You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Good morning -sky is clearing going to be a nice day but we need rain
Decided to do variations of onion flavours and techniques like I did with the sauce - did some jars yesterday with honey non soaked - have another lot in brine soaked over night which are going to have peppercorns bay leaf and a dry chilli.I did that with my tomato sauce made several recipes- the kids like your plum recipe best kiwimade that I turned into tomato
My sawmilling son is on the trade delegation to Japan - have told him to buy a ticket and fly on a normal plane !
Nicola Willis introduced a bill to enable parental leave to be split between patents - Labour voted it down no doubt she will get it through now she is in parliament .They had a fantastic day care out at the polytechnic - was set up brilliantly for young Mums to be able to finish off their education while being taught mothering skills but unfortunately when Hipkins polytechnic restructuring took place it was closed down .Some of the motel families have 9 children - 6 is quite normal - when you are delivering food to them you realise how much they need and how difficult it must be these days having a large family
Popeye my Nana had dementia - they have no control over what they say - sounds awful but you need to think about you - do you need him in your life if he does have dementia because he will keep hurting you he can’t help it - life’s too short

You'd think wouldn't you, that somehow all politicians could manage to set aside petty differences & work together for those things which are important enough that they should be over & above politicial point scoring. 
The things which are going to benefit everyone both now & into the future - & that's what seems lacking, politicians able to take a longer view than their term in govt, & politicians able to put their own stuff aside & work together for everyone's good in the long term.
