Hard News: Hope and Wire, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
This story in today's Press explains most of the reasons we're trying to find 5 to 6k to have our house assessed by a structural engineer. A former policeman did the inside; a builder the outside. In an hour. While trying to get the new iPads to work.

Capture: See Into the Trees, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Wonderful trees! I have mamaku envy.
I’m sorry to report that your wonderful fernlets have succumbed to the cold and wet: the soil has been sodden and very cold since the beginning of March. Lots of things are turning up their toes.

You have tree ferns? In China? Or have I missed something?

Rainbow across the Heathcote River last spring (unfiltered, slightly cropped, unplayed with).
Wonky gold evening.
Send me an angel. In town; unexpectedly.

Muse: One Of These Things Is Not Like…, in reply to Russell Brown,
A large part of the problem is Craig’s use of language, both here and in the past. It’s violent, bruising and abusive in itself.
And I’m speaking as someone not reticent in distributing profanities far and wide.
His motivation is fine: the execution is not. He is a sensitive person -- to himself not to others.

Nora, nature's filter is lovely.
When it's sunny next, I'm off with the camera to see if the butterfly tree is full of monarchs yet.

For my part, I am appalled that this thread is conflating the biggest natural disaster in New Zealand, with the most ongoing effect on many people in the country’s second-biggest city with the awfulness of rape and domestic violence.
It’s a badly judged, no boundaries combination of subjects that is distressing to me and bringing down PAS.
I’m disappointed and upset by it. Sick to the stomach.

FYI: I had a private response from an MP who is looking into the SSVT shutdown. Apparently there is much more to the closure than simply funding. There are other avenues of help, I am assured.

Hard News: Hope and Wire, in reply to Rob Stowell,
Doing it well is the hard part :)
I expect no consensus on whether Hope + Wire has done it well: it depends what the individual desires and the earthquakes' place in their life. Whatever, done by whoever, will polarise.
