I said yes. My fence is getting ever-more political.
At least I’m not as bad as the house I saw down on Riccarton Road the other day that had signs for five different (and wildly opposed) political parties on its fence. I imagine a family that have really intense debates around the dinner table…
But in more important news:
Looks like any day now the flowering cherry will start doing its thing!
arvestbird’s writing talent has been recognised with the inclusion of one of her essays in Tell You What: Great New Zealand Nonfiction 2015, which had its Christchurch launch last night. She invited me along to the launch, where she and a few of the other included writers read teasingly short excerpts from their essays. It…
own to the last few days of work before the Christmas break, and I’m seriously feeling in need of a holiday. What with boss still being away on parental leave, and several big deadlines falling in December, work hasn’t had the usual end-of-year wind-down this year – we’ve just been in full-on busy mode trying…
lection day is looming, and the campaigning is hotting up. I had five pieces of mail in my letterbox when I got home this evening, and they’re all from political parties. Most went straight in the recycling bin as junk mail, but one I’m considering – a letter from James Dann, the local Labour candidate,…
nother stupidly hot day (although apparently it is a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday at least). We’ve got all the windows open in the office (air conditioning? what’s that?) to very little effect, but at least we can take comfort from the fact that we’re cooler than the roofers we can see working on…
esterday wasn’t all about the elections (the less said about the results of which the better). After I finished my shift at the polling booth I walked down to Hands and stocked up on a few* supplies for a class I’m going to with MrsGwilk on Tuesday. Then, as predictions of rain had been proved…
As promised, a totally selling-out post on the Food Show, which I attended today (with Lytteltonwitch as my trusty assistant) thanks to free passes from a friendly PR person. I was greatly amused when the free passes turned out to be media passes! Yes, I know blogging is social media and all that, but it’s…

Oh! Flowering cherry tree! I just love those!
Hey – thanks for letting me have the sign on the fence! And while it was a form letter, it really wasn’t that mass produced. I did 10 – and hand signed them all. Of the 10, I got responses from half of the people thus far. I think it’s a pretty good rate of return, and shows that I should have done it sooner 🙂
The idea of asking people with Green signs was to show that Labour and the Greens can work nicely together. I think we can. Also, as a book lover, I would say that you should vote for someone who writes books, rather than ignores them 😉 http://onceinalifetime.org.nz
