1.

A Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all…I’ve attached a short story for bit of light Christmas reading. It’s about a couple of Massey Students. Christmas brings expectations, you know Father Christmas for the young ones and the not so young I might add, Christmas dinner, family and so on. But sometimes expectations and reality clash and compromises are required. The title ‘Don’t Push Me’ is a play on words.

If you would rather listen, the story is read by Janice Feyen on AccessManawatu Radio [AM 999] on the 23rd and the 30th of December 2010. You can also hear or read it via the web site: www.accessmanawatu.co.nz the song on which the story is loosely based is performed and written by Paul Walker. So why not make a coffee and take in the story and the music.



2.

Speaking of music and good coffee reminds me of the London Café in George Street .

Peter Cleave and the Pony Band made up of Peter Cleave, Steve Christian, Steve Calvert and Nicola Hay, have brought a bit of sheer class to George Street over the past weekends. Sunday brunch at the London Café was really lifted to a new level, because not only was the food and coffee top notch but the entertainment was also of a very high quality. There is nothing like live entertainment to lift the spirits on a wet weekend. The bands brand of music led to toe tapping while consuming a bacon sandwich and a flat white. And on a Sunday morning at 11.20am that’s no mean feat. The London Café is well worth a visit.

Song List

Rave on

I fought the law and the law won

Walking the dog

Me and Bobby Magee

Honky Tonk Woman

You can’t always get what you want

To love somebody

Stand by me

Nowhere man

Nadine

Sweet little rock and roller

Fields of France

O Johnny I hardly knew you

Kansas City

One more cup of coffee for the road

Love minus zero

Atlantic City

You better move on

Bright lights, big city

Memphis

I thought I’d go crazy but I went shopping instead

I went down to the crossroads

Hey Joe

Brown eyed girl

Here comes the rain again

The green, green grass of home

To see you is to love you

Carol

Tomorrow is a long time

O sister

With God on our side

Nobody’s child

I shall be released

The fields of France

Chains

And it stoned me

Switching Boxes
Having come this far we can now look around the room. Some variations on the basics might be made.
Make sure that the Noun Box is not too far from the Verb Box
as,
you can take a noun like whare
and make it a verb
by introducing it with a verbal particle like
kua.
Kua whare.
Its become a house.

He raakau noa iho i mua
It was just timber before
engari
but
kua whare inaianei.
but now its a house.

Another way to look at this is to say that it matters where you put the verbal particles. They are like transformers, they can make verbs of the words that follow them.
