🧵Also lovely people, I avoid talking politics because there are people articulating how I feel out there far more eloquently. But if you've followed me for any amount of time, you'll know that my philosophy is kindness first. This gender bill going through NZ parliament is truly horrendous. (1)

I am trying to get in touch with the whānau of Dave Terangi, a Ngāpuhi fella who lived in Margaret St, Papakura. We did some research with Dave, and we know he has since died, but we would like to return a taonga. If anyone knows his whānau, pls DM me. Also Pls retweet (so to speak).

Now we have a beginning. It turns here. If not, then it does not matter how good/bad Bluesky is/was So give it all from now, and if you already gave, then rest and know the next person will give what they can. This is the starting gun! (If you needed it) Let's go! #NZpol

Shout out to my talented 10yo nephew who has started drawing trees and selling them to family for extra pocket money

Vege planter prepped for summer: 10 pea seedlings, 4 heritage tomato seedlings, corn and beetroot sown in front. Space for up to 6 pumpkins to trail over the front when germinated, and melons are sown directly into compost around to the side out of shot 🌱 #gardening #gardensky
An unglamorous, but spacious raised vege bed. A few forlorn looking seedlings appear on the edge around bare earth covered with wire netting. In the background is a deck with a comfy-looking outdoor couch, which, alas, is usually annexed by the cats. There is assorted gardening accoutrements cluttering the general area.

I just realised that @brimleyline.bsky.social is on bluesky, and that I passed that venerable milstone October last year! Right between Christian Bale and Elizabeth Banks. I think we're all doing quite well for such agéd folks, if I do say so myself.

A cat, the most elegant of creatures, enjoying some crisp winter morning sun.
A shorthair cameo tortie slouching in the sun on a wooden step like an elderly uncle. She has her hind legs splayed so her saggy, but enjoyably soft, belly can absorb as much warmth as possible. She does not really display the grace and elegance one might expect of a cat. Mind you, she has the hardware of a tortoiseshell but seems to run on ginger software.

Had vanilla mascapone icing left after the school bake-sale, so I made the chocolate cake from @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.socialmbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social Color Taste Texture to help use it up! Some neighbours came to help us with eating it and loved it too.
Half a luscious moist chocolate cake with creamy white icing. It was so tempting that I forgot to take a photo until after it was already being eaten.A boy in 1/4 profile, sitting on a black leather couch, an almost empty plate beside him. He is holding a small chunk of cake in his left hand and preparing to get a bit of icing with his right forefinger, so as to lick it off.

I very rarely remember my dreams. Last night I dreamed of making bread, which I have not done for years. So this morning I made focaccia.
A cut loaf of focaccia bread on a wooden tray, a japanese bread knife beside it. The bread is topped with rosemary and rock salt and has a finer crumb than usual, as I kneaded it a bit before letting it rise in the pan.

I know things are grim, so a small timeline cleanse for the few who will see this. It's a beautiful day in Ahuriri-Napier, and things can still feel hopeful.
