Anzac Day 25 April 2008

Anzac Day - it seems like a Sunday, which in many ways I suppose it is. Have just finished watching the documentary on Maori TV about John Pohe, the first Maori pilot in the RAF. Shot down he was part of the Great Escape and was murdered by the Germans.

I was alerted to the film by a Maori friend who had attended the World Premiere as he was a relation. Where was the World Premiere held - Taihape!! - because John came from that area.

It is said that those who were not shot were the blue eyed look that Hitler liked, so John Pohe had no show. Proves how weird Hitler was as he was not the Nordic type in looks himself.

Haven't added to the Blog recently as nothing different to the usual although plenty on as I am trying to rewrite the Email & Internet Course for SeniorNet which is proving more time consuming than I thought.

We are to Kipp overnight this Saturday - or should that say we are to look after Kipp overnight this Saturday.
