Beautiful summer

Well, so much for regular blogging. It's 23-Jul, a full 5 months since the last posting. I'd say we'll try to do better, but there's just no guarantee of that, apparently.

Today was a beautiful day in Dunedin: sunny and 60-65F all day. We made the most of it:
- Walked to Holyrood Park
- Hiked up the Salisbury Crags
- Tea at Pizza Express
- Shopping (Taran and Lynn) and Princes Gardens & Trainspotting (Adam and Kenna)

We'll post some photos, or a link to photos soon.

Here's a good quote from "The Secret Garden," relevant both for my recent thinking about sustainable entrepreneurship and hiking up the Crags:

"'When I was at school my jography told as th' world was shaped like a orange an' I found out before I was ten that th' whole orange doesn't belong to nobody. No one owns more than his bit of a quarter an' there's times it seems like there' not enow quarters to go round. But don't you - none o' you - think as you on th' whole orange or you'll find out you're mistaken, an' you won't find it out without hard knocks... What children learns from children is that there's no sense in grabbin' at th' whole orange - peel an' all. If you do, you'll likely not get even th' pips, an' them's too bitter to eat." - Susan Sowerby
