Billy Connolly in Rotorua

Popped over to see Billy with some friends this weekend. What a scream, we had a great time, always wanted to see him "live" -  we weren't disappointed.

He got to telling about how he likes the way ordinary people speak, mentioned he got lost last year in Liverpool, which brought a big cheer from us - he looked over and pointed - then carried on describing his mishaps in the roadworks and one-way system in the city centre. We could tell where he was talking about which made for a weird feeling being the other end of the earth.

So a good night was had by the 6 of us, totally worn out and glad I didn't have to drive this weekend as I was asleep as soon as the car got going!  Compared to the previous weekend in Auckland it was easy, on that occasion I had to keep stopping off and having power naps as they call them, very tiring day and I not good of a night anyway.
