How's the weather?

"Weather with you" Crowded House (World Where We Live 1993)
Walking 'round the room singing "Stormy Weather"
 At 57 Mt. Pleasant Street
 Well, it's the same room, but everything's different
 You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cooking in my kitchen
 Strange affliction wash over me
 Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
 Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Well, there's a small boat made of china
 It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
 Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
 Or do I sing like a bird released
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather
 The weather with you
Everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
 Always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
 Always take the weather
 Everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
 Always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather
 Take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
 Everywhere you go, always take the weather
 Take the weather, the weather with you

The Dark Knight Rises back to the big screen

According to reports, the third in Christopher Nolan's Batman series is set to the movie theaters in July 2012.

Following on from Dark Knight in 2008, the new movie will be titled Dark Knight Rises and will see some old foes of Batman look to cause mayhem.

Dark Knight Rises will see Catwoman and Bain, plus likely to see the Scarecrow who has appeared in all the movies so far.

I've been impressed with the series so far, both for the quality of storyline and the graphics. I'm sure Dark Knight Rises won't disappoint.

Flying Kiwis

In cycling news, New Zealander  Simon Van Velthooven won the gold medal in the keirin event at the world track cycling championships held in Beijing.

With cycling booming in New Zealand recently, the government announced it is to set up a high performance centre to boost Kiwi riders. The center will accommodate all disciplines - road, track, BMX and mountain bike - but track will be the main focus, with a world-class velodrome to be built.

What with the New Zealand Cycleway  project gaining steam, the country is sure to become a cycling mecca in the not-too-distant future.

How about flying with the kiwis?
