Meanwhile start to mix tzatziki
Step 4. Place Salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on one side for about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired. About 3 minutes more.

always thinking of leadership - actually practising copy and paste

If you want to build a ship,

don't drum up the people

to gather wood, divide the work

and give orders.

Instead, teach them to yearn

for the vast and endless sea.

Real estate agents have an unearned power to drive our community.
"House for sale in "......" school zone" I have read this often enough that I think one school in Havelock must be better than another. What qualifications do they have to measure a school?
"House in Havelock at a Hastings price." WHAT!
These people are setting our social circles and they have no qualifications for it.

TVone breakfast show. This programme is on in my house - I think because we will keep up with the latest happenings in NZ. But these presenters comment or make a facial expression that sets the standard of thinking. They practice 'put downs'. The put downs are of people who are different to them. When pulled up on it - they make a joke - which lets them off. How clever is that?
