The world's largest finger painting!

This morning at 7.30am the four of us went over to Porirua City for a New Zealand attempt at the world's largest finger painting...

Just after the 48 hour fame Ashwini had yesterday, we braved the cold morning and went in our warmest clothing to join the thousands already there since 6.30am and forming a 1km queue outside the Porirua Recreation Centre.

After about 90 minutes in the queue, with every facet of Kiwi life, young and old, thin and fat, tall and short, black and white (with some shades of grey in between), carrying others and being carried! We had the nation's TV stations, radio stations and the newspapers all there. And among the crowd, even the Prime Minister!
