Vernon Small gets it, though he misses that Poto’s vote is also a vote for her: the easterners have fine BS detectors and Poto sailed through that test during her 200 street corner meetings and goodness-knows-how-many personal doorknocks.

Mr Hebe here, forgot my logon, man. Anyway if the buggered stoners self-selected via an ad in the paper how come they remembered to follow through and respond? Kinda cancels itself out in the credibility stakes, huh?

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Yeah, sorry I got that wrong. Should have said that the Greens got less than I expected they would.

Led on TV One news: pretty surprising. Media presence was intensive last night-- good swarming of TV, Sky, RNZ, print.

Poto Williams’s win in Christchurch East: beloved did a little work for the campaign, so a few observations from a slightly-involved POV: Amazing person and worked incredibly hard; she sold herself with a punishing campaign of street meetings and door-knocking and getting out there. The Chch East electorate numbers are estimated between 28,00 and 35,000, so a 14,000 turn-out for a by-election certainly isn’t shabby. Greens collapsed. National will be perturbed: it was a hammering.

Capture: Spring Breaks, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
The Peterborough community people have posted on Facebook that they too have oneof these monsters that flowered most years and were wanting to get rid of i, then read about the Auckland one. I dont think it's the first: about 17 years ago I wrote about one flowering in a garden somewhere down south Canterbury way - Geraldine area? Memory gone, files gone: bugger. Apparently it's an epic stink.

Shining borage
Fallen borageBorage playing nicely. Here’s beastly borage: horns and prickles. (Working on eliminating that tunnel effect with the macro adapter wotsit. I do like it as a new-to-me effect right now.) Very liking LightZone too; it thinks like me.

Good photos Gudrun: the fog slowly rolled in and made everything odd and floaty. I specially like those ones of the beach and of my protesters that you put on Facebook.
