I think you are absolutely right Belinda, Hayley would enjoy the day just mingling with the crowd, being lost in it, if that is possible for her in Christchurch and just being 'one of the gang', an experience I think may be one of those experiences she reluctantly has to give up, following the path she does.

Hi Peter, I certainly think she would give it a go at walking amongst the Masses,why be imprisoned in your house just because someone may want to say hi, I'd certainly let her be if i saw her in the street maybe smile and say hi,but leave it to her if she wanted to talk as i don't like to bother people unless its their choice to speak. Know matter how much I'd like too. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBelinda |

I've borne it in mind that were I to bump into her in a London Park I would acknowledge her with a 'Hi!' and, depending upon the distance with which one encountered her, leave it at that, or if close enough to strike up a conversation open with a 'You're in private time, if you'd rather I didn't chat, fine I'll leave you be'. If one has something worth saying I'd suspect she'd be happy to chat as a passing moment, provided one didn't hog her and if I didn't have anything intelligent to say I wouldn't even begin. Peter |

Hi Peter, Belinda and all! I don't think I'd say that because Hayley would probably be too far polite to say she'd rather not chat. I'd do what Belinda said. Cheers, Dave |

Cheers, Dave Perhaps I presume to think she might have felt comfortable enough to be frank--she's very good at making her point without giving offence, but you are probably right, Dave. The key is to be alert so one never puts her in a position where she might feel embarrassed or cornered however unintentionally. Peter |

HI , OMG my daughter brought home one of the new 50 cent pieces they are tiny compared to the ones we have now,  They are about the same size as the 10 cent piece we have now i guess it's kinda cute, But all i could say when i saw it was thats really pathetic The other coins are going to be smaller than that, i think they have made a big mistake, But i guess they thought shrink the money and save money.

What a lovely response, Belinda. I'm sure Hayley's picked the right time. Sounds great. I wonder if hayley is a 'tween sewason's person as I am? Preferring spring and autumn to winter and summer? and dawn and evening to miodday and night? Does anyone know? Peter |

Well last week i had armed police climbing over my fence ,Haha No they were not after me  now this week more excitement. Booming meteor startles the south 13 September 2006 A meteor that sped across the sky above Canterbury yesterday was probably no bigger than a basketball. It caused a huge sonic boom about 3pm. Descriptions of the sound suggested it was travelling about 60 kilometres above the ground, according to Alan Gilmore, resident superintendent of the University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory. But he dismissed suggestions that it could have landed in a paddock. Travelling at a speed of about 40,000km/h, it would have burnt up in a "terminal fireball" long before hitting the ground, he said. "The stress on the rock is so intense that it just goes flash and breaks up into a ball of smoke or fire." Meteors travelled so fast that often witnesses were tricked into thinking they had seen them land, he said. It would have broken through the atmosphere at between 10 and 20 kilometres a second. The thicker air closer to earth could have slowed it down to about 40,000km/h, Mr Gilmore said. It was this rapid deceleration that often caused meteors to break up. He said he would be surprised if the meteor had been bigger than a basketball. It was an exciting, if not rare, event. Meteors low and bright enough to be seen by New Zealanders during the day happened once every three to four years. "If this had happened at night, it would have lit up the whole countryside," he said. "But if it had come down, I think we would have been receiving reports of it by now." It was "particularly exciting" for those who had heard the sonic boom, which in some places had rattled windows and doors, he said. GNS Science reported that both surface and sound waves were detected at two recording sites – on Cashmere Hills, and McQueens Valley on Banks Peninsula. The instruments showed the disturbance was not caused by an earthquake, and was more consistent with an object flying across Canterbury from a northwesterly direction at greater than the speed of sound. An air force spokesman said none of its aircraft were responsible – none of the current fleet went fast enough to create a sonic boom. Kevin Graham, garage workshop owner in Rolleston – 22km southwest of Christchurch – said that when he heard the boom his first thought was it was a September 11 anniversary attack. His wife, at Addington, had run outside "because she thought the stand was going to collapse. And I ran outside because I thought my place was going to collapse as well". Mr Graham said he could feel the shock waves in the air so thought it was close, but a truck driver had reported seeing a meteorite fall into a paddock at Hinds, 19km southwest of Ashburton. The sound had been like a cng tank exploding, Mr Graham said. "It started off with a little boom then a real massive boom. And I mean massive – like the daddy of all booms." The noise was so loud it shook the garage, he said. "I was wondering what happened and I thought `Oh, September 12', because we're a day ahead of the States |

A meteor that sped across the sky above Canterbury yesterday was probably no bigger than a basketball.... It must have been in recognition of Hayley's *meteoric* rise!  Well, someone had to say it! Roger |
