How can we (arts sector of ANZ ) help there?
Am happy to be guided by you, Joe, and you, Geoff-
(frankly, I dont think imprints of dead penguins do anything for any kind of fund-raising-
they aint art, they're necrophiliac squeams-)
cheers n/n etc. -
Milk powder could be used in gardening projects. Tomatoes do very well if given milk powder into the spot where you plant it. Seems to enhance the cellular structure or some such. Heard it on the 'rado' so it must be true. I believe it has something to do with calcium. Amen

Rather a tragedy knowing that bags which had not ripped open would be dumped and buried along with rest. Thinking how food banks could have benefited.
It was great to see how people organised themselves, without any apparent supervision--young boys swimming out to steer the bags to shore from the shattered container, adults helping teens carry bags above the high water mark, and burly blokes carrying two 20kg bags. I only happened to be there because we were staying with friends in Bowentown and it seemed rather mean-spirited to just rubber-neck. -
Thanx for your mention JP. I'm just havin' fun but you knew that.
Saw this on my way home yesterday. I have 2 homes -
And these guys did so well....

Calcium averts the dreaded blossom end-rot on toms.

be of good art...
So he took his dead friends Tony Fomison and Phil Clairmont
along by dropping them in the speech...aah! the pieces fall together I know now who he be... Mr GJ!
As a callow yoof I used to supply Tony and Phil (who were my brother's friends) with resource material - that they then used in paintings (a series of comic panels for Phil - when he was living in Peterborough st, I think - and old gurning photos and the like for Tony when he was in Beveridge St). They both supplied material for Uncool magazine, Tony did stuff for Ferret and Canta too... hmm, must scan all those sometime...
It was always fun tagging along to CSA group show and other openings with them - Heady times, indeed... -

It is the Jacaranda Tree and her discarded flowers. It was quite a wonderful sight as I came around the corner.

There you go---globe artichoke with stamens

That's cool Geoff. We even have a colour theme going on here too, so I will continue but make way for a chance to merge into another colour :)

Which is my wee Eucomis Sparkling Burgundy

Another What I Did In the Holidays story; fossiking in the folders of old school reports/ship menus/leaflets in the great Richmond Traders antique store near Nelson, I came across the original typed lyrics + transcript of the "New Zealand version of the US Marine's Hymn" c1942. Very scatological language and embittered sentiments and a corner of military history which has been largely overlooked. If folk are interested, I could post it here.

So this must be in Australia then? Have not seen Jacaranda Trees anywhere in this country. Or do they grow up north?

The colour of a jacaranda is repulsively Dame Edna to me. Startling but unpleasant to my eye. I have seen them in Christchurch but can't think where; Brightonish maybe?

And from me.

There's at least one at Moeraki in Otago, which has an interesting micro-climate and much odd flora...ex-whaling port with Europeans planting things from their travels quite early on (from mid-1830s.)

Heh. From the balcony of my old place in North Sydney I remember counting nearly 40 of the buggers during the 'season'. A lot of Australians, the kind that think that Nullarbor's an Aboriginal word, are under the impression that it's a native. It's South American.
Wattles are quintessential Dame Edna for me, what with Wattle Day and all:
Behold the golden wattle
Symbol of our land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your hand
