A review of a bridge...yes, seriously.

As you well know, we here at Dinosaurs and Dandelions are the undisputed leaders in bridge related news in the North Massey-Westgate area. So when the "Westgate Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge" was officially opened last week by the NZTA and Auckland Transport, we were all over it - well maybe not all over it, but we certainly walked across it.
The bridge is yellow.

The Music Box [Lykke Li]

In this edition of The Music Box, we're heading to Sweden for some catchy, indie-pop goodness that’s sure to get your feet a shufflin’ - so if you feel you got to dance, don’t be shy, there’s plenty of room up front! This’ll also be the first of a three part special featuring ladies singing live in the great outdoors. I call it: Ladies Outside Live, or LOL for short.

First up singing outside somewhere, is the delightful Lykke Li, [backed by the boys from Bon Iver] performing her song, Dance. Dance. Dance.





Now that I have pants on, we may begin.

Good morning.*

And welcome back, we have missed you.

You may have surmised from the activity around the place that this blog is in danger of becoming fully active again. And you would be correct. Much like White Island, we are ready to begin spewing forth a load of hot air again. However, unlike White Island, GNS Science doesn’t seem interested in monitoring us – more the pity, they might have learnt something.

Important notice, Re: version 2.0.

I know most of you are probably more familiar with web pages where the guys take their pants off, but Matthew is trying something new so bear with him.

Be sure to check back again soon, as actual content may follow!

Oh, why hello - version 2.0

Oh, why hello! I didn't see you there.
I hope you haven’t been waiting long.
Gosh, this is embarrassing.
Allow me to go put some pants on, I'll be right back...

So bad, it's ridiculous!

Prepare for Wars
Watch out for Mayans,
It's Dinosaurs
and Dandelions!

It doesn't matter if you're rose or violet

Roses are black
Violets are white
The old rhyme got boring
So I repainted them last night...
