The Weatherston Case

Just watched the documentary. This whole story just makes my flesh creep.

Clayton Weatherston appears still to not know what he has done. Dear god, what a heinous crime, this is up there with the worst NZ has seen. He simply has to have known he was killing her, yet he carried on. The Bain family, the Aramoana and Raurimu killing sprees- pretty sure those killers 'flipped' and never came back. Weatherston did and then proceeded to rape the memory of his victim by media at his trial. And still he seems not to accept his tremendous failings.

Its straight out of a Jeffrey Deaver novel.

The Otago Daily Times today ran perhaps the most effective story on this whole terrible saga that I have seen. A compelling narrative, please read this

Rest in peace Sophie Elliot. Apparently her economics thesis was outstanding- its getting published all over the place now. So sad she couldn't celebrate that.

Hotel Checks Out

I'd say somewhere, somehow, an engineer/ hotel builder is feeling a bit guilty....

At least the neighbours have thier waterfront view back.
Reportedly no one was was hurt, not every day a typhoon nails an entire hotel!

Another lazy weekend?

Certainly not!

Especially when one of the lads makes getting any sleep on Saturday night an optional extra. I'm sure it used to be easy to do an all nighter on the town and carry on the next day...oh well.

Anyway, another first for the lads on the weekend, they went for their first run with Dad. It was get another hot spell, I understand its the record warmest January on record if we even just have cool weather in the days remaining this month. The run was only an hour round Hagley Park, it wasn't the Kepler or anything silly. Their reaction varied from sleeping to giggling to outright hysterical laughter when watching Dad on the fitness circuit equipment. Little monkeys.

Speaking of monkeys- I see Andrew Symonds has been at it again, this time calling Brendon McCullum "a pile of shit". Now that should spice up the Chappell Hadlee Series!

Speaking of the Hadlee Chappell series, man how good would it be to head over there and watch. It brings back memories of 2004.

Tricky bit of parking...

According to One News it is going to take 3 days to extract it. I hope they can still see the TV for the cricket!

What Were The Odds?

A light plane flipped on the Wellington Airport runway yesterday, as pictured from Stuff.co.nz

Now the scarcely believable bit about this is that they claim a freak gust of wind caused it. In Wellington? No, surely not!

Actually the really cool thing is the passenger filmed the whole crash... it was on the news last night but I can't find a video link. No one badly hurt, by the way. Although the plane may need a panel beater
