Wow, that's a beautiful piece of art that really captures the cat's personality!

It is gorgeous. Most of the time. Unless there's a wind coming straight off Antarctica and freezing cold rain down the back of your neck, and your house is uninsulated because it's deemed a "heritage building". That's Shitsville.

Meanwhile, I'm here in Wellington, NZ, where it's spring. Usually at this time of the year, we're going through a season known as Shitsville, with constant cold winds and rain. It lasts from mid-Sep to mid-Oct. It's become a running joke. This year? Shitsville didn't happen. It's unsettling.

Oh yeah. They absolutely knew, and they're milking the Streisand effect for all its worth.

I live near 2 major supermarkets. Mostly, I tend to do my major grocery shopping once a week at one supermarket, then go to the other one for bits I missed. It all has to fit into two reusable shopping bags, though, so no bulk purchases!

There's a Rennie billboard on the fence of a house at the bottom of Russell Tce, just up from the roundabout, fwiw. It's just uphill from a billboard for JAG. I guess it's neighbours trying to one-up each other?

That's a "drive to the conditions" road if I ever saw one. Is that the bit just after the information centre, on the way to Waikareiti?

I'm going to assume they're talking about SI units of measurement. It's about time that the US embraced the metric system!

They beat up a friend of mine there in the mid-90s because they reckoned he "looked gay". He wasn't. They didn't care.

The bit above where Karo Drive is now, up to Webb St. I think there was a skin house on Arthur St or Tonks Ave? Somewhere near there.

Didn't he write "Came a Hot Friday"? Or at least, I'm pretty sure he wrote the book it was based on...

My understanding (admittedly from reading Regency romances) was the opposite: pants were tight, knee-length, and worn with hose and high-cut boots. Valets existed chiefly to help gentlemen into their clothing because it was often so tight they couldn't dress themselves. Jackets too!

A screenshot of the current weather conditions in Newtown, Wellington. Apparently it's raining heavily with a 22km/hr southerly breeze.A photo of the actual current conditions in Newtown, taken from my balcony. A mostly blue sky with a few small clouds, and no wind to speak of. Basically just a lovely spring day.

I remember making my own masks with a handkerchief and a couple of hair ties for ear loops. They were utterly useless, but it was what we had before regular masks were available.

This also happens when the cars coming the opposite direction have stopped for me. You'd think that even if they didn't see a pedestrian, they'd see another car. But no! No stop, only vroom. What's worse is that this is a crossing less than 100m from a school.
010
bekitty @bekitty.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
This happens to me repeatedly on my way home from work in Wellington. The raised crossing is directly after (or before) a roundabout, and drivers just keep going. I've taken to carrying a flashing light and clearly signalling with it when I want to cross. Only works half the time.

Tent was not delivered because the courier didn't know how to ring my doorbell. It is going to be delivered tomorrow morning. Hopefully.

And just like that, my tent has been scanned. And it's in Newtown!

bekitty @bekitty.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Mentally contrasting this with the experience I had with my last online transaction, a watch strap from Equipo. They were fantastic: prompt delivery, and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Equipo if you're in NZ and need a watch strap.

The Post Haste courier who picked up my tent in Hamilton scanned the pickup and nothing else. It's a $500 tent. Why can't I see where it is in the system? I should have it by now. Fuming. 🤬

Oh, and it's one of the "gifts" that continues after menopause! Which is absolutely shite.

bekitty @bekitty.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
uh 👆 just a quick note: throwing up and then immediately feeling better is one of the symptoms of perimenopause. It's related to morning sickness, and is a sign of progesterone imbalance. So you might not actually have what the Limpet had!

Right? I work in a thrift store. AI can't replace me, nor can it "augment" my role in any way. I also issue and count ballot papers during elections. The way AI hallucinates things, it absolutely can't be trusted with anything to do with our electoral system. So I think I'm pretty safe there too.
