I can’t be arsed with much luggage
T shirts, shorts, undercrackers a book,
iPad and phone
Family reunion here I come, up at 2 am for airport
If this one is cancelled I’m off to Sheffield
Fact
A Māori performance is called a Rotorua
The performers flutter their hands quickly, a movement called wiri, which can symbolise shimmering waters, heat waves or even a breeze moving the leaves of a tree.
Enjoy! Don't forget your charger!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteHave a nap on the plane. Enjoy your weekend! x
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time x
ReplyDeleteGoogle knows naff all about Maori dance. Rotorua is a place in NZ where Maori performers (not exclusively by any means) perform Kapa Haka. Kapa to form a line Haka to dance. Wiri is as you describe.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fabulous time in Sitges...you are certainly packing light.. but I expect the mountains of lost luggage is the reason for that!

ReplyDeleteTwo more points about Māori. The little line above the ā is called a Macron (like our president here), and the word Māori itself means 'of the normal type'. Enjoy your holls.

ReplyDeleteFabulous.. he's on his way! yay

Have a fab time
ReplyDeleteI hope this morning that no news is good news and that you are there stripped off (well almost) in the sun - enjoy your brief visit. x
ReplyDeleteAs Jo says, Rotorua doesn't mean a Maori performance. It's a town in the North Island of New Zealand, famous for its hot bubbling mud pools. I've been there and I've seen the mud pools!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick rinse through of your smalls should suffice John x
