Summer Solstice

Kia ora,

Tonight is also Matariki (Maori new year). Head out and look east for Pleiades (= Matariki/ Subaru/Seven Sisters). I'd like to say I'm going to spin some fire to celebrate but nooo, I'm going to spend the evening calculating post-hocs for a report that the Minister for the Environment will just ignore anyway (because plants don't have tails & blow-holes [add very, very bitter tone of voice to that last bit]). The things we do...

So please, go spin something burny for me.

Ta

sounds like that was ace firetramp! I miss glasto tor, gotta go there soon...
ta birgit, if i come across alec I will ask him nicely
wirewood happy Matariki, will go spin for you! Don't be bitter, ministers can't help that theyre dumbasses.
what's your report on?

Flora of banded ironstone formations (banded ironstone = iron ore = dig it up & sell it so it can turn up again 6 weeks later as a piece of cr*p that consumers can buy = very bad if you happen to be a plant that has evolved on banded ironstone). It's actually raining at the moment so spinning is probably out of the question anyway. Maybe tomorrow night...

well good luck with the report, i like your anti consumerism, shame they never listen eh. happy spinning

Oh... I meant you could ask Sunbird, I'm pretty sure it's just me he won't send them to though Alec should be on here, too, but I'm not sure about his username!

Happy Summer Solstice 2008!







Finally it's good weather in town

Happy Litha/summer solstice everyone!

we had a small gathering on the beach, we had a gennie and P.A a rather large fire, a small yurt that we ended up filling up with hot rocks and turned into a sauna, and we had quite a lot of spinning going on I dont have any pics i dont believe in them ( i like to remember things the way i saw them and photos only spoil the ilusion sometimes) the_mods_stole_my _name should have some pics of it though

Yeah sorry we didn't get there bud, both the drivers feebled out after a pretty heavy Friday!

never mind you'll have to come to anougher gathering sometime, we'll be having a few this summer i feel

WINTER solstice here and I went to Woodford Festival site to start organising a festival that happens between Christmas and new year (thinking ahead!) .. did stand by a big warm fire for a bit and looked at the stars....that was nice and cosmic... and semi-sorted some spinners for a bonfire in town....
