Hard News: The Next Act, in reply to Russell Brown,
a different user name that I had completely forgotten existed
Busted!!! ;-)

Just next door, this is the now-vacant site of the Sumner Community Library. Imagine how brilliant it would be with the fence taken down and a bit of grass around a prefab or pop-up library.
Instead, Sumner people have a library van for 8.5 hours a week, parked down by the beach where nobody sees it.
There is talk of a new community facility combining community centre with library, but has yet to reach the planning stage, and is obviously some years away. Sumner people need a pop-up library now . It doesn’t need to be fancy, any old thing will do, just as long as it’s full of books. It would be a treasured community asset.

The site of the demolished Sumner Community Centre is now a delightful gathering-place, with the pop-up fish-and-chip shop in a container just opposite. It’s a great example of what can be done with a vacant lot.
Friday night, and the main street was humming, with dressed-up people eating in cafes, and younger folk coming up from the beach in towels for their fish-and-chips. Everyone seemed to be laughing and smiling.

Yes, it's quality work, that sky-painting. ;-)

I love cirrus clouds, always changing.

Yesterday we had some lovely clouds. And the Port Hills in their summer colours.

Corel's Paint Shop Pro is a good graphics suite for Windows. But it's not free. They do a 30-day free trial, though.

Tonight I was lucky enough to be at a friend’s house when her baby-hedgehog friend turned up for its supper! It comes every night at the same time.

Thanks for this David, a fascinating article.
BTW I think the photographer is Neil Trubuhovich :-)

So green
Yeah, it's green by the river. The hills though are their summer colour - tawny-brown.
Thanks for the identification, Joe. :-)
I know when they do dredge the river they get absolute MASSES of the stuff, it's a wonder there's room for it all in the riverbed.
By watching the ducks feeding I gather it's home to a fair number of beasties they like to eat, though. When the weed is exposed near the surface (by the tide) they have no interest in bread.
