I found this  on the computer. Photos and tiny bits of video when we were away in the Waiarapa in 2004. How the children have changed. Still love the Joni Mitchell song.

This is the way to go!

BBC News – Call for pre-watershed ban on junk food advertising

Next Sunday sees changes in the road rules here-to bring the country in line with every other country in the world. NZ is riding itself of the funny give way rules that boils down to having to give way, when you turn left into a road, a person wanting to turn right into the same road. A recipe for confusion for anyone visiting the country and a  recipe for accidents for the locals the way it works in some circumstances. Good riddance and welcome back the sensible approach.

Reports of the death of the PC are greatly exaggerated | Technology | The Observer: Granted, it has a significantly better display, a more powerful processor (therefore better graphics performance), a better camera, which will record HD video, and a wider range of mobile connectivity options. But otherwise, it’s the mixture as before – though that didn’t stop the Apple website being swamped on Wednesday evening, presumably by folks anxious to pre-order the newest new thing. (Memo to Apple: why not set up a system whereby customers’ salaries are paid directly to the company and they are then issued with food stamps and other necessities as the need arises?)
