Dumb question but how do you reduce the image size?
I have used Irfanview for years now, a tiny, fast and simple editing/viewing app. with all kinds of plugins for effects and features. Does batch processing too.

Oruru. Of course, also the home of the now defunct Swamp Palace. No more films but there is a bloke selling bric-a-brac….People probably still venture down the road as it is still on AA road maps.
Actually, the Swamp Palace is still a going concern. The film buff stuff has gone for a while but they still have dances and music nights. The Council, of course, makes it all hard work sometimes.
I am one of those people that still venture down that road, it’s the only one that takes me home. -

This is like my great-grandfather’s house at Oruru,
My dog loves that place, she talks about it constantly.
And..The names and the families are still there; the Jecenthos and the Da Silvas.
Here is an actual Jecentho, Phil, the guy to go to with trucks and quarries and diggers an' stuff. He did my driveway.
And...there is a bloke selling bric-a-brac. Bought an ancient film splicer off him.
That would be Ian, he has some interesting stuff, well worth a visit Wednesday to Saturday. He has a cheap nail gun for sale at the moment, jeeze, this is better than Trademe

Classic Kareponia holiday homes
House of the late Steve Herewini.
Most photographed house in Northland, apparently and as such MacDonalds decided it was a great place for a sign. The sign was torn down and stuck aside by a cousin who mowed the lawns and had a bit of a tidy up.
The house is still habitable with a stove and furniture all clean and dusted and the bed made.
Northland eh? -

Yesterday there was 9 under 4s in our extended family
No wonder you need a cage for them. Did the one in the hut escape?
ETA.
Snap, great minds think alike it seems ;-)
