I don’t believe him. I’m pretty sure New Zealand would have the same sort of Safe Church training as we do here in Australia, not just for clergy, but for any lay person who has an active role in the church.

Yup, that is right up there with the cohort of police cadets who successfully argued in court that because they hadn't been told explicitly that they couldn't cheat on their police training exams, they thought it would be ok to cheat.

Listening to the Flying Lizards singing 'Money.'
Watching a magpie collecting nest building materials, with a stick that is clearly too big for flying safely, but they are damned if they're going to give up this fine, fine, stick.

Damn, I missed the chance to curate my earlobes last year. Right? I have an uneven number of ear piercings and I didn't realize that this was significant last year. (Actually I barely wore earrings at all last year)

Amusingly though, I ALWAYS read that woman's column when I see it, I suppose because it's so often completely baffling.

I don’t like wearing several necklaces as it’s a pain if they get tangled

The radio is playing Nirvana, but it was some obscure track I didn't recognize, so I said "Someone's been listening to Nirvana" - like they're doing a great job of imitating Nirvana - and then pero goes "this IS Nirvana," which is hilarious
lmao what's even funnier is that I just realize I have that record, I just haven't listened to it in 25 years. Where is that "how do you know you're old" thread

Sure, but those are normal candles, not Healing Whatever Candles.
We bought battery-powered lanterns for Isabel, which are better for reading

I don't get the candle thing AT ALL I’m with you. Though they are good In ceremonial settings. But I don’t do scented anything. I bought an oil burner from somebody to support their home business, but rarely remember to turn it on. The candles in my house are purely for blackouts.

Oh absolutely: church, Hannukah, etc; I'm very pro-candle in those settings.
Part of it is that I'm kind of traumatized by how sensitive our smoke detectors are.

Yeah, I did wonder. But although I'm hopeless with fashion, I do read her columns. She doesn't take herself to seriously, and sometimes I get good ideas, like wearing my navy men's vest with a big brooch over a pale pink work shirt and under an oversized cream cardigan. It was all very warm, but even with a scarf, didn't look like I was bundling up. Which I was, damn straight. I'm also amused by the comments section, the number of people at pains to show how 'above' the trivial world of fashion they are. But they took the time to read a fashion article... sigh.

This weekend, we had a dinner for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. She had a glass of wine. She rarely drinks alcohol, and it showed pretty quickly.
"TELL THEM ABOUT THE TIME YOU MET PRINCE WILLIAM!" "I DON'T LIKE MEGHAN!" well, now the entire pub knows where she sits on that debate...
It was a lovely afternoon, even if I did get sat near the cousin who got shot in the knee by one of his mates, but still doesn't know which one. (it was dark. in a farm field.)

LC's school has an open day next week. The school is advertising itself as 'the leading college in suburb'.
In fact, it is the only college in that suburb.
