Right-o you jokers, she's an oldie but a goodie. We can belt out the chorus, let's go: Poor Ned Kelly, it's easier to do, t'day. Poor Ned Kelly, y'don't even have t'run a-way Acknowledgement: Campfires
Now, this comes to mind, from a fair way back: Helen Clark saying, "Every three years, Winston pops up like Rumpelstiltskin."
Daresay. Maybe. But who's the classy one, Robbie G?
Ahhh, Winnie, my favourite Charlatan
Agent Cutty Sark reports: * Lifestyle? Chris Penk earns handy funds from busking. See photo up top. * His thrifty colleagues are generous to a fault. He gets by. * Sadly, Chris' band, The Termites, were taken out by a still-lethal borer-bomb. * Chris ...
Dawn today, with mighty symbolism, showing a way maybe, for councillor-farmers and more, one heck of an article by John Mccrone, published in Stuff: "Not your typical sheep paddock. Why sunflowers & lentils herald NZ's regenerative revolution"
Access-Testing. Hoping. After yesterday, if this fails, I'm snookered.
Whoops, Moderator, apologies. Guess I need to be more careful checking the auto settings....Strike 3. Out. Goodnight. [Sigh]
Thanks Weka, that's great to hear. May this precious site live on. [Third time. Please stick to one e-mail address here otherwise the system ‘thinks’ you’re a new user, thanks.]
Brigid, the matai, rimu (and lancewoods) came from the fine local nursery, specialising in natives. Yes, the plants are great. But your para #3 is a classic creation too. Yes, every republication rooster needs a good kick in the backside. Go well with the ...

Cheers Grey! I sense you may have a song coming up. Hey Bruce, I didn't know, so many thanks for mentioning the hemp info.
My Hemp Farm NZ calls this product of theirs: HEMP SEED & OAT MILK Hemptation the plant-based milk that’s just too hard to resist! Deliciously nutty, seductively creamy and silky-smooth. Hemptation with oat is the perfect choice for your daily essentials....
If I was a Halloween man, I'd be slack in November but cranking late April as the darkness sets in, and spirits (I'm told), are on the prowl. It seems more authentic to match the season to this place, rather than a calendar date attached to a Northern ...
Friends, let's go to Orkney. Skara Brae settlement, five thousand years old, revealed by The Ferocious Storm of 1850. Place of peace? Well, no weapons found there. The structures, all similar in shape and size. So, can we assume then, no hierarchy? The ...
Ahhh, Sabine, greetings to you, but maybe you've gone. My breakfast this morning, fruit in the sun. And savouring the Garden of Birds we began to create here in a grassy paddock 24 years ago. After a journey to Scotland and Orkney, thrilled by the sight of...
You beauty, WTB. So glad you are here and cranking. Go well.
Oh, for my error. Apologies folks. It was the Midhowe Broch we visited, described above. In the backyard cricket days of yore, we took no risks with The Scheme o'Things. Example: "Busta winda, seven-years-bad-luck." I truly believed it. Confusing Maeshowe ...
Cheers Ad, that must have been a mighty wander. Maybe you made it to the island of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, to see the Callanish Stones? I loved them. My wife says she didn't feel much and continued exploring on, to a smaller circle nearby. Whammo, sensed a ...
G'day Grey, cheers and thanks. I've had fun searching your keywords...and these: "Treeplanting Orkney." Good stuff, like: For Orkney, these (ancient native) species are generally agreed to be Downy Birch, Hazel, Rowan, Aspen, Willows, Roses, Honeysuckle ...
North o'Scotland, as folk here will surely know, is Orkney. And years ago, my wife and I are there, heading on foot to old Maeshowe. We are battling into the mighty cold rainy northerly, wearing all gear, but slowly and surely suffering in the chill. Not ...
2.2.1 - Robert, that's a paragraph. No time now, so will happily offer a big yes to the lot, and one day, turn up. Go well, get there on Saturday and after. Soon I'll put a message in a bottle pointed south, and so be in touch direct. J
It's great you raise this. A 1998 NZ television series, The NZ Wars, was hugely popular. James Belich presenting. The programme was based on his book of the same title. nzonscreen has excerpts. (Not sure if the DVD is still available). There were calls for...
Weeell, it's Monday, and, impossibly so, there's just three of us, Phillip and JanM and I...Getting There. So, right now, it's like we are around a Campfire. Beauty! And we're happily sharing this excitement, that our young 'uns will now learn more o'the ...
Gosman, so glad to hear you were inspired to attend the Wellington March. Sounds like this is the beginning of a brave new you. You say " I have no problem with the science." That's great. So what's the action then? Come on, what needs to happen now.
Gosman, I believe they desire for the future generations to have some Wonder Planet left, and not dwell in hell. Your wearisome stirring feels sad and useless. There must be something else in life. Maybe, quit the questions this very day. Meet the lively ...
Robert G to Treetop (2.1): "Drop your questions into Open Mike and you might get a response." Incognito (2.1.2), I'm for that. To my mind, Treetop's offerings clearly belong in Open Mike, and for sure I'd be happy for you to please make the call to ...
