Black & White & all that jazz..









********It was all black & white at Hamilton Zoo these llamas had been lying down on the nice clean straw and the white one was still spruce while his stablemate looked like he needed a good hoover. The chimpanzees were black but moulting (geen intae aussigar!) The zoo keeper summed it up when we all stood watching them slouching about on their bums "Just like watching big brother basically".

In case you are wondering if we saw a black & white panda the answer is no! The panda was red all over. Google 'red panda' if you want - they are gorgeous. Finally I went in wearing a Westray Rugby Top but thanks to a falling white fern I left sporting an All Blacks strip. Bargain!

Tonight the Hamilton Jazz society celebrated 25 years of great jazz and held a black & white theme party. We have been going along each month - you get a great meal and the dance floor is so huge you only need to accomplish a reverse turn every second verse. Easy as.

When we arrived at the Jazz Club they had a poster of all the Jazz greats Jelly Roll Morton, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, Billie Holliday and Belly Roll Cowan sitting at a table - how did that happen?? Have a look..
