KIWI. quite a few shot , news is all different at the mo.
Wow, we just had a mass shooting at two Mosques down in the South Island. Sorry to dampen the mood, but it's pretty unbelievable, up to 30 people have been shot by two gunman who opened fire during afternoon prayer. Two gunmen in full combat gear and using automatic weapons, which you can't get here legally unless you're military personnel or have a law enforcement endorsement. We've had a few shootings here before, but nothing of this type. I'm floored and pretty saddened by this, really unexpected here.

On a positive note, my plant is coming along well...
I'm in the Sth East and this is the worst snake season I can remember. I've got 3 resident snakes now; a big Tiger, a kinda golden one with a yellow belly and a black that's lived here since he was a baby and they all seem super mellow.
Went to pick up a bale of pea straw and as I touched it a 2 metre snake that I didn't see raised it's head to about a third of a metre from my face and we both looked at each other with “wtf, what's next” looks. No bad vibes, it was just startled, like me, but I didn't move until it left.
Anyone else seeing more snakes than usual this year?
Yeah Mick, lots of snakes this year, blacks, copper heads and tigers here, the misses stepped on a black snake walking the dogs, she wasn't happy lol, still go's and walks them tho

I have been battling rot left right and centre with this year's lot.. just trimming out infected areas but it comes back fast thenot I can manage... most the plants would still have 4 weeks.. some red hues with purple tinhe's but lacking the size. .. might just have to call it a year. What would you fullas do?
