Jason Rock pig came on and said,

I was lying in my bed one night, listening to a dedication on the radio, feeling rather pleased. The song finished , Jason Rock pig came on and said, “Sorry Sofie,perhaps that was a bit inappropriate.” Not at all ,(I thought) Nancy Sinatra was a fine singer and 'Bang,Bang ,I…

Andrew I can't finish reading what you wrote right now, cos I'll cry and cry, but I just wanted to add my big hugs too. It's been a pretty sucky couple of weeks for personal and public tragedy imho.

Do you know, it may not help how you feel right now. Nothing could make you feel better, right now. However, you just shared your beautiful sister with alot of people who will read that, and care that she lived. And that will help in the long run.

Thank you. I wasn't going to mention it, but in a weak moment I did. No doubt it helps, but it doesn't feel like it right now.

And I just got an email from an old mate, wondering if I remembered abseiling into the Mangatepopo Stream, on a school trip…

Andrew, that was a beautiful piece of writing, as was your blog about your sister. Condolences and large enveloping hugs.

On a far more trivial note... this week I lost my treasured replica of The One Ring.

It must have slipped off my finger. Possibly in the Botanic Gardens.

Should anyone come across it, you may as well let me know as the invisibility & middle earth domination features have never…

We lost Sue at the end of March. When I say “we”, I mean pretty much everyone who ever knew her: family, friends, family of friends & friends of family.

It is easy to see symbolism in the circumstances surrounding someone’s passing, we lost Sue the day the drought broke, the…

My family lost my sister in law, Mahinaarangi Tocker, today. Sad, sad, sad loss to NZ music, and to us all. She is precious, and irreplaceable. One less good person in this cold world.

Jackie, I am so sorry to hear this – I never met her but I have…

I lost a border once. Syria – about 11 years ago.

I was trekking out in the east of the country being shown the sites by an itinerant Palestinian. We were a bit lost and stopped at a village to get our bearings.

Turned out we were in Iraq.

We've all had something precious and lost it, be it a book, a jacket a friend, or just our innocence. But it's okay — you can talk about here …
