In 2009, Environment Canterbury set itself three drinking water goals, each to be met within 10 years.
It’s failed all of them, and drinking water quality is getting worse.

Another water outage out West, on a road that's been down to one lane for six months after the last pipe broke and triggered a landslide that also took out a power box. Councils need funding for instracture more than they need a rates cap.

It's that time of the year where the diet industry tries to hook you in.
Reminder:
1. There is no moral value to food.
2. You don't need to do a detox: your liver, kidneys and skin are really good at doing that.
3. 'Clean Eating' assigns morality and status to how you eat. Check your privilege.

In anticipation of US public domain day, I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about two NZ authors who published works in 1930.
The first is Palmer White, who published a pair of spy thrillers ("Mystery island" and "The circle of confusion")

My health was mostly ok, my financial situation is comfortable, I continue to like my job and the people I work with, and there has been very little drama in my life. It was a good year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
