I recently stumbled across a great website with mainly cat and dog photos. This posting explains the phenomenon of 'plonking', a forerunner to the planking fad, and something cats and dogs have been perfecting for centuries. Here are some pictures of Chester demonstrating a fine technique.

32: Alternative transport
I went for a walk with a couple of friends (The Fudge Princess and the Mischievous Minx plus her dopey dog) around Lake Hayes. It was a beautiful winter's day with blue sky, white mountains and still waters.

What a difference a day makes, indeed! We were snowed in the next day. It was only a foot or so of snow, but impossible to drive on the roads without a 4WD or snow chains. We have since purchased the latter (we haven't got a spare $20,000 for the former).
I almost expect Mr Tumnus to make an appearance... |
And so I went skiing, as you do, around the streets of Arrowtown to stock up on essentials such as milk, bread and mulled wine. I skied up and down the hills...
---and 'hid' behind a tree.

30: Pictures from a plane
Here some images taken from the window of the plane on a flight between Queenstown and Wellington. The first set of mountains are the Inland and Seaward Kaikouras, separated by the Clarence River.
