Franci and the Pajamas are in New Zealand



My friend Franci is enjoying a December/January journey through New Zealand and Australia. Recently, she emailed me these photos.

Here's Franci's note:

Well here we are - the famous blue flannelette pajamas & I - in Cathedral Square in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is our last full day in NZ - now or never?

The night before, I represented World Poets at the open mic at the Irishman's Pub. When I told people there of this pajama plan, they approved wholeheartedly, saying I should also read poetry aloud at the same time.

Partner Joe was less enthusiastic. I tried to take the photo myself, then Joe was sympathetic & took the 2nd one here. You see the famous chalice (blue & silver) & Christchurch Cathedral in the background. I also include a photo of the base of the chalice, hope we can see the artist's name...

Shall choose the Australian location carefully, I have a cohort in Alicia, I'm sure... It will NOT be at the top of the Harbour Bridge - I have mild acrophobia & it costs $200!

All for now...Franci Louann

PS a hotel room in NZ was cool & the PJs were great for lounging...
PPS I became a connoisseur (2 s's?) of NZ Sauvignon Blanc!!!
PPPS I blind-copy my downunder update list, who may be bewildered...
M, I've just added L to the list, so he didn't get the other photos...

pajama thought - the mysteries of flannel are always understood, if rarely pondered
