  • Hot enough for ya? WellUr­ban has some excel­lent tips on keep­ing cool.…
  • So there’s been a ‘tip-off’ that some­one might want to steal the Hen­ry Moore sculp­ture in the Botan­ic Gar­dens. That would be the 1.6 ton, 5m high scu­pl­ture that’s sit­u­at­ed down a long slop­ing grassy hill­side, in full view of hun­dreds of Thorn­don and Kel­burn house­holds, and the Met­Ser­vice build­ing (in which fore­cast­ers are on duty 24/7). One sus­pects the ‘tip-off’ might have come from some­one who had drunk one too many Tuis in the sun. Sir Humphrey’s have a dis­cus­sion on what would be the poten­tial art-heist of the cen­tu­ry, and the sto­ry has been picked up by the Inter­na­tion­al press.
