YIP

We have stolen this from Bastable... It has huge resonance as we gnaw our way through a lamb killed two days before Xmas and some venison from the inlaws and some crayfish as well..

This has been the Xmas of good food. We have made a Xmas cake , xmas mince pies, strawberry and mixed berry conserve and the garden has delivered zucchini, spring onions, rhubarb, broccoli, and numerous herbs.. and we will be doing a spot of eeling in the next couple of days in amongst bailing some hay...

WEATHERSTON PART TWO

Bastable has a good take on the Weatherston issue. And backs up what we said. We werent surprised to see that the inmates did the chanting, taunting thing, thats not all that uncommon.

And the superlatively sensible and wise MacDoctor has a good summary on the tattered mind that is housed in the head of Weatherston

ROLL OUT THE TUMBRIL- UPDATE

On the 6th of March we blogged on the fact our car was stolen after it was left at the Masterton Train station - under the security cameras. We contacted the people with the security footage and the Masteton police. The security guy got the thieves on tape. However he needed us to get the police to ring him. We gave all the details to the Masterton Police who said they would chase it up. A week passed and nothing had happened - we talked to another constable who said they would look into it. Still nothing. Then yesterday the Aussie Rock got a letter from Land Transport saying there had been a change of ownership. He thought that the police must have notified Land Transport that the car was stolen. I thought it was a bit odd - anyway the Rock rang Land Transport and low and behold the car was re registered the day after it was stolen.... They wont say where - they want to talk to the police and will release the details to them. Farrrrkin protracted process we reckon....
So when we find out who the little buggers are we will be borrowing this canon and these gunslingers from Oswald Bastable to deal to the bastards who stole our car!
