Capture: Got the blues, in reply to Hebe,
Antonio Hall?
Indeed. I head up the volunteer team trying to put some life back into the place / slow down the decay a bit.

Capture: Great Southern Land, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
if someone could just talk to this family,
organise a Working BeeI'm part of a group of volunteers working on making something of their other property - or at least slowing the rate of deterioration - talking to the family is nigh impossible, we sprang from serendipity and a blog post found by someone who had contact with the property manager.

... Except at some point the link has started 403ing. Oh well.

Seems like it might be tangentially of interest ...

Hard News: Looking at Leveson, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
They ended up pushing this poor nurse into the limelight, and too far, purely to amuse themselves – abhorrent.
And in fact this was the nurse who originally took the call because there was no-one at reception at something like 5:30am in the morning - not the one who later gave out the details (on a line she must have had even reason to believe had been properly vetted) who must be feeling even worse right now :(
I personally absolutely loathe prank situations and calls, those perpetuated by the media most of all, and this is an extreme and very sad example of why.

Something the camera couldn't capture - the scent from this lady packed a punch.
