The book is at the proofreading and 'mucking about with typesetting' stage. I've spent at least 4 hours (so far) playing with the kerning, trying to get the text into a form that is typographically respectable. It's hard work, but I really enjoy it. There's just a long two weeks ahead before it is sent to the printer...
Here are some photos from our recent (and too-short) trip away to Weber (in the Tararua district, about 30km east from Dannevirke):

The house we rented for a few nights (it was even more gorgeous inside)
The early morning view from the verandah
A visit to Herbertville beach (this photo doesn't capture its beauty; the sun was making the water a perfect aqua, and the sand was the colour of caramel)
The longest place name in New Zealand... and the WORLD!
Pretending to be part of the fountain at Dannevirke
It wasn't quite a tropical island (like where my mother and brother are this week), but we had a good time, despite the terrible cold I was recovering from. We read books, and listened to surprisingly good local radio stations. I taught Jeremy how to light a fire. And we ate delicious cheese.
