I'm interested; what is the sound like?

I disposed of the 4.2L V8 and purchased a Prius which has averaged sixty three miles to the gallon over it's 4,800 km life. I think the trees and the fish would approve of this change.

Moheji river is another favourite walking spot. It is a salmon river where fish are released from hatcheries every year. It is awesome to watch the salmon come up the river. Salmon eagles (apologies...

Hello So_Fa! We are closer neighbours now :)

I'm doing a lot of DIY projects around the house and find it difficult to listen to opera. Either I get too involved with the opera and find myself just standing there listening with no progress or I...

I have not heard this one yet. It is on the "to find" list on my weekly charity shop visits.

I count nine productions I would want to go see.

Nice. I want to see Bluebeard's castle.
