So here we are again, Monday evening, New Zealand time, and that point in the week where we think about the small pleasures of the week before.
1 Rhubarb
Saturday dessert…apple and rhubarb crumble….such a perfect combination.
2 Tomatoes
I usually don’t buy tomatoes in the winter, but couldn’t resist these beauties which were on offer.
3 Charlie…gazing out at the world outside
New Zealand International Film Festival
Yes, the 2018 film festival has started. On Friday we went to see Den skyldige (The Guilty), a Danish film that had me sitting on the edge of my seat) and on Sunday, a Swedish film Gräns (Border), a supernatural thriller. I’ve put the links in to the festival programme where you can read more about these films.


Thanks to Mani over at A New Life Wandering for the original idea.
