Auckland pals - do you have any recs for a physiotherapist (preferably in central Auckland but anywhere that is easily accessible with public transport is fine) I'm wondering if it will help with my foot pain because it gets better then worse and it is exhausting.

Was off work with a cold for most of this week (feeling a lot better now thankfully) I ran out of sick leave in April so had to use my annual leave. Which I do have a lot of because I haven't taken a real holiday this year. I should probably do that.

Pretty sure this guy is now working the same charity stand at the mall I work at because there's a guy who keeps making weird comments about friendliness at me & my work bestie as we walk past on our lunch break. The audacity that he does it every single time. No man we are not going to talk to you

I got a new tattoo at the end of May - this adorable little sparrow by @amandajtoner.bsky.social who has been on my dream tattooer list for a while. Tattoo number twenty-one. My Mum tells me I'm not allowed any more. I told her that I'm 40, I can do what I want (within reason)

Took today off work (even though I don't have any remaining sick leave) because I caught the cold my partner had and I felt awful. Usually it is me getting a cold and passing it on to my partner.

I can't remember what charity, wasn't one I automatically recognised though I've seen them at the mall I work at too.

Kirsty @alkalinekiwi.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Had a guy at one of those charity stands at the mall tell me I looked so unfriendly this morning. I was polite but I guess I gave off please don't engage me in conversation vibes. I usually have headphones on when I'm out and about, today I didn't and get called unfriendly.

Not a great photo but I was super stoked to see the swan babies today on the way to work. Also bonus magpie photo
A black swan surrounded by some lil swan babies on the lake. The photo is very zoomed in because they were quite far away from the bridge. A magpie on a wooden bench thing

10 years of fucking awesome art from a top notch human. I remember the first time I met Pepper in person, @rabble.bsky.social and I were fangirling so much! Pepper's tees have constant rotation in my outfits and I look forward to snuggling into this hoodie in colder months.
