These are beautiful shots, thank you. I have whanau at Tuahiwi school: it's great to see such a tiny school in a tiny village represented here.

Up Front: The Aunties, in reply to nzlemming,
On the other hand, I have only a few friends I would go to the wall for, and I actually think of them as my extended whanau.
Exactly this. And my 'aunties' and 'uncles' made it abundantly clear how much fun my parents had before us kids, and now that we're older, the 'real' aunties and uncles do that, too. Sometimes wish I was in the habit of videoing family and extended whanau visits so I could show my future kids what their grandparents' lives were like.

I'm SO pleased to hear that you're all finally able to look forward to being settled for the first time since September 4 2009. Best wishes for the upcoming dismantling and so forth, and for having more sleep and a more settled Polly. And Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to you and Jen and the wee 'uns.

Hard News: Name That Food Blog, in reply to Islander,
Ah, yes apologies -- what I was thinking of was as in 'Kaitangata Twitch', the eerily earthquake-themed Canterbury TV series that screened in 2010 (pre-September...) I had forgotten the typical meaning.....

Up Front: Absence in the Arcades, in reply to Megan Wegan,
The $2 fried rice at Dumplings was *still* $2 in February. They've opened a new store now -- I think it's in Riccarton? Anyway, they missed their regulars so were pleased to be open again.

Up Front: One, in reply to Lucy Stewart,
.if nothing else, it makes me so much angrier at the way insurance companies are behaving. When they screw people like they're screwing red zone homeowners, they're not just stealing the past payments made to them in good faith, they're stealing Christchurch's future. All that effort, turned inward to rebuilding things lost, just to get back to where we were. It's sickening.
Exactly.
