Blue

The colour of the week is... BLUE. Not blue as in "I'm feeling blue" but blue as in "Yay National won." It's taken 9 years of Labour Government but I'm hoping it was worth the wait. John Key is the new Prime Minister and he is going to govern with the help of his friends, ACT and United Future (aka Peter Dunne). Helen Clarke has gone bye-bye along with Michael Cullen, and Winston Peters has disappeared into the political ether. Change has finally arrived. I stole the awesome picture below from James Christmas.

I told Mum that she should make cupcakes for morning tea with the correct proportions of blue and red cupcakes. Apparently that would not be appropriate. It probably also wouldn't be appropriate for her to paint her office blue to reflect the official results. The nice little bar graph below shows the official results.

Our new leader isn't the only thing with balls... the MX5 has finally made it through puberty. Mum is so proud. Check out the photos.
