With the car at Tony the Tyre man's in Kent Terrace I am having coffee and pain-au-chocolat at Memphis, getting texts from Norma in Waiheke telling me her friend Ray has just died, from complications from cosmetic surgery it seems.
I know Ray, he was a 'pretty boy' and he would never have wanted to make old bones, but at 62 he still had a few years in him, so it was a shock. He was one of retired millionnaire James Fairfax's toy-boys, travelling around the world willy nilly and being good company for a very rich old Queen. Well that's the end of that.

She says Australia could become the next Greece having $955 billion in foreign debt. I just don't understand world finances, as Australia is such a wealthy country but is it going in the wrong direction resources-wise?
