gas down, tree up, clothes off, and more

Val Verde. Gas (petrol) down for Christmas: They now pay NZ$1.10 a litre in the Santa Clarita area, (with a car wash), says the SCV Signal. This compares with NZ$1.75 a litre in Godzone.

Stoke Newington. 100 year old tree saved at Highbury Corner ronndabout after 1000 residents petioned , and Ken Livingstone (all hail to Ken) intervened. But the traffic will still be travelling blind ...

Flemington. 20 armed police with dogs seize drugs and gun at the Centennial Hotel, Kensington - just arond the corner from Flemington. The raid by police dogs etc etct on Dec 17 was only a day before our rellies left for NZ. Only a coincidence.

Christchurch. Nude and lewd on the beach at Spencer Park not encouraged. Sign has been erected. But still it goes on. One 67 yo local said when she took childeren to the beach 4 years ago there were naked people . She hasn't been back. And a 'middle aged Scottish man' has a lot to say.

Johnsonville. Makara (just down the road from J'ville) mountain bike park had a great day of competition in st7unning weather. New expert level tracks now opened.
