10:14 pm	Breakout kings After two months on the lam, fugitive penguin 337 has been recaptured. Boooooo.

3:06 pm	Recharging Took the car for a very long drive this today to charge up the battery- it had been showing signs that it did not have a lot of charge in it, so hopefully that will have fixed things. Coming back over three mile hill from Mosgeil I noticed rainbow lorikeets in the trees beside the road, which was kind of cool. Nowhere to stop and pull over to try and get photos though. Am trying to shake a headache I have had since Saturday morning. I suspect a slight virus on this. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:55 am	Satire Those who have not been following New Zealand politics might not want to bother with this, but for those who are aware of recent National Party policies, this is both biting and funny. http://ludditejourno.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/stop-national-party-press-release-vasectomies-and-limited-liability-2/ (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:35 pm	Sudden events Was dropping th wife and daughter at an event this morning, when a piece of metal on the road embedded itself deep within the front right tire. Dealing with this flat, and many of the flow on getting people places complexities, has kind of defined my day. (Comment on this)

9:42 pm	Hulk rage. Hulk post irate blog entry I'm sure we are all familiar with the way the U.S. catholic bishops have been going after the catholic nuns for such dubious practices as looking after the poor. It now seems the bishops have turned the attention to an equally dangerous foe, the Girl Scouts movement. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10805171 (Comment on this)

7:29 pm	Whacked. As some will know, the had quite a bout of throwing up last night, and seeing as I am the parent who deals better with sleep deprivation I stayed up with her. She was home sick today recovering (last episode was about 5 am) and had a late sleep in. I was somewhat tired at work today, and am completely whacked this evening. She does some to be recovering well, though we are making her skip the early morning hockey practice tomorrow morning. (Comment on this)
