    Holding my baby. This morning’s job is to finish raising the fencing around the run for our three newly-acquired Light Sussex chickens. They escaped on their first night and caused much alarm.

    Kia ora, Good to be back, for I had drifted away, to less interesting places, over the past year or two. I have sort of inundated my social media with my proudest horticultural achievement but if I could be permitted one more posting: a large bunch of bananas (Cavendish Dwarf variety) harvested from our garden yesterday, They should get us through a few muffins and banana bread in the next four weeks.

    Thanks, Ben. All I have heard from crazy-for-guns apologists today suggests that they shut up and acknowledge that they are attempting to push shit uphill, againsta broad wave of popular support for strengthening gun laws.

    Your comment about ‘trucks and vans’ is just a distraction from the argument, and quite meaningless. It is possible to argue that private vehicle ownership, along with alcohol abuse, has long been the prinary cause of death, destruction and social cost, in New Zealand and elsewhere—but is anyone calling for the prohibition of these two primary causes?

    Christchurch folk might be interested in going along to a public meeting Better Public Media this Sunday (March 24) 1-3.30pm in Undercroft 101 (under the main Library) at the University of Canterbury.
    In these days, it is timely to talk about the role of the media in drawing us together, or rendering us apart. There will be a panel with people such as Ali Jones and Julian Wilcox to address such questions.
    We did have the Minister Kris Faafoi lined to open up proceedings, with the 2019 David Beaston Memorial address, but he has had to drop out and we are looking for someone of similar stature,
    You don’t need go stay the whole time, unless you want to become involved with BPM, at the AGM which will wrap up the meeting,

    The Canadian evil twins who visited earlier this year weren’t providing ‘free’ speech; you were expected to fork out money to hear their bile.
