  Lovely photo Hebe. Perfect creation, every bit of it. The vase broken was a small symbol to me of all the troubles there (and so everywhere).I may not be down there but I was born there. Somehow it's ingrained I guess.I think of the planet as one place and when bits fall off, a little of me goes with it. Keep in touch and it touches everyone. I think anyway.
  Righto coat getting......

  It's so nice to see the flowers and the cones show a unity, also nice to see.
  Yes Islander it is a glorious piece. I thought the words were quite appropriate here. Enjoy.

  Church Corner, Upper Riccarton.

  Thanks Joe, I've been out and about. I bought a Japanese vase in the op shop. I got home, got out the car. the dog pushed me ,I dropped the vase, it is now in the bin.That has been my moment of silence. Instead of having it to admire and rearrange the entire room to accommodate it, I will now post a pic of a sculpture my friend has. It is a Virginia King piece called ..........not sure.

  Emma's put it more eloquently than I ever could, buit nobody grieves in exactly the same way and that kind of nonsense is pretty abusive..

  Hey, grieving comes in many forms ,true, but people who cannot discuss it anymore can actually be grieving themselves. as you say ,all different. I know people who get angry when something hurts alot. Doesn't mean they don't care.
  Anyway. Because Emma, you like gardening , here is a flowers for you and I may do this all day for people here down Christchurch way. My way of saying I care quietly.:)

• Hard News: CELEBRITY DRUG SHOCK NEWS! AGAIN., in reply to Ian Dalziel, 09:47 Feb 22, 2012

  Readallaboutit!

  Surely, back in the day, (when the printing press was just about to arrive) gossip was relied on. Chinese whispers was the end product of the horsemen bearing news from town to town. Stage coach would have brought news between towns. That mostly must have all been misheard or misinterpreted or personality clashes would have enhanced bad news etc.Therefore, gossip was an inherent part of our psyche. News travelled but maybe not so accurate so I guess no change there then.
  Maybe now with our ability to fact checkish, our patience is being stretched if accuracy is preferred and gossip has earned the category of trash, some trash and not so much trash, but bad behaviour earns king of Trash, eg. Murdoch
