Wellington Blown Away sign

 Hi there

On a Miramar hill, overlooking the airport runway, across the inner harbour, and opposite Haitaitai Beach is our huge "Wellington" sign (a direct steal from the 'Hollywood' sign).  A little while back, it was painted in pastel colours.  There was a conspiracy theory that some guy had clambered up the sign in the middle of the night and painted it.  When one thinks of what would have to be involved to complete this type of operation, well ... it just couldnt be done, right?  Right??

This week the official construction people with cranes and loads of workers, got the sign back to its original silver-type colour and where the 'O' used to be, there is now a soccer ball (oh, whoops, isn't the sport called 'football nowadays?).  I think it's to commemorate the (women's?) world cup???  As you can see, I'm so fantastic with my knowledge of sports occasions.*



*As you can see, I'm also rather fantastic with a camera.  Um, where's the soccer ball?
