Thanks, Heather. I got what you meant. no probs. That means you must be at least one more rung up the nerd ladder than me!

You sound a box of birds, rob... get anything good for xmas?
Uncertain times - well, I've heard Bollard say we're moving out of recession and English say we're moving into it, Some say China's crashing but I also read somewhere they still expect to be 5th fastest growing economy, so I guess you can take your pick.
I was surprised we even made it to the 21st century. :-)
Didn't celebrate or mark the new year myself - usually at least have a bonfire and music to farewell the old year. And write down all my mistakes and crap decisions and burn them. very cleansing. Nothing I needed to burn, tho, so that had to be good!

What link text? I just copied the url - should I have put "|" after it and just made something up or copied any old text from the page?
Far out, sorry to be so thick - I've made it work before, it's just eluding me. And as for getting a youtube vid to embed - double duh! I wanted Annie Lennox & Al Green singing "Put a little love in your heart" as my new year's day song offering....christ, I'll never be a nerd. Distinct disadvantage round here.

Ha! Love it.
You can stay. Mental masticators, eh?

What a lovely phrase Kerry. I admire your positivity.
Why thank you, kind sir. I look forward to more of your well-measured and erudite postings from Sydney this year. :-)
That probably sums up the current state of humanity.
Quite so. The Powerful Ones just need to remember their humanity. And quit worshipping Mammon to the exclusion of all else.

Bugger. Why didn't that link work?

Ah, but we have one of those in nz - in Napier. I kid you not.

Doesn't quite have the sass of the Cuban one!

A metaphorical shout? Imaginary whiskey, hmmm, not much fun, really. Or what about an offering - a poem, a song?

Happy New Year everyone.
Enjoy your holiday up north, Sofie - sounds a lovely place.
Fingers crossed that new Mac comes right for you Islander. I wish you an especially inspired year.
Jackie, your dog (Cleo?) is blessed to enjoy your unwavering devotion - as are your pupils. Water is a great healer and I hope your success portends more to come for the year.
I'm hoping for a watershed year, feel like I'm spiralling up and out of something, a bit like I've been underwater awhile and am heading for the surface, expecting unfamiliar air. I won't arrive at the same place I went in.

Roger Ebert in his journal and his wonderful comments section
Thanks, Bob, that was well worth a read. Fine wordsmith.
Spooky to find several commenters alluding to Children of Men - a movie that has echoed for me, too, since doom lurched over the horizon. Pleased I have a large garden to eat from, although I really will have to stop growing so many pretty things that aren't edible. And a reasonably clean river down the road.
sad little towns like Woodville
Just drove through there the other day - the Windmill capital of NZ, it says on the sign. Depends what you want, i guess - towns like Woodie are more into tourist and traveller dollars these days.
I spent some time there a while back at the Lindauer gallery and his old home (the painter, not the bubbly!), trying to track down the provenance of a painting that's still in my family. I suspect it was won in a card game, possibly from the artist himself.
