And like you Kelly, took me a while to fully see what was happening on the site. By the way, your yarn really is in the post now!!! I hope it arrives soon. :)
whoa! NZ's birth to death ratio is soo far apart comared to other countries... we have such a comparitively slow birth/death rate even compared to Aussie (those root bags!! lol)
