Rhett our dog and the flag



Rhett in all his glory. Taken by a friend who has added a lovely border.

Waitangi Day tomorrow and I see that the Auckland City Council have agreed to fly the "Maori" flag. For what it is worth I favour a change to our present flag which I feel is "colonial cringe". However, I favour a black flag with a silver fern but if the Tino Rangatiratanga flag was adopted it wouldn't worry me. I just want to have a flag that represents us, not something from colonial times.

Rugby - underway again and the Hurricanes have had a poor start in a terrible game. But great to see the Samoans win at the 7's.
