Began rehearsing this puppy last night. After a month's summer recess pleased to say my ageing voice held up quite well. #choralmusic#classicalmusic#Bach

Can't afford to collect the original engravings, but can collect the next best thing: books with illustrations. Robert Gibbings and Gwen Raverat were founder members of the Society of Wood Engravers, still going strong today (after a few years of doldrums in the 1970s).

Copies of: 'John Graham Convict' written and illustrated by Robert Gibbings, and 'A Sentimental Journey' by Laurence Sterne, illustrated by Gwen Raverat - in the short-lived Penguin Illustrated Classics edition published 1938.

An ordinary civic library maybe but Dunedin Public Library completes a large digitisation project on its mediaeval manuscripts. Donated by publisher AH Reed, a household name in early to mid 20C. odt.shorthandstories.com/medieval-man...

Three pages of mediaeval manuscripts, two outermost leaves highly decorated and central leaf text.

single line from a poem that sticks in your head (er from 1966ish) "Dark grow the spruce-trees, blue is the balsam, water sounds still unfrozen"

The nice thing about Christmas in NZ -- it goes on forever, as another book turns up that I had ordered for myself. "A small mound of white feathers lies on a tussock grass made grey by a Highland winter. It is all the monument there will ever be to the life of a swan." Pics & words perfectly match

Front Cover of 'The Company of Swans' novella by Jim Crumley, with engravings by Harry Brockway. Mute swan featured.
Engraving mute swan, standing shaking its wings. Opposite page 14.

Wild bunny enjoying Dunedin's drizzly evening. Slightly out of focus because of low-light levels. Where's the summer sun gone? We have had a single day of sunshine this year. Grumble, grumble, grumble - it's like winter (version II with day-length).
