I'm pretty sure the Golden Curry is still there (it's on Google maps anyway...) - the inclusion on the Just Eat online ordering might explain the lack of a website - could this be the same place?

I used to have a copy of The New Zealand Indian cookbook by Linley Scott, probably still in Mum's garage in a box somewhere. I vaguely remember it had some suggestions for adjustments/replacements for ingredients that might prove harder to find in NZ.

Not sure if this is going to work - Galway Bay August 2012

And we don't just remember the soldiers. My great-great aunt Marion Brown, of Southland, died when the Marquette was torpedoed.

Oh, and good luck on meeting your housebuilding deadline David - I love that the council are adding extra challenges for you - and you upped the level of difficulty by multi-tasking with a dangerous implement! Do they give you extra points for artistic interpretation as well?

I was going to say 'How can there be no comments to this? how is that possible! It is magnificent!' but then David whipped in there and commented himself. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed.

Busytown: “Glory! Glory! There’s the salt!”, in reply to Jolisa,
Whereas the other night I lost it while reading Great Expectations (Pip leaves the village and never looks back, waaaaaaugh, and then keeps thinking he'll hop down from the coach at the next stop, or the next, or the next, but doesn't, WAAAAAAAUGH), and there was nowhere to hide!
So hard to avoid total meltdown while reading! I think mine are getting used to my crying jags while reading out loud. They look at me as if I am a strange and curious specimen, and then hand me a tissue.

Lovely, lovely piece, thank you Jolisa. 'Every damn time', as you say. Glad it isn't only me blink, blink, blinking at that point in the story. A deep breath and a bit of a pretend cough...and back into it again.

Muse: OPEN HOUSE: Margaret Mahy, The…, in reply to Danielle,
A few weeks ago, I read 'The man whose mother was a pirate' to my two girls - I kept finding myself moved nearly to tears, as Danielle describes above. I don't fancy my chances of reading it without a full-on weep now.
I remember her reading to us when I was at Intermediate - with the multicoloured wig of course. I have a distinct impression that it was full of birds too - but I can't now remember if there were actual birds, or if that was just something she told us, that was so vividly described that it seemed like it ought to be true.

I see there is more manoeuvring going on with this...

'Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting on Thursday sold 3.7% of Fairfax Media Ltd. (FXJ.AU) as part of the Australian mining billionaire's continuing drive to capture seats on the media company's board.
Far from seeking an exit from its holding, Hancock Prospecting said it sold the 86.5 million Fairfax shares to a major Australian fund manager to comply with a policy that prevents directors owning more than 15% without agreeing to certain restrictions on taking legal action.'

Southerly: Liveblog: Moving House (Literally), in reply to David Haywood,
I took 20 cuttings of the apple tree -- all of which seem to have perished. But I do have seeds. Peasgood Nonesuch is a terrific apple (the name says it all really). Jennifer and I have lived with a Peasgood Nonesuch tree our whole marriage -- it would be hard to go without.
Grew up with a Peasgood Nonesuch tree in our garden in Ashburton - have never heard of anyone else having a tree - it used to grow the most enormous apples, but I vaguely remember that wasps liked them as much as we did. Sigh. Miss those apples. Wonder if it is still there?
