Stoke Newington: A balanced diet is seen as important in Clissold Park. Recently overheard: – ‘Young mother in Clissold Park to toddler in push chair… ‘No darling, you can’t have cous cous with pasta – they just don’t go’. GO HERE for more such balanced views of life in N16. And nearby in Islington, residents are looking forward with vision to the next Olympics - see 'Olympic road closure anger' for the stirrings of local support structures.
Val Verde A local good Samaritan attempting to prevent his friend from drunk driving ends up in gaol (or jail, in this case). His good humored blasting of the mate's windscreen with paintballs was not appreciated - see the 'Watercooler talk' in the Signal.
Western suburbs - Melbourne The Department of Sustainability and Environment has issued and impassioned pleas for residents and visitors to Williamstown to be kind to seals - "Don't feed them - they will just stay longer ..." While over in Berrilee, stunned resident about to have a bit of a sit down finds reason to praise the firemen: “They were a wonderful mix of people, with a mountain of combined knowledge.” she said, when they came to take away a tree that had fallen on her house.
Wellington Organisers of the Khandallah quilt exhibition were thrilled with the excited public response to their recent show. One of the groups members made her quilts out of her husbands old jeans. And a quilt sold within minutes of the show opening.
Christchurch A mother and daughter got separated while picking up men at a New Years event, and each reported the other missing to the police. Could happen to anyone, I suppose. And in the museum the Fred and Myrtle Paua house gets great response from visitors. (One grumpy old arty person thinks the whole thing is rather naff, though. )
