Cook book launch
The lovely folk at Welly restaurant Dragonfly - temporarily closed because of that dastardly quake - are launching their new cookbook tonight.
I've done a story on them and the cookbook for a national magazine which should be out next week but in the meantime am excited to go along tonight to celebrate with them (and sample some of their delicious food).

A good day
A day bookended with dogs, and studded with friends and courier pacels, couldn't fail to be positive.
This morning there was a walk along Ori Parade and coffee with my friend Julia and her two woofers, while tonight it was back to the usual Monday SPCA puppy walking.
My puppy was this adorable three-month old mixed breed - the first time she had ever been walked. There was much biting of her lead, walking backwards and refusing to go. I also had to carry her for large sections of the walk, given that the unfamiliar asphalt was tough on her tender wee paws. But oh my, she was a doll (apologies for the rubbish pics, it's hard to snap a puppy who won't sit still).
Today there was also this delivery of three new review books for North & South Magazine which I am looking forward to reading.
All of which qualifies as a good day in Shazzyland.

Home
Thirty something hours ago, I was being driven through rush-hour traffic in Rome (when is it not rush-hour there?) by a mad-man who drove as though someone had spilled a pint of acid in his lap.
A tangle of flights, airline lounges (grazie mille, Emirates!) and more calories than I would eat in a week later, and I arrived in Wellington to a gloriously sunny day.
It was so good to see my two boys and (middle age alert) my gorgeous white roses which were tiny buds when I left two weeks ago.
As much as I adore Italy, it is lovely to be home.
