Thank goodness the wind has beggared off but had a hurricane arrive on my doorstep - blardy family my sibling who we never see or hear from she lives up North and if only the Napier Taupo Road hadnt been open I would have been saved an earbashing and a half - I went to the community meeting with one cousin from the three families including hers to decide what we would do with their inheritance in the Esk Valley that is full of silt and worth maybe a dollar - the grandchildren of the man who Dad was shares with live on the land - they were willing to take the problem off our hands so its in the lawyers hands - but the hag from the North isn’t happy - so now my other two siblings have to go to the lawyer - we will spend more at the lawyers than it’s worth - tried to tell her Dad never owned a share in the land just a share in a wool scour that is full of silt - we haven’t spoken for five years it will be another 5 years before we speak again .My Dad would be turning over in his graves - there is still a little bit of money sitting in an account he left me trustee of that I am to give a grandkid who digs a hole they can’t dig themselves out of - one of my sisters boys borrowed it once when he was in a huge hole but he paid it back - she seems to have forgotten about that - I had a lovely piece of snapper for tea she made me so angry can’t remember what it tasted like !
Kiwimade entrelac is fun because you pick up stitches from the side of the block so there is no sewing - great for using up scraps - knitting backwards is easy and means you don’t have to turn at the end of the row and it still looks like stocking stitch - had forgotten how much I enjoyed it
Feel sorry for Nash in a roundabout way - my Mum would say he lived beyond his means - he should have listened crime was out of control - there was no street lighting in town - Robie was running on generators so lighting in the shop was dim - car loads of gang members and their hangers on arrived - when people walked out the gangs just grabbed their trolleys - or walked out of the supermarket with boxes of booze or anything they fancied - two staff had knives pulled on them one young girl was punched in the side of the head - they had to close at 7pm because of the generators and no street lighting - they banged on the doors and revved their vehicles up right against the windows - the staff slept on site they were too scared to go out - the police could not respond there just were not enough of them - the staff hid their cars around the back the next day so they could go home when they closed - he had to stay open beneficiaries live week to week they couldn’t stock up on the weekend before the cyclone hit - wasn’t the police on the ground they were searching for bodies - he kept saying at the meeting people should have reported the crime that his stats are saying there is no gang crime .The donations Nash received from the people he sent the email to were a lot of money one donor was giving him $5000 a month for a year - there were a lot of others giving thousands of dollars including Forestry Companies not included surprisingly in the enquiry into slash .He has restored a beautiful old fire engine which he used when he was on the re election cycle - interesting character with a rich family history - very well educated - sad actually .Overall it is very overwhelming
