Getting up for the gym only having to cancel because you can't find your trainers after a weekend at the beach. Being woken in the night to rodents having moved in, to the ceiling cavity, whilst you were away.

Things that have broken today, my hair grip as I was putting my hair up, my flip flop whilst wearing and away from the house and the spray action on some iodine as I was trying to use it. 🙄 Good start 🤦

What's up with the right wing focusing only on things no one asked them any help with (because they're clueless or just none of their damn business) and completely ignoring those who actually need help and ask? Stop interfering with people's hormone medication ffs! Start dealing with cost of food.

Watching the US results coming in is giving hope... Add the Greens making headway in the UK, I just need the left leaning block to get their ducks in a row here (Lux & Co need to go ASAP)... A Green led left block would be my preference, got a lot of crap from this lot to undo. #NZpol

Had a lovely day. Got brunch, did a bit of op shopping, saw Primeminister (very good, just heart breaking), Asian supermarket shop, pick kids up and home via chemist for prescription. Lovely sunny day too boot. I have not absorbed any news today. Date day with a friend. Highly recommended.

If anyone needs a reminder, starving people is bad, killing is bad, kidnapping people is bad, not having enough to put food on the table and pay essentials is bad, getting into dept (especially for healthcare) is bad. 1/3

Nick, from our last clutch of free range, broody hatched, chicks. At a few weeks old, they got stuck & ripping the neck. Found, almost passed. Deliberating dispatching, I had an idea to stitch the skin together. Clean needle, cotten and vasaline...WORKED. This is Nick (nearly headless) now.
Young black chicken chick, on a towel in a box with food and water to recover. Beautiful black rooster, with red coomb and wottle, blond highlighted neck and wing feathers, inky green tail feathers.

#NZpol Local council elections. Buzzwords that are feeling very 🚩 "common sense" "rates cap" - especially with no plan to fix problems "Back to basics" (code for cutting libraries etc) "Try something new"

I could never be an MP... The "Decorum" rubbish in parliament is preventing people calling BS and stopping people listening to what is being said. Just trying to "gotcha" on words. Blooming rediculious. Civility is an excuse to not listen. #NZPOL
