Capture: Roamin' Holiday, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
From one of those comes this…
Don't get me started on how scary the moths are! So beautiful until they.......but that would spoil the surprise. ;-)

Chow down.
Have just finished China Miéville's Perdido Street Station. Am now scared of caterpillars.

Hard News: It's In the Kete!, in reply to nzlemming,
I can’t eat mushrooms, which I appear to have inherited from my mum.
Maybe throw them out and get some fresh ones?

Hard News: It's In the Kete!, in reply to Chris Waugh,
seal and whale blubber contains vitamins that are normally only found (at least in sufficient quantities) in fruit and veges, and that therefore marine mammals are an essential part of the Inuit diet
IIRC, isn’t it raw liver? (cooking de-natures Vitamin-C)
I’m a life-long vegetarian (raised that way, back when it was super-unfashionable, and have chosen to continue), but I have a certain respect for people who eat offal; if you’re going to kill an animal, I think it’s a good thing to eat all the bits that are edible. And as I understand it, most offal is super-nutritious.
One of the trickiest things about being vegetarian, for me, is trying to avoid gelatine*, which turns up in the strangest places. It’s not only in many sweets, but also some biscuits and other things like sour cream and yoghurt.
*a lot of people believe it’s made of horses’ hoofs, I don’t know why. In fact its main ingredient is skin.

Would you have guessed that they are Swedish?
Well….they’ve clearly been using Norsica shampoo!
[Edit: which the internet hasn't heard of! But we all remember the blonde on the white horse, right?!]

Hard News: Notes in My Pocket, in reply to Islander,
This all isnt any kind of paranoia: it is a realistic response to what may & can & has happened in a remote area.
The ODT had an item last year about how when Otago gets a big quake (as they will, sooner or later), people living in Central will likely be cut off from help for 2-3 weeks, and they will not only need to have sufficient water and food but they will also have to manage any injuries that occur.

Love it, Sofie!
And I'm afraid a little voice in my head said, "LIGHTbulb"!

Muse: The Good Word, Bad Numbers and The…, in reply to Steve Parks,
If I understand this matter correctly, there is no ‘correct’ figure as such, in the sense that there isn’t an official statistic for the weekly viewers of TVNZ7
Yeah, I get that. But a good opportunity to clearly re-state a correct figure, I thought.
