Hard News: It was a munted year, in reply to Kumara Republic,
How else do you think EQC met their all-inspected-by-Christmas target? It all adds up: speed, lack of attention to detail (we have received no EQC documents for the September 2010 or February 2011 damage claims), and the asessors' glazed eyes.

But we'll all resist. Right?

Mmm Feed works on many levels. Stir hints at an edgier content.
Mash is a bit obvious.

Southerly: Coming Up For Air, in reply to David Haywood,
I'm hoping that with a name like 'Hebe' the phenomenum of nominative determinism might have kicked in, and that you will be an expert botanist
I wish; "Hebe" comes from my snit when the rest of the family would not call the latest kitten Hebe so I used it for a pen-name. I have some useful links and resources and contacts that I will email you in the next week or so when I have time to assemble them and the wifi works again. Sweet hazel I don't know about in Canterbury but there are many and various ways of utilising coppices and shelterbelts depending on your needs and the locality; eg for food, firewood, shelter, shade/sun and many others. Eucalypts are certainly one option; the invasive willows not so good. But whatever you choose, do make a species plan before you start.

Bloody well done David Haywood and family! I have of late become very fond of that area near the lake. A nearby shelter belt too; excellent. May I suggest coppicing of trees (for local info google "Brandenburg coppice") as I assume you will be allowed a logburner. I'd love to give you a tree to plant.

Srsly: bagpipes are war and grief instruments
Are they what! Maori and Scots (and Irish) have a lot in common in both those departments.

I hestitate to offer any suggestions in such glamorous company (you're all so well bloody read) but how about Tucker Time. And Russell please do a gardening/growing blog too (I volunteer).
