Indirectly Famous
I have been neglecting my building of the week section, as it is a bit too much like work. Yes I do work! Besides, now that I am indirectly famous, see below, I feel my work here is done. (The extract below is taken from a comment on my post called "A curious type of engagement).
"Cathal,
I meant to send this to you earlier but just after you wrote about the waikato river etc, there was an article in the local paper (Waikato Times) written by a Dutch architect, Marco Hommel making the same point as yourself. Since then the "debate has been raging" in true Waikato style"

OK, you could argue that for an Architect this stuff is bread and butter to us so too speak. Nevertheless there is always that element of self doubt that creeps in and it is nice to get a little vindication now and again.
Anyway I have to go pack for the holidays.
Sean thanks for letting me know about the article about Hamilton in stuff magazine.
tangelled angel, I finished the book The Time Traveler's Wife and yes the ending is very good, especially when the cold got to him etc.! I have to say though that I still enjoyed The Bone People a good bit more. It's quite sad in places and in my opinion a difficult read but worth the effort. The difference for me between the two books is the simple fact that I couldn't put down The Bone People, and I just couldn't say the same about the other book. Maybe you should give it a try?
To all Sharon's knitting buddies out there, and indeed our friends, thanks for all your comments. This posting thing is a lot of hard work! It's great to know people are actually reading it and from the feed back we have got enjoying it also.
