Quite a rocky economy.
'Don't worry, it's a lagging indicator' sing the chorus of ghouls. Oh, oh, oh, look! The line just might be flattening out a bit; praise be, the Rockstar economy is round the next bend.

Inspired by a friend who urged us to post more flower photos as an antidote to all that is wrong in the world, I give Winter Flowers #1: Luculia pinceana 'Fragrant Cloud'. Strongly perfumed but also frost tender.

It's really sad that these community newspapers are closing, but if i knew where to get one to read (since it's uneconomic to deliver) or they had figured out a way to tell us how to subscribe to the local news maybe they'd still be here? #digital

NZME proposes to close 14 community papers, 30 jobs to go
All of the papers are North Island titles, and they are expected to be closed before Christmas this year.

These local papers were an important way for local government candidates to raise profile locally. We need informed voters to vote in LG elections.
Sad they are going, could they have promoted them in their own main paper SST? offered online links /subs?

50 % of the air we breathe in a lifetime will have come from the ocean. So many reasons to support this good work, but mainly my kids have loved Goat Island. #science #oceans

If everyone, all over the world, who didn't like the #potus #zelansky #Vance interview gave some money (whatever they could) to help #Ukraine i know it sounds simple, but if that action helped & was another step to stopping war, be worth it, wouldn't it?
