Also, go look at Reuben Sutherland's gorgeous new video for the Phoenix Foundation's 'Pot'.
I do love Phoenix Foundation's atmospheric vibe. As soon as I heard Pot, I thought how beautifully it makes manifest the idea of an ensemble. Such gorgeous harmonies. Yum.

I wonder if TV news suffers from the assumption that because they are not most peoples' main source of news, they don't have to bother to be much good?

good thinking, Emma

And also, where do you live? If you live in South Auckland, I have some contacts that would be happy to help you out.

Rosie, would you put up your email address so people can talk to you privately, or is there an issue with nosy spouses?

I'm thinking, like a complete idiot. I have clearly failed to internalise the concept of "quitting while ahead".
If we didn't have this urge then none of us would ever be born. Having said that, if I had a baby like Bob, I'd be seriously tempted to enjoy him all to myself for the next couple of years, at least. That boy of yours is simply delicious. He's someone I look forward to meeting, very much.

Now, that's someone to believe in.

I forgot to mention that we are friendly with all the people down our very short cul de sac. Lovely peeps they all are. And I feel guilty because our lovely Nan - her name, not her relationship to us - across the road, who is 84 and going strong, had to go into a rest home, and do you think I've visited her more than twice in the last couple of months? Have I bollocks.

Ah David, I live vicariously through you. Fantastic. I've never had particular problems with neighbours, really. Very lucky I guess. For the last 20 years, I've lived in the same place, with only a couple of changes of neighbours, of whom there are 4. Young couple next door, very lovely. Older couple out the back with teenaged girls - they like to party, and I once rang up noise control at 12am thinking it was 2am, bit embarrassing; Samoan neighbours on the other side who have umu but never too late; and the flats next door, where the lady who lives in the end unit hacks away with a very nasty smokers' cough at night. The only bugbear I have is that the man who owns the units chopped down all his trees on the boundary of our property, and consequently there's no more nudie romping in the backyard for me.
