Gnorman News (From Fairness)
Tuesday 6th February - Waitangi Day!
Poor Gnorman has been through the war today. We visited the Navy Museum in Devonport and he was having a ball! He loved riding on the ship's wheel, checking out the model ships and (on impulse) I placed him on a cannon. Suddenly I remembered his fear of large weapons...but too late!He started shaking and to my horror, fell to the floor!
I raced to retrieve him when I noticed something was missing....
Where was his cat?
Then in shock I saw a stump where his foot used to be. Gnorman was traumatised, but so was the cat, stuck to his dislodged foot under this large cannon!
Anyways, Gnorman felt an urgent need to leave the Museum at that stage. So we bundled him home and reunited him with his foot and the cat.
Future hosts: please check the cat's eyes...I'm worried about him!
He's off tomorrow to Nelson , but not before he visits some more of our lovely sights in Devonport!

Update From Fairness: Gnorman Does Devonport!
Gnorman has had a big weekend after visiting a famous local Devonport artist David Kayouz!
David’s log from the book:
Sat 3rd Feb – Devonport
I met Gnorman this morning with his billet Cherise. He came for a portrait sitting, the painting will be auctioned off later. We discussed how he should be painted, but he didn’t seem too have much input. Infact I think he was traumatised by some of our suggestions_ rowing to Rangitoto from Devonport or a "Cannon ride" from the top of Mt Victoria. In fact the little goblet of, whatever he is drinking hardly left his lips (and it’s only midday) god knows how he will last the day! Still, we have taken a few shots and we will see how they turn out.
All the best

Gnorman has been a little lazy of late. Our lovely Devonport sea air has been making him dozy (or it’s that darn goblet of his, lol!) Anyways, as his host I have been busy and have designed and printed some business cards for him. He was perfectly still for the photo and I think he likes the result! (Have glued a copy in the logbook)
The next two days will be busy for him, as on Wednesday he’ll be sent on his way to sunny Nelson!
Cheers,
Cherise

The Executive Gnome!
Gnorman now has his own business card... Talk about flash!
He'll be handing these out as he continues on his travels around New Zealand, apparently he's gathering quite a following out there!
