Happy Dragon Year, everybody!
Happy Dragon year to you too Chris :)
Heres a Dragon Fly for all.
They are not easy to catch in flight. One second they are there ,nek, they are gone. -
Here is a holiday snap from my 13 year old daughter, who has just returned from a Royal Society Travel award trip she won.
Antarctica, January 2012

I got the impression the Dragon Fly here knew his year was coming. Here is a "take the photo already" shot . Either that or he was tired of performing for me.

She one it for her science fair project via the Royal Society's Realise the Dream event. Meran Campbell-Hood on this page.

Thought the couch conveyed this also. Everything being a tad odd.
Wonderful shot Sofie. Should any stray scarfies happen to visit Kaitaia, the sight of that couch would have them slavering with frustrated lust.

Now what is it about the couch. My Dune din friend (up for the BDO) showed me a photo of her and mates at some folk hip music festival on NYE where they chose a paddock to pitch their tents. Well, there's a fucking great leather couch at the camp site! These peeps are in their 40's.

I'd assumed that the scarfie penchant for torching sofas was a kind of youthful ritual rejection of middle class values. Seems that it may be more deeply rooted in the collective subconscious than I'd guessed. Anyway I wouldn't want to be downwind of a burning leather one.

Happy New Year (I know how to say it in Mandarin, but not write it)
Taking a break from a translation job to translate: 新年快乐, if you were wondering how to write it. Dragon is 龙, so Dragon Year is 龙年. Those are all simplified characters, so friends from Hong Kong or Taiwan might disagree.
Somebody else'll have to supply any firework photos, I'll be too busy lighting them, being the only one in the family dumb enough to get close to explosives of doubtful provenance with a naked flame.

They didn't burn it. I think it was they like to cart them around for comfort of camping. Extremely middle class camping too, and I bet a few of them were at O Uni. I got the impression it helped to be middle class if you studied there anyway. ;)

Middle class camping.
That should be the title of a treatise on New Zillund culcha. ;-)

That is an amazing shot, and what an incredible thing for a 13 year old to experience. Getting a sense of the scale of things at such an early age can only be good. Where do we sign our three up?

the last of the wood years...
Dragon Year
isn't it more specifically the Year of the Black Dragon?
or more ominously the 'Black Water Dragon'!!
a mercenary year to come?
unpredictable at least... -
Ian Dalziel, in reply to
the Waiting a Treatise...
New Zillund culcha
hell, a whole blog of chipperness
- the Culcha Mulcher! -
Lilith __, in reply to
Culcha Mulcher!
O yes! And could either be a great leveller or for the cultivation of tall poppies ;-)

The truly cultivated would be found in tents of intelligent design.
As opposed to 'pup tents', which would be restricted to those who have gone to the dogs.

unpredictable at least…Heh, my other half is a Water Dragon. Black? Sometimes :)

People in glass hothouses....

off the grid...
and now for some seriously light entertainment...
a truly excellent comic piece from Chad Taylor and Jonathan King
City Lights at Mr King's Brighter Future site...
may there be much more to come. -

All I know is that, starting my second Dragon Year in China, I've now gone through the full cycle of the animals. I have no idea what element it's supposed to be, I've heard Water, I've also heard Metal - but then again, this wouldn't be the first time in recent years people have apparently decided to ignore the calendar in favour of a better sounding element.

Jackie Clark, in reply to
There are water dragons, and wood dragons. And apparently lots of other dragons. I am a wood dragon. Whatever that means.

So my image at top of page of lil' dragon fly in the bush is apt for you eh?:)
