40+ volunteers came door knocking with me yesterday in 13.6mm of rain. I’m good at my job but not that good. That’s how much people want something different.

Also, wow! International political trends replicate in NZ when parties fail to pivot from incrementalism in the face of growing pain of the masses. Shocked! I am so shocked!

Hello 👋 yeah hi, I have worked on a couple of campaigns now and I have said on loop, the energy out on the doors and on the phones with people is very 2017. People want change, they just have to believe in it. So need someone to strike the match to set it all alight.

Even more relevant given most recent polls

Oh hey, it's me! 👍😐👍 but for real, volunteering for the Greens is so fun - you can do a little or a lot (you make the call), there's always something to do (on the front lines or behind the scenes), and the vibes are immaculate!

Yesterday, I had the weirdest day. - no sleep cause my body clock woke me up for the Black Ferns kick off - no sleep cause daylight savings pinched an hour - no sleep cause the police then door knocked me at 6am to tell me my car had been stolen

If your live in Pōneke, you know how miserable the weather was yesterday. These legends knocked on 1170 doors anyway.

THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE!! With daylight savings kicking in overnight there is no 2am. So if you're planning on setting your alarm to watch the Black Ferns play the Red Roses live, here's your alarm schedule.

A list of alarms set.

1.30am will let you watch the build up.
1.50am and you’ll catch the haka.
3.00am and you’ll get the kick off

Bailey is away and so I am making myself dinner, while drinking a whisky and dancing in the kitchen. And I am never happier than in this exact state

I found two brilliant double breasted NZ made vintage coats today. One of a bold burnt orange and the other new wool which is at least 40+ years old and still in perfect condition.

There is no issue on which I feel quite as out of step with the general public than that of paid parking. I actually like it? So long as it isn’t gougey it means that I’m actually more likely to get a park when I’m driving somewhere.

What have you done @xkaosmagex.bsky.social! Or maybe I blame @toa5tnz.bsky.social? Or maybe it’s just me!

Read alllll of it. Now. "If they pivot away from the current Super Rugby format, where does that leave Aupiki? And what about it's feeder, the FPC?

The Black Ferns are playing the England this week and my podcast co-host is sick! My back ups were unavailable! So I ended up recording an hour solo explaining why I think we have a good chance to put on a show at Twickenham. youtu.be/CZ063GHJMtY?...

You know what sucks about all the coverage on this rugby summit to debate the future of the NPC and Super? Wherever they land will ultimately have a direct flow on to the structure of the women’s game but we aren’t even a part of any of the conversation I’ve seen.

Years ago, I saw Jordan on tinder and nearly all of his photos were screenshots of him on TV. Embarrassing.

I’m zooming into all your Hager launch photos to play spot my volunteers 🙂

Finally catching the Black Ferns replay and the camera work in this game is traaaash. That reply of the third try, every pass was out of frame. Such a disservice to the quality of performance.

If you haven’t, watch the Canada England game. It is SUCH fun. Particularly if you’re a third party and can just enjoy the footy without any of the stress.

With most of Bailey’s extended whānau living up the coast we are often asked, why don’t you move to Kāpiti? And then every time I’m there folks look at me like I have a third head. Not even shy about it. Will turn to stare so that’s a hard no thanks.

Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve driven around that curve of the motorway into Wellington, I am struck every time by what a gorgeous city it is.

So that Green supermarket policy must have gone down very well with certain focus groups huh

A player I had the privilege of having on our team here in Wainuiomata has just been named as a finalist for the Rookie of the year in the NRLW! We all knew Fanua Rimoni would be great! Everyone was asking last season, where is she??? Impatient to see her as she was developing in the feeder comp.

Congratulations to Arene and everyone who subscribes to my newsletter who gets to read my educated guesses.

Auckland gets the CRL meanwhile I submit yet another plea for local public transport to service my community. I am more hopeful this time as the options put forward may actually bring back some of the connectivity we had 10 years ago.

Sitting by the river behind our house, bird watching. We saw kererū, piwaiwaka, pūkeko and tauhou all flitting about.

I have a funny relationship with eggs. My mood entirely dictates whether I like them or not. I was in the mood today for sage scrambled and I remember why Bailey always asks me to make these.

Sunshine beams of some happy yellow eggs. With fried sage on top.

Okay so episode six and I’m thinking I now need to do a comparison of this season of Ted Lasso and the first season for how many minutes the players spend on screen. Cause it feels like they are doing everything BUT helping us build a connection with the individuals within the women’s team.

The worst part of last night is being reported as a “labour supporter” in the RNZ coverage 😂 Look, I’ll put up with a Labour Prime Minister but I resigned that membership aaaaages ago.

Also shoutout to my wee mum who also jumped up and tried to cover the camera of one of these jerks. She’s little tough guy and where I get my fight.

Went to this as Tam’s campaign manager. Ended up having to be part of an escort for Ayesha. You expect heckles but not harassment at these things. Just yuck for everyone involved.
