    Whose horses are they?

    They are nominally some of ours, but I don’t think they know it :)

    Wonderful to see creatures at such a peak of fitness. And flawlessly groomed with their coats shining.

    Or scruffy and wild :)

  • Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas,

    Hearsay gossip: someone mentioned recently that Chch area may have a fairly rare phenomenon; a complex web of faults, such that one event triggers others, which in turn put tensions on others…. and it can go on for years.
    I didn’t quiz them, and I don’t know the source. Only mention it because it might fit with what the anonymous poster on interest.co.nz seemed to be saying. And we have discovered (and are discovering) a bunch of faults to east, west and south of the city.
    They do seem to keep pinging, but they were quiet for centuries, too, so I imagine nothing is certain. Just the usual simple pattern of large quake, and a series of diminishing aftershocks, doesn’t quite fit.
    No word of any ‘secret reports’.

    Ae. Sounds bloody unhappy.
    Still, it was a special favourite of my son Oscar, and I’ve enjoyed watching it with him- especially The Puddin Owners Song

    In fact, he wants to watch it now :) Thanks youtube (and Joe!)
    And merry Christmas!

    Cool!
    Yeah, it didn’t translate the anarchic (and nonsensical in the best sense) flavour of the book. But the voices and animation are good, and the characters work. And some good songs :)
    Footrot looked good too. Too many features are ruined by producer/director insistance that the story has to be big Big BIG and the third reel climax AMAZING. When small, everyday, well-observed can be so powerful (and Murray Ball does small brilliantly).
    (sorry, this does appear to be on the wrong thread. but cross-threading is quilter's life, eh)

    Hey Joe :)
    Did you have anything to do with the animated The Magic Pudding? Love that- though now our old vhs tape has now gone west, I'll have to look out for a dvd.

  • OnPoint: Dear Labour Caucus,

    Hone’s address in reply. Sounds almost like a leftist!
