| It's five years tomorrow since the Christchurch Mosque shooting which killed 51 people. We were down in Invercargill (the southern-most city in Aotearoa/New Zealand) and I was in the car when Malcolm came and told me to turn on the radio. I said, "But it's not news time yet," and he said grimly, "This will be on the radio now." I found a site which says (in part): "Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian white supremacist, has been charged with 50 counts of murder and 39 counts of attempted murder in the attacks, although those charges could be amended to reflect the increased death toll." I didn't remember the death toll was so high. And I'm not sure what his motive was (if he had a specific one). |

| Oh dear, I got that wrong and now I can't see how to cancel it. I thought I could but it doesn't seem to have done that. They were 5 years ago but in March.
