I've enjoyed the newsletters Hamish and appreciate the effort that's gone into them.

The constant reminders of great old Dunedin sound has been a real highlight too.

Go well!

Thanks Hamish! I seriously recommend you DO NOT end The Mish, it's a great archive of news stories, and much better at a chronological archive than the trad social media. What about updating once a month? Or just when a big story breaks? Love your work. Martin.

A good read Hamish. Credit where credit due.

But do you not think that Sophie resigning as Deputy Mayor might also be related to her BF's run for Dunedin?

Unrelated, me thinks.

I'm not so sure. But the Middlemarch guy should have resigned. Poor that he hasn't.
