EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Got my booster this morning before shopping at Pak n Save in Kaitaia, where a dozen or so morons were unmasked, allegedly on medical grounds. Some of them wore stickers asking that the rest of us “Be Kind.” One young arsehole was obviously out to impress a trio of teenage girls who were wearing masks, but around their necks. He trotted around the store sans mask or bullshit sticker, then turned up at the checkout counter with a small bar of chocolate in his hand. These smug fuckers need to be challenged every time they do this shit. If someone is genuinely at risk by wearing a mask for 20 minutes, common bloody sense dictates they should get somebody else to do their shopping. The exemptions are overwhelmingly unnecessary and a joke as far as I am concerned.
Heard pf quenda – perhaps we could send Australian opossums back on a 501 and get this little animal turning over our earth instead.

The mycorrhizal fungi are essential to healthy forests and bushland. When plants such as eucalypts team up with mycorrhizal fungi, the plants grow taller and faster and are better protected from stresses such as drought and pathogens.
Given very few other species of digging mammals survive in urban bushland, it’s clear quenda play a vital role to disperse mycorrhizal fungi.
Quenda are extremely important ecosystem engineers in our urban bushland, so it’s crucial we help them thrive by making quenda friendly gardens.
Quenda feel safest in dense vegetation, so if you have a garden and want quenda to visit, plant a dense native understory. This provides both food and habitat for the quenda.
It’s also important to keep your cats indoors (especially at night) and to teach your dogs not to attack quenda. Make sure any water sources – think ponds, fountains, swimming pools – have an escape route or ramp for quenda, in case they fall in.
Evening reportnz seems to be drawn on The Conversation quoting Australian academics. Interesting and perhaps making sure they keep up their publishing rate which is part of university’s demands these days I think. The first item was about natural wine making, then something to do with brains, then the fauna feature.
Why can’t hovercraft or the like be available perhaps for hire from Civil Defence for such circumstances?

And Alan Gibbs small vehicle for road and water – where is that being utilised in NZ – the world? Was it only a toy for the wealthy.
