  1. Hello! Is there anybody there?
    Cold damp night in Kerkeri, I have lit the fire.
    I am home alone.
    BB is having fun in Auckland.
    Well, I hope he is, as he has had a tough week.
    It's been busy for me too.

  3. Hi all ... & again a sense of emptiness descends, and nay a clue to be found.
    I must say that I am impressed that classical poetry is still to be found in the home paddock though, quite lovely.

  6. Got the fire going here in Auckland, although it's not super cold. It's just more...comfortable...with it.
    Looks like the fine weather has gone for the moment.

  9. Let's get the conversation going... turn your head to the left and name the first colour you notice. Turn to the right and name the first electrical item you notice. Then list what you drinking and what you are eating and what you think your next blog post will be about.

  24. Oh, hi Madeline. Still up and about? Mojo is on the friends sidebar under "Wine Enhanced ..."

    He made an interesting observation that one of the reasons NZ'ers are considered to be increasingly turning to the turps is because various studies use (loosely speaking) the concept of a "standard drink" to sum the amount of alcohol we consume, and note that it is increasing.

    Or is it? As Mojo points out:

    Standard drink
    In New Zealand, a standard drink is defined as the amount of beverage that contains 10 grams (or 12.67 millilitres) of absolute (pure) alcohol (ALAC 2004).

    This definition of a standard drink differs from the definition used in the previous national surveys on alcohol use in New Zealand (Habgood et al 2001; Wyllie et al 1996), where a standard drink referred to 15 grams of absolute alcohol.

  26. Morning everyone!

    Sorry I wasn't around last night, I went to bed really early just for a rest (at 8:30pm), and then didn't get up again until the morning. On the the bright side, I am wide awake and perky right now. Getting a reasonable amount of sleep is amazing. I should do it more often. Of course, that would mean we would have to lock our kitten outside for the night - she's causing havoc right now with sleep.
