Missed you!!!
Thank you. My vicarious habit can be restored again!
Now we all know that word because Maddona so helpfully explained it to us upon the death of Princess Dianna. It’s just she said the word and the meaning all in the same sentence, she’s a living lexicon!

All above and same here.
It was almost like when the Marmite factory had burned down.
At least I could re-read your articles.
It sounds like a war zone in the Hawks Bay.
This is going to be for a long time coming, the news sounds very bad.
The pilots report is very grim.
But why is this not on other news channels?
I had only heard Hipkins had asked AU. for help but your report says it was declined until only recent. My God.
What a Nation of lies and deciept from our polliticians.
Thank you DTNZ
