Sometimes I m a bit torn about what to put in this column.
There are generally two directions things can go. Firstly, and the most tempting, is I can have a bit of a rant about something.
That is, if nothing else, cathartic. It might be picking at the Oscars like last week, and wasn t that a show? Though in retrospect I would tend to add another four-letter word beginning with “s” in front of “show”. Or I could be banging on about some local annoyance, though occasions for that have certainly decreased now the seven dwarfs, or however many councillors there were, have been temporarily retired.

Auckland Arts Festival champions ambitious ideas
The 2021 Auckland Arts Festival reaches Mahurangi this year with three shows at the Warkworth Town Hall.
Artistic director Shona McCullagh says the festival comprises a programme designed to unify, uplift and inspire through a “world-class all-Aotearoa curated collection of events that celebrate the timely theme of Aroha (love)”.
“Our festival vision champions change-making, the environment, ambitious ideas, powerful voices and inspirational experiences that open our eyes, our hearts and our minds,” she says.
Ms McCullagh says the festival, which runs from March 4 to 21, will include world premieres of several new works and revive some that had to be cancelled in 2020. It will involve more than 1000 artists at more than 70 events.
