Fishwick Papers: The "Bucati cheaper than Bucatini" edition

Good evening paperinos and paperinas,I continue to write to you from the New Zealand lockdown. I've been keeping busy doing little patches of work (including on the New Zealand Improv Festival, which is a dream), in amongst doing weeding on the in-laws' farm. There's a particularly tricky combination of Tradescantia and Jerusalem Cherry that work hand-in-hand to resist being removed easily. But once you do get them out, there are lots of tiny saplings of beautiful native trees, which I get quite emotional about.Anyhow. Here are some links, new and old, that I'm very excited to share with you

Questions to chew on
