Spring afternoon

Today I've been:

 Enjoying my washing drying in the sun, especially this little barkcloth napkin that is going to become a pouch.

 Rescuing a lovely purple flower that had been discarded at the train station.

 Wishing my camera hadn't developed a weird dark spot in most photos.  I've tried cleaning the lens, to no avail - I think some of the covering is coming off the inside.

 

Admiring the murals that are springing up on the walls around So Ho(le) square.  

And drawing portraits of explorers and walking for an hour and a half to get coffee and making plans to go to Waihi and hire a tandem bicycle...
