There is seriously something wrong with the ISP here. This compose page is taking, again, hours to come up, and Vox claims nothing is wrong on its end.
   Again, when a compose screen takes hours to emerge, then the inspiration has long passed. For what it’s worth, enjoy these shots of Christchurch from last week.

Heck of a view from the Millennium Hotel, right? It was so good I wrote to the CEO in London about it.

As there are no army bases near where I live, it was odd seeing a military police car—a Hyundai Sonata, no less!

At the risk of this becoming the unofficial Laural Barrett website and blog, my colleague Kip Brook in Christchurch sent the above photograph to me and gave me his permission to republish. I am not sure of the event, but we can safely say Ford and Adidas are involved. Red is the colour of the local rugby team, the Crusaders. Focus, Jack, Focus. I’m waiting for Kip to get back to me about what Fiesta this was, and whom Escorted Laural there. It looks like a Popular event and one worth Escaping to.

PS.: From Kip:

The Crusaders presented Laural a jersey signed by Dan, [R]ichie and the boys to go to a big [charity] auction at the Miss Uni pageant in Mexico next month. The guy in the photo is Crusaders marketing manager Tim Blake and the other woman is Crusaders promotions manager Brooke Freeman.
