NZ Government interactive websites make me see RED
I've been trying to get into the Emissions Trading Scheme - am speechless at
the waste of my precious time on computer - won't try to describe the
process - just too many IT wonks in Wellie who have no idea of efficiency.
Had the same frustrating madness on the charities website. I've registered as a user, got a holding account, filled in 11 page pdf and
faxed it off.. and am not even at the starting gate.. all I want to do is
exempt our small forest from the silly scheme.

Big storm over all NZ forecast. Here it is sunny, breezy at present.
We have some ancestor-hunters in the Garden House - Granny grew up in
Fortrose. They are making good use of Joan Macintosh's book 'A History of
Fortrose', have toured the cemetery and are meeting Ruth at Waikawa Museum
today. We enjoyed their company at dinner - Australians doing interesting
things.

Brocken spectre near Lake Hauroko
Always felt that Lake Hauroko was a bit spooky! The pic is a poor copy of
a good image by Lloyd Esler on a recent field club trip. Below is a Scottish example from the web.
