I’ve enjoyed visiting here. I’ve done stuff off your video lecture at countless shows, thank you very much. I was touched to read ‘Four Years ago today’ We had a close friend die of Luekemia, also four years ago. Her kids are the same age as ours. RObyn, my wife was her support person through her illness, chemo, and all that. We attended her ‘tangi’ on the East Coast of New Zealand near Gisborne and it was a sad, funny and close time for our family. Maori tangi are of usually three days duration and gives time to saying goodbye. We could all learn from this experience. I have a video of Stuff the White Rabbit which I also enjoy watching. Good ‘get on with the job magic’ as Ken Brooke used to tell me!
*Tangi: maori funeral
