ALL CREATURES

I RESCUED mice from a house and asked the RSPCA if it could take them. “No,” they said. “They smell, we already have one here, that’s enough”. Di Rowley Claremont

CLOUDY DAZE

WHO would have thought Cloudy Bay would have a slower internet speed than Sydney? I’ll bet you can’t even get a decent almond chai latte in walking distance of home. It’s a disgrace.

SHOW SOME HEART

MINISTER Roger Jaensch described vandalism of the Truganini memorial on Bruny as ”disappoint­ing and unacceptab­le.” The bland word “unacceptab­le” is used to describe events that range from mildly offensive to abhorrent. The disfigurin­g of Truganini’s monument is in the latter range. Could MPs be more emotionall­y descriptiv­e about really offensive events. Nancy Tunbridge Geilston Bay
