdom but also a connection where age feels almost totally irrelevant.
Did you read the Joy Cowley interview in Sunday mag this past weekend Britt? It's full of so many great quotes. "The calamities in our life are actually seasons of growth ... the end of that process is wisdom ..." etc. One very wise woman!
Maybe the solar panel is the power supply for a pest monitoring device or trap, weather station, ground water monitor....or massive 5G networking station linked directly to the Pentagon. Who knows 😂. I’m intrigued tho!
I seem to have heard a fair bit about Ernie Bell on RnZ National in the past week, she was on Music/Culture 101 I think, so look that up if you didn’t catch it at the time.

Love this Matt. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I don't have to go through round two myself...

The solar panel was probably powering a weather monitoring station.

Best guess yet! (Pest control not the Pentagon!)
Hi Chris,

Erny Belle. Sorry for the name spelling, I was rushing, and once you start a comment on your mobile device you can’t see the original article :-)
I found this excellent five-song live show! Thanks Steve! https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/nzlive/audio/2018912913/nz-live-erny-belle
Sweet!
I am doing the same for a nearly 10-year-old today. A real privilege. Enjoy :)
