Thought I'd start back into my blog with a cool site reference- www.bohrunga.com and follow with a photo of tap top charms I picked up on a quick trip to The Barking Fish in Port Chalmers. Unfortunately there is no website for the shop- but if you go to Port- well, there it is. I had a great conversation with local resident/shop owner/jeweller/fount of knowledge Chalky whilst he was smokin' a roll-up at the front shop door with his shaggy standard poodle beside him...sorry, no photo BUT he doesn't look like he owns a jewellery shop, let alone the bob for the tobacco! After browsing through the shops and galleries that were open that day in Port- and then returning to make my purchase, I was verbally accosted by him...Queue scratchy voice: 'You've already been in and I don't do discounts!'... Legendary! I reckon his is the only shop that's open regular hours and regular days out there- apart from the cafe. That must do something to a man...
