The thought did enter my mind, but only for a split second. Much as I love everyone involved, I couldn't have lived with the knowledge that I ought to have done something and didn't. It would have made me ill and my neice would never have trusted me again.
I felt cold and sick inside as I worked out in the garden deciding how to tackle the problem rationally, while everyone slept in after the excesses of the night before. It was about three hours before they finally emerged and I can tell you, those three hours crawled.

Evening all, Night Rag's. Night TF.

All good here. Busy busy Thin Lizzy.

Bridge, I hope your mate pull's herself out of what sounds like a classic downward spiralling nosedive, of which i, and i know many of us have been through. What's the latest on that score?

I tell you what. If i was ever to find that someone had been molesting a kid at a party/gathering i was at, i would be fecking livid. I'm working with a young woman at the mo' who's ex- husband is alleged to have abused their daughter. I'm right amongst it, from accompanying her to said court hearing's (ongoing) to Child abuse psychologist's. New, more concrete allegations have just been brought up too. Bloody heavy stuff for this young kid, mother, and family. I keep a cool head, but geez, if for any reason i was prodded by the other party etc....geez. Anyway, sorry to ramble on. This just seemed to tie in to some earlier post's.

Hope all is as well as can be out there my friend's! ooroo.

Morning Missy, sorry you have to go back to work on a glorious day - but hey - haven't you got a camping? trip coming up soon with Mr.B's son?

Nice to see you pop in, Reggie.

Had one of those mad Undie dreams last night - we were all in it. On a bus. MrG insisted on sitting on his own by placing piles of shopping bags on the seat next to him. Don't know what that was all about.

Woke up to steady, gentle rain which is supposed to continue for the next three days. Noice.

Thought he would have put guitar cases on the spare seat.

Raining here too.... and will do so for a while. But, but, but, saw a Peron's tree frog near my pond a couple of days ago.... so maybe there's a girl frog out there somewher too...
Do you have leeches at your place Tawn? We have salt in the laundry, and in the back studio for leech attacks. And don't they just love this sort of weather!

Just read Breaking the Cycle's thread..... horrendous what people do.

OMG, first Bridge, now Tawny ..... what's with the dreams?? :H:H

Yes, Tawny, I shouldn't complain! I just have to get through this week, and then we are off on Saturday to Tolaga Bay ..... small town on the east Coast, right on the beach and on the periphery of the Urewera National Park. It is beautiful, laid back and about an hours from the nearest town. We have booked a very run down bach, and are taking the tent for the boy, as he has never been camping before and wants to give it a go.

Morning Missy,
That sounds like it's going to be idyllic.... I love camping.




Sapphy.... I are unfitter than I thort... started the leg exercise and could only manage about 20 seconds in the sit position!! I better get stuck into it!!

Reg, want to buy a trailer sailer? We're going to sell ours.

Rags - no leeches down here but I noticed a load of grasshoppers yesterday - wonder if they're the 'locusts' they're warning us about? Found two dead sheep under some scrub yesterday. Fly-blown. Bloody horrible.

Missy - Tolaga Bay sounds wonderful. NZ's longest pier. Dog, what did we ever do before google?

Spitting chips ...

STATE POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
THE State Government has secretly destroyed more than 50,000 ``dinosaur’’ plants once lauded for their potential to promote conservation.
In a move that has angered green groups and robbed taxpayers of almost $200,000 in sales, the state’s last remaining stock of 52,000 wollemi pines was destroyed by ``burning, burying or mulching’’.
The revelation comes after the Government recently formally wound up the much-vaunted wollemi pine project - earlier touted as a global hit - after woeful sales resulted in a $12 million loss for taxpayers.
In the wild, the wollemi pine is one of the world’s oldest and rarest plants, with fewer than 100 adult trees known to exist in a small area of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, discovered in 1994.
After horticulturalists managed to ensure the wollemi’s survival by successfully propagating the plant, the Queensland Government won a tender to prepare the pine for the international market.
Last year’s annual report by Forestry Plantations Queensland revealed the Government had 66,000 wollemi pines worth $261,000.
About 8000 were sold for $76,000 to Victoria-based company The Wollemi Pine at $9.50 each. The plants are now selling for $69.90 each.
Another 6000 were given to botanic gardens and community groups.
But Primary Industries Minister Tim Mulherin yesterday said there was no market for the remaining 52,000 pines - worth $185,000 - with some root-bound and unsaleable.
``When plants are destroyed in large numbers like this, it is routinely by burning, burying or mulching,’’ he said.
It was a major turnaround in the plant’s fortunes, after former premier Peter Beattie lauded the pine in 2005, saying: ``(It) is regarded as a flagship species to raise awareness of conservation.’’
Queensland Senator Barnaby Joyce, a wollemi fanatic, questioned why the trees were not offered to the public.
``What?’’ he said, when told of the culling.
``I’m sorry, Tim, the wollemi did not meet your expectations of beauty after 200 million years of evolution?”
Queensland Conservation Council chief Toby Hutcheon agreed the plants should have been offered publicly.
``We aren’t pleased when plants are destroyed, particularly wollemis,’’ he said.

There really isn't anything to say to that article is there.

I've bought eight of the buggers at $69.90 and one at close to $200 thinking I was doing something good. Who's the bloody idiot then?
