From time to time you might want to post comments updating or giving a different perspective on an old post but if you do that then it’s unlikely anyone else will see what you’ve written; or you might want to comment on the blog in general or raise something not covered by a post.
This page gives you the opportunity to do any or all of that; it’s your page, write what you like on it – within the bounds of decency and without defaming anyone.

[...] why I’ve created Your Page (under pages between Archives and Recent Posts on the side bar). It gives you the opportunity [...]
Just realised we were not linking to you – many apologies as I read your blog a lot and it is worth linking to.
Rectifying that now – keep up the good work.
Madeleine – no need to apologise, you can’t link to every blog and I hadn’t linked to yours either (but I’ll rectify that now).
Is there a homepaddock email address?

Enjoy your blog very much. My blog has some rural undertones, greatpoetrymhf.wordpress.com
Enjoy your blog. My focus is on a critical look at the greens…haven’t gone back into the archives but just see the one post on organics. Hoping for more and invite you to take a look at mickysmuses.blogspot.com. Ta.
Several years ago I cut out this cartoon showing a guy with huge eyes—It was a direct on hit what was in my life at the time– workplace tretchery– and my position to it. I just remembered the cartoon in the last day or so and am glad to track down at least the text. How do I get the picture? Oh, it is still so funny. I believe it didn’t survive for my cartoons folder only because it became so tattered….

I have a sneaky feeling that Fonterra buys palm oil and uses it for blending into other products.
Anybody would think I am a Green Peace fan! Yeah Right.
Cheers.

Enjoy it? Swinestein I love it, thanks.
Ele do you know Maori or anyone who does – I need something translated fairly quickly.
You have my Email can you let me know if you can help

Greetings HP – mid last week I sent a personal email to you about Argentina. As I have not received any reply I suspect you did not receive it. Will you please confirm and I will send again – I will check here or you can email me direct to the address you ask for with these posts.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ele! A friend in NZ told me about your piece on National Radio today, and the nice things you said about my blog. I’ve listened to it, and I thought that you got my political positions just right – left, but moderately so, and feminist, but not as stroppy as Cactus Kate and Roar Prawn.
I really appreciate the things you said, and your kindness in saying them.
Fonterra want Southland to upgrade it’s power supply, saying that unless it’s done and done soon, the rivers will run white with dumped milk.
“The plant is run by coal and electricity, but needs both in unison to dry the milk into powder and to run such things as the computers and machines”
“Fonterras submission says the upgrade to the power grid is necessary to protect against the potential environmental impact of dumping milk during a power outage”
Fonterra, with their high standards of environmental stewardship clearly care deeply about polluting. It’s a shame that their own farms and factories are the source of the pollution they want to protect our environment from!
Solid Energy (Coal Corp) throw their weight in too, because they’ll need gobs of power for their Lignite-to-Greenhouse gases plant.
The Times article that reports these ‘developments’ closes by saying,
“A decision on the proposal is expected in the next month and will be final unless a public conference is called for.”

It’s like a graveyard in here Ele!
That’s probably because few people want to comment on things I haven’t posted on, Robert.
What do you think about the Wong/Shipley situation Ele?
Do you think Key’s response is appropriate?
Yes I think his response is appropriate – he wants to have all the facts before commenting.
My view – nothing sinister, it’s only a postal address but if it had been me I would have used another address.
Thanks Ele.
It’ll be very interesting to follow the developments around this, I’m sure.
If anything new turns up, I’ll post my questions/observations here.
Is anyone aware and interested in the new bill about the fore shore and sea bed. RACIAL WAR. That’s all I have to say. Absolute madness. The Beaches and sea belong to all NZ’ers. Having to pay to go for a swim is what National are proposing. Madness. Please protest. Find out the facts and you will be discusted and dis illusioned about the government.
Good grief.. Have the TV on.
An Earthquake of 8.4 to 8.9 has hit Japan. Massive damage.

Congratulations, Ele, on being appointed to the Small Business Development Group. I am sure you will contribute a lot.
However, it was disappointing to see no-one appointed from Dunedin where so many people depend on a small business for their employment.
Thanks Tracey.
Re no representation from Dunedin, I don’t think anyone is representing a particular geographical area. Most businesses in NZ are small to medium and will face similar issues regardless of where they are.
great job here. Just followed you at http://homepaddock.wordpress.com.
Hope you do likewise at http://historyghana.wordpress.com/
THANK YOU

Hi Tiffany,
Thanks for the kind words. I read your post with interest and will put a link to it in today’s rural round-up. I’ve been trying to find more information on what happened and why, there is obviously another side to the story.
Scrapie is a very serious disease. We had TB in our dairy herd several years ago, lots of cows had to be killed, though post mortems on most found they weren’t infected.
