No market for this sort of thing in New Zealand - shows you how despised possums are there, since rats, mice and rabbits are well-represented in toyshops.

How bored I am!

My flight has been delayed a further half hour. I realise this is nothing like Heathrow in the snow, or Schipol after the volcano, but it's pretty tedious. What I'm really missing now is natural light. The nearest I can get is the tinted glass in the public areas, where all the seats are taken. The Qantas lounge, while comfortable, is entirely windowless.

Having stood so recently, though, in Anne Frank's house, where she and her family lived quiet and dim for more than two years, the last thing I'm doing here is complaining. Honest.
