I cannot honestly pick an evening that I last stayed up to see the sunrise - although I do have a vacant memory of waking up at Lisa's new whare very whiskeyed out and making my way to my own whare, sometime in 2009, and shadely watching the sun rise before literally passing out.....

Oooowah, and and there was the New Years in amongst the hills of Paakaraka when Amanda Jones (Nee Orme) and I leapt and laughed around the firepit until the sun rose - everyone else slept...

We witnessed the rooster and his girly girls waltzing up the driveway with such grace, and proceeded to do a voice-over in regards to their conversations of which we believed a rooster and his girly girls would conduct at such an early hour.... Grand laughter for sure!

Italian Phrase of the Day: "Adore voi" - I adore you..
