My life in my bag

There's a competition with Eco Store just now, that asks you to share the contents of your bag.

Hmm...I liked this idea, but I had to be selective:

So here is my bag, and my bits n bobs. (selected carefully, of course).

 Cambridge Satchel
Contents: Orla Kiely notebook, Catherine Manuell purse, Typo geo notebook, Ray Ban glasses, business cards, shorthand pad, enchanted wooden pen, my own design geo beads.

Other items that didn't meet the grade: half-eaten pack of chewing gum, old & leaking lip gloss, a receipt that holds old chewing gum, 40 cents in loose change, an old paper napkin, leaking pen without lid.

What do you have in your bag?

Ban them. End of Story.

When animal lovers from our city joined together to march for animals, I am sure the government could not have predicted just how many people would brave the chill and traffic cordons to speak for the animals.

Groups of people from Kerikeri to Invercargill gathered to fight for the rights animals through marches organised by animal group HUHA.

The Christchurch event which attracted more than 900 people and dogs started at the base of ruined Christ Church Cathedral in the square.
Most brought their own placards, dressed in animal attire, brought their four-legged friends and screamed at the top of their lungs protesting against the proposed "safety" testing of synthetic "highs" on animals.
Weaving its way up Colombo Street towards the office of National MP Nicky Wagner, who was unfortunately in Wellington, the march gained a few supporters, including that of the local constabulary.

Here are some of the photographs from today.


























 The local constabulary even got our support!
