Self-reinvention is a way to stay young, as long as you can remember what you were.
I recall being an author, journalist, photographer, truffle grower, climate change writer, magazine editor and publisher, but who can be sure?

After some searching I attributed to James Cooray Smith the suggestion to maintain a mid-80s vibe while avoiding offence by replacing that one line in Fairytale in New York with 'You've taped over Taggart'.

By all that’s holly, the neighbour’s gin is both strong and good. This might be the last thing I drink before bed.

The fateful decision has been made. Son and I will cooperate on cooking the turkey in the Fallow style. The bird is now in the brine. Tomorrow we will stuff the legs…

Sad to hear that Blodwyn Pig founder Mick Abrahams has died. I saw them in 1970 at a Radio One In Concert recording at the Paris Theatre in Lower Regent Street, and promptly went out and bought their second LP.

Ironically if you electrify the full transport fleet, and put solar panels and batteries on every single house and factory in NZ, we would end up importing so little oil, coal and gas, we would end up in a permanent trade account surplus

So what we need is the rural sector to boom as they generate our export receipts aka hard currency
We need the cities to boom as they produce the services and industry to sell the goods and train the people to man the rural sector (farming is a science)
They are in a symbiotic relationship!

The number of glaciers disappearing worldwide each year is projected to sharply increase, peaking at 2,000–4,000 per year around the middle of the century, depending on the level of warming above pre-industrial levels, according to a study in Nature Climate Change. go.nature.com/4pEfbP5 ⚒️ 🧪
