@sundogplanets Out of all the things I saw in NZ the kauri trees had the most impact. I stood in wonder. I swear they're sentient..

@Jgbird I've really enjoyed your photos, particularly this week. I don't know how you cope living in the US at the moment. But please know that there are many many of us outside the US who feel dreadful for what the decent people in your country are going through. However be assured we feel nothing but contempt and derision for those that put you in that position, by the way they voted. They can't say they didn't know. It was blindingly obvious. To go from Obama and Biden to this, x2. Shakeshead

@suearcher @kitten_tech @afewbugs As a lawyer I can tell you that the IT "designers" used by the courts, CPS, solicitors and counsel, have no idea how any of us work, what information we need and in what form.
I used to be handed all the papers at court for the cases I was dealing (up to 15+) could scan them, hand them to clients to read, and go back and take instructions. Easy. Now we get it on line at court (eventually). I can't pass my laptop over can I..FFS.

@CiaraNi Thanks. I run scared of posting photos on here due to the expectation of Alt text. However many people like you and @georgepenney turn it into an art form often as good as or better than the photo.
So when I do post an image I try really hard to emulate those standards.

@CiaraNi Brilliant photo. Please can I mention that Judges have not worn long wigs in court for decades. They are only ever worn on ceremonial occasions. Even that perpetuates the anachronism. Blasted TV films etc.
