		<title>Dear Simon Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Mr Power,
I am writing to ask you to reconsider your decision to close Te Hurihanga.
I understand that it has taken a long time to set up Te Hurihanga, to gain the support and involvement of its community, and that it is a world-class, evidence-based intervention.
The ostensible grounds for your decision &#8211; the circa six-hundred-thousand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zeitgeist 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is the zeitgeist? What is it here in NZ? What are the best bits, the flames you would like to see fanned? Like in the 60s it was maybe folk music &#8211; that was the thing to be into, the good bleeding edge.

		<title>Questions our rented feijoa tree provoked this morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There are lots of waxeyes hanging around our feijoa tree. The tree is in flower, so I wonder &#8212; are they drinking the nectar and helping pollinate it? There is a family of bumblebees who live in a brick wall at our place, but I don&#8217;t recall seeing them hanging around the feijoa. Can birds [...]]]></description>

		<title>In case you were wondering what to buy me for my birthday, &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; which is on December 17 (every year &#8211; though this one is particularly special as I&#8217;m turning 30), I would like vegetable seedlings, a baby bike seat for my bike (like this), a helmet for Elke, a beard trimmer and some books from my Amazon wishlist (wow, dig the potential erudition in that list).

		<title>A sermon from me on the &#8216;Little Apocalypse&#8217; of Mark 13</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sermon for St Michael’s, Kelburn
Psalm 16:5-11; Daniel 12:1-3; Hebrews 10:11-14,18; Mark 13:24-32
Today I’m going to concentrate on the Gospel reading. It’s difficult material on more than one level. There is a lot of strange stuff about the sun and moon going dark, the stars falling out of the sky, and the Son of Man coming [...]]]></description>
