   I don’t count Dennis’s rantings as political – it’s too hysterical.

     Anyone thought up a better basis for a system of government than a watery tart in a pond giving away a sword and telling someone he is king? Dennis the peasant explains how the autonomous anarchic collective he belongs to makes decisions with I think a two-third majority but that only applies to internal matters and… Monty Python will explain further.

     Sounds like you need to move to Dunedin!

     BD, I am not sure I have ever agreed with you on anything, but on this – yes. But we in central NZ have only had a fraction of what our fellow NZers further south have experienced over the last few years. My hat off to every single one of them.

     But yes, a quake free weekend would be nice – plus, if not sunny, at least dry, so I can clean up my boundary with my very difficult neighbour who is away for four days for the first time in 5 – 6 years.

   One of the answers to how Slovenia and Croatia manage to be so clean and green is the policy of having a major clean up in the spring. Businesses back the springclean and once the countryside is cleaned up it seems to stay cleaned up. I went for a swim in the Adriatic yesterday and the water was crystal clear and warm. (Wherever my wife sits down to eat the wasps gather while strange cats and kittens gnaw at my ankles. What does it all mean?)

     Your wife is obviously a sweetie and you need to stop hiding bacon in your socks 😆

     I found the countryside in almost all the European countries I’ve been in cleaner than Aotearoa, at least in terms of visible rubbish. The sea around Pescara was transparent, possibly due to the pebble beaches. I don’t remember seeing rubbish anywhere, unlike Great Barrier Island, where I walked for hours to a fishing spot strewn with beer cans and cigarette packets. I saw trout swimming in canals inside the city of Ulm, where Einstein’s birthplace is marked by a MacDonalds 🙁

     We could do it. Why do we just ignore the problem and lie about it instead?

   A nice sunny day to finish digging the veggie garden.

   Murray Olsen: while in the Arab emirates we were horrified that nearly every person fired all their wrappers and waste food on the ground wherever they were. Incredible! But there were teams of bangledishi employed to clean up. Jobs I guess better than poverty but the environmental impact awful. I swear in nz we are getting worse. What happened to TidyKiwis?

     My guess? Rogernomics happened to TidyKiwis. I’ve dealt with a few rich Gulf Arabs and, by and large, they have the same mentality that NAct afficionados display – everything is there for their entertainment and pleasure, everything is for sale, and everyone is corruptible. They’re more open about it than the Kiwi rich used to be, but with the Aaron Gilmore cloning industry going full steam ahead, how long will it be?

     Like. Nor do I forget “where the rose is sown”
