Cappuccino Dreams. "You all know how much I love the arts and how generously I fund them ... especially wanky ones where I can be photographed in the foyer. However, many perceive artists as an indolent lot and some economizing has been called for. Much of the rendering could be done by the unemployed ... or by visiting backpackers. Rest assured, the arts will survive - even if it's in a Kiwi D.I.Y. sort of way!" 27 April, 2005
