Oops - this bit came in quotes
I'm considering running a sweepstake for when trailerparks get recommended & by whom.

<quote>Re cheese, it does get fiddly and specialist very quickly
Yeehaa! Titration!! I recall expressing skepticism to my 6th form chemistry teacher that titration would ever cross my path again (after the only practical application she could think of for what was months & months of titration experiments, was if any of us became cheesmakers).
But there now, you've proven me wronmg.

that doesn't sound good... find out.
Oh we will - but the whole thing is a long story....

When it's out, it's an all-singing, all-dancing caberet girl. At home, however, it's a monoamine oxidase inhibator.
Thanks Emma, I must ask what it is my sister has been taking this week - supposedly an anti-anxiety drug - but it seems to be causing her to hallucinate quite badly.

Use grey water. Or black
I quite like what Kapiti Coast DC are proposing for new housing developments - that is along the lines of every new house will have to install a 25,000 litre rain collecting tank OR a 10,000 l tank & a grey water system.
We've got a 30,000 litre tank which is fed from half of the roof of (what once was) 7 stables. The water from the other half of the roof just runs away.
The rainwater is purely used for irrigating the garden, the house has its own bore (very nice water too)
We're seriously considering investing in another big tank & diverting water from the house to it. It is surprising how fast the water can go.
Of course... another tank would mean another pump to get it out there. It's never ending.

but saving $5 by knicking rosemary out of the public gardens in central wellington really adds up over a year.
Indeed! It is the only place to find fresh growing tarragon in the city.

A friend of mine has started making his own cheese
Out of interest - is he getting in the milk, or does he own animals of some sort?

I got this far through the Herald's Feedback
Bad things happen because we don't think happy thoughts. Do you really think the world would have had to endure Hitler or the Great Depression if we'd all stuck our fingers in our ears and sung lalalalalaaa really loudly? No!
Figured (happily), why bother to read the rest?

my trick is ask a question you know the answer to
My wife's is to feign ignorance, and the shop people oblige with information (usually usefull).
For instance, when buying a camera, she entered a well known photography shop & announced "I've just been reading about digital cameras - I know that they all come with pixiebells, but what I want to know is how many pixiebells do I need?
The man solemnly corrected her "Megapixels, madam"
We got a cool camera though.
