@purplepadma Goodness! Well, sounds like the best decision. For me, I had a very late night/early morning, 2 hours sleep unfortunately, so not functioning well today, hence playing on here when I should be doing mahi or work.

I hope you have a great rest of your week... I need to get off my butt and get into the day, its 9.30am here already and all I have done is drink coffee and put lunch on to cook while the day is relatively cool - it's been getting up around 27C lately here, too hot for me.

Labour of love saves local art heritage

A huge mural by treasured potter, the late Barry Brickell, that was once destined for the wrecking ball, has been safely installed in a new home in the refurbished Taupo airport. Chris Johnston, who runs the local Replete Cafe, purchased the work to save it from demolition and secured funding so objects conservator Liz Yuda could restore the piece to its former glory.

Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.

Climate protection is not a crime.

@Br3nda Now that is an interesting concept! I can tell you that right now we are so thankful that my specialist suggested years ago that it would help my hormone cancer if I laid off meat, the money it has saved us has been astounding and right now we could not actually afford it. I really feel for people who won't/can't give it up, I guess it's one of the things you CAN eat... hope your frozen shipment works out well!

@KiffinEileen Me too, kind of... have a tablet, not kindle, I use it in bed as my muscles don't allow me to hold a book for long in that position. I aroha reading in the bath with a book sitting under my chin and a good strong coffee!!

I must also look up F. Scott Fitzgerald's other stories on e-book that I have not read, we watched a series about his life, was quite fascinating actually.

Hope you had happy holidays. X

@KiffinEileen Kia ora e hoa!! You have reminded me now that I am off my self imposed Xmas break exile, that I need to delve into my pile of new (2nd hand) murihiku southland history books i got with some gift $$
@jeff I had 3 weeks off here over the Xmas break, now back on every day! Have birdidiot site still active until I can get all my usable data off, never post there now.

International March of the Living
Aotearoa was colonised by England, who settled its lands and imposed their own laws and practices upon it.

Mōrena, More beauty to start the day. Albertine flowers once and for a long time. Hardy and a favourite. There was a large bush of this on the way to school when I was young. I would stop to smell the apple-y fragrance. Got to watch the thorns though. Great fence jumper deterrent. Have a happy day!
