With all the lousy weather thought we would be lucky to see the comet. This proved correct but we were lucky and saw it on two consecutive nights. It was impressive, particularly on the first night - one of the most fantastic sights of my life. All the neighbours came out as well to have a look. Haven't been able to see it since thanks to the cloud and and now the new moon won't help.
Rugby gets underway next Friday. We have a new TV it will certainly look a lot better - only hope the playing standards match the quality of our new TV. I am happy to have the AB's resting as I like to see new players.
My latest idea for our Parole problems.
If they get say 3 years we also add a suspended time equal to the time they are to serve. We can then set parole terms for a further 3 years after they get out. The important thing is the suspended term must be the same as the are sentenced and run from the end of that term - not the time they actually serve. So in effect a 10 term could be a 20 year term if the go outside the terms of their Parole although they could be released after 7 years.
Criminals - don't worry we will never see happen!!
Another thought is to out-source our 15 year plus criminals to somewhere like Cambodia.

Year of the DOG
Yes 2007 is the year of the dog as far as we are concerned. After having had to have our cat Steiney put down last year (at a good age of 16) my wife decided it was time to look for a new cat. Also her birthday was coming up!
She went - she saw - we got a dog!
He is a Shitzu-Poodle cross and is no bigger than a cat. After much soul searching and advice (which was ignored) have decided to call him Rhett after Rhett Butler from Gone with the wind. We thought it was an odd name but looking at Google there are a number of dogs around the world with the same name.
As for the current situation of the shooting, almost up the road from us, what can I say except once again the so called support services let us down. Why we don't have consecutive sentences and a long term (10 - 30 years for some) ban on driving starting from the time thay get out of jail is beyond me. The major problem is that when we let them out on parole we cannot keep track of them. The electronic bracelet must be used for the worst cases.

SeniorNet will be underway shortly so back to the grindstone! Won't mention the weather or the Black Caps - all bad.
