It's so nice here today, I've decided to stay.
Glassy water on the estuary, sun tumbling down on everything and the soil warm enough for planting most things. People coming into the shop wanted seed potatoes and, surprisingly, garlic cloves for planting. Most of those faces were new - there's something afoot in the world of grow-your-own. The empty shelves at the supermarkets might have something to do with it. I've never seen them so bare.Our German wwoofer spent the afternoon flying the tiny Chinese kite he carries with him when he travels. (There was the slightest breeze over on the farm and it's the slightest kite.)
There's a Farmaggeddon event tonight, at a secret location in Invercargill (William Street - Saskia's house).

Sounds too good to be true Robert. Our Invercargill whanau whom we caught up with in Christchurch at the weekend reckon that a holiday in the deep south will be just the caper for us, so we're looking at February/March. We're also keen to go over to the island, and to overindulge on kaimoana; we heard that the flounders from Oreti Beach are worth fasting for!
Feb?March is good Invent - most settled weather of all the year ...probably :-)
Oreti beach flounder are ka pai but those from the North beach at Riverton sweeter!
Rakiura is a great destination - you'll probably have to pay the visitor tax by then! Key says it's a great idea, so you'll pay it willingly!
Come on out and have a look at our driftwood artworks - they're stupendous! I've got a Christ-figure I know you'll like (see the Deep South column in October's NZ Gardener for a pre-view).
Just don't do Mohamed Robert, that could get you in a whole lota trouble.
I wouldn't 'do' Te Rauparaha down here either!
Ever seen a Maori Ghost Robert?
Might have to pay you a visit Robert; I'll be the dude with the brown paper bag over my head :)
Can't say that I have Shunda, but I've seen plenty of their dung!

I'll recognise you straight off Invent - you'll be the nervous-looking bloke weaving his way through our pagan sculptures.
We're a very green town!
