Most of Franklin south of Papakura is confiscated land. Twelve ships of immigrants were brought out to inhabit the land, which had been subdivided into five and 10 acre blocks.

What's he done now?

Australis?

I believe they are tied together, so they can't be stolen.

@paullecomtephoto.nz do you recognise this?
I love the seating.🤣

Fed up "of"? When did that construction creep in?
Similar to bored "of"...whatever happened to "with"?

Forgot to mention cards, especially FiveCrowns.

Currently, Wordle and other phone games like SkipBo and Solitaire et al. Herald puzzles in newspaper. Was a big PokemonGo player until I reached Level 40. Loved PC games such as AofE, Warcraft and Diablo.

Hey Foxy...are you chill?

Are they allowed to fire back?

I can see this being reciprocated by those countries whose citizens are being banned. We're in the Tit For Tat stage of diplomacy!

I liked walking round it. Walking up it? Not so much. 😊
Hope you make it.

That looks like the Mount?

Is there an edit function? I haven't noticed.My best staff was not noticing quintessential when it was meant to be quince!

My sentiments also.

That nasty little gremlin called autocorrect, eh?

Canada has a problem?

Sounds like a sticky wicket to me!

Digger, mulcher and removal truck at the bamboo pile.

15-20m high giant bamboo with tiny figure (me) standing before the grove before it was cur down.

The trees are being poisoned first then removed, so I suspect the foot/rootball will go. The river bank will suffer, I suspect as it's been built up with silt over the years.
Currently the work is focused on mulching the bamboo which was cut down in October.

Is "that" why you suddenly appeared over the road? 🤣🤣🤣

Look, I'm not sure. This is a project being managed by a developer as a council requirement to offset a particular development elsewhere. They are meant to be starting work on removing tree this month. I'll let you know.

PS. I don't understand your comment about the football.

A young boy sits on the stream edge watching a metre long eel glide past.

It's a natural stream coming from ranges a short distance away. It joins a larger stream on our boundary, which eventually meets the sea. We have freshwater eels, which eventually migrate at around 40 years old to Tonga from New Zealand.

There is a concern that with the removal of the willows, the lack of shade will impact stream wildlife. That is the reason for the analysis.

I get the impression that there is little ragging/ banter on here. You'd be better hopping the fence where there can be some great set tos to take part in. Yes, it can devolve to the gutter, but you can avoid that by choosing who you communicate with.

But of course! 🤣

I don't think there's much need for reeling in on here. It seems a very sober and serious joint. You'd fit in very well over on the darker side, methinks. 🤣

@villainygroup.bsky.social i read your profile quickly and saw you were a prolific lover! Blimey!
How's tricks?
