Another blog - another day

Christmas is coming fast and as usual at this time of the year we have been out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and will also be out this coming Friday - a play at the local repertory. Caught up with a few ex-work mates on Wednesday at a Pensioners function. Its free so we went!! Although we also try to attend the mid year one which we have to pay for ourselves.

The annual charity raffle that I am involved in started today so that will take up some time as usual. SeniorNet is down to the last couple of weeks of classes and I tutored at a Blogging for Seniors Course today which I felt went really well as they all seemed quite excited about the possibilities.

Crime again - our first real prosecution of a case under the new anti smacking Bill took place with the father being found guilty. Although what the papers said he did seemed quite inocuous, I think there was more to it.
Further to my last blog, we now find that the murderer who was out on bail when he killed again was previously charged with rape but got off as somebody gave him an alibi. Later, it was discovered that the witness perjured himself so, although they were charged with this, under the "Double Jeopardy" law he could not be charged with the rape. I know this law is being looked at but it seems crazy.
As they say the law is often an ass.
