Listened to a doco on the Murray-Darling basin last night.

RNZ.

didn't sound good.

all the water is gone just about.

no flow.

just a series of pools.

hmmmmmmmm.

also a good item on New Zealand Native orchids. I have never seen  one in flower but when I was a clear faller (God forgive me) they used to spring up everywhere after the burn off.

Even Chris Mouatt was amazed at the breadth and depth of last nights programme.

Went to town this morning. Took the old six string and played a lot of gospel. That's the stuff. It makes people feel good. It surely does. Christmas is low key this year. Now that the nauseating snoopys Christmas is gone people can be a bit more reflective instead of wound up to a fever pitch by the crass machinations of pinheaded dj's.
Town remindde me of the "Azande", a tribe in nilotic Africa.
for a while there the big thing in anthropology was dechipehering the meaning of their dance.
Many recondite and abstaract theorys were put forward by learned long hairs but in the end one Peter Winch went there and talked to them and his conclusion was that it was not a rain dance or a dance to the ancestors or any of that crap it was f*ck it all dance. We don't care what happens we just gonna let it all hang out.
so there!
Ubangi Stomp anyone?
Carterton CBD looks really nice. All the shops have a bit of Christmas cheer in the window and it aint over the top but very effective.
Strength in adversity.
