'fer sure and what look like grape hyacinths in the background and hostas in the foreground.
Damn waxeyes in the raspberry enclosure again. You are pressing your luck, little birds! -
Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Joe Wylie,
That Newbold is a right nong. How exactly do you determine an 'effeminate' appearance? Sort of like saying that you can tell that Newbold was once a crim by his appearance??

Cunning little bastards. Discovered two little waxeyes who had found a way into my raspberry enclosure this morning. They were released but with a severe warning.

Lilith; These are Ornamental or Sea Thistles, closely related to globe artichokes and yer pesky Scotch Thistle. I should post a photo of an artichoke bud once it opens into a display of intensely blue stamens.

Capture: Roamin' Holiday, in reply to James Francis,
Oruru. Of course, also the home of the now defunct Swamp Palace. No more films but there is a bloke selling bric-a-brac. Bought an ancient film splicer off him. People probably still venture down the road as it is still on AA road maps.

Just a thought; is anyone else a little unsettled by the way Christmas consumption has now extended beyond December 24, into the post-Christmas week. Boxing Day might be better named Buying Day.

Is it a commentary on significant shifts in NZ society?
