AOTNZ tour Roxburgh

Stayed a while at the Warbirds Museum....very moving. Evocative of a time of
gallantry and chivalry even amongst enemies. Not sure the same mutual respect
and gentility would apply today. Short hop to Roxburgh. Pretty cold but warm
reception from the good citizens at the Town Hall - excellent venue with
dressing rooms and everything. 'Let's Have Friends Around for Dinner' shaping up
- also my new song 'Any Time at All' (I think sufficient time has lapsed since
the release of 'Hard Day's Night' for me to get away with the title) which seems
to suit James' low 'D' whistle adequately. Am enjoying Christopher Hitchens'
memoir 'Hitch-22', which I bought when faced with the seven hour bus trip
crisis. Terry still ploughing through the Denniston Rose. We'll swap shortly.
Another short hop to Gore - only an hour or so we think. There is talk of oysters.
