#kai I did have a little fishy, eight in fact, and not so much on a little dishy as on toast with avocado, preserved lemon and black pepper. And they were mighty fine.

Sardines tidily lined up on two pieces of avocado toast. Said toast tidily set upon a plate and accompanied by cherry tomatoes and sliced radish.

#kai A hasty, tasty lunch of palak paneer soup and toast with hummus, tomato and chilli, and avocado, sardines and chilli.

A bowl of murky green spiced spinach soup and a plate holding two generously topped pieces of toast , one with hummus and glossy red tomatoes, the other with avocado and sardines. And yes, almost everything is daubed with Laoganma chilli crisp. What of it?

A heap of green leaves, avocado and quartered pigeon heart tomatoes topped with with proper kūmara, braised chicken and a fiery sweet lime and gochujang sauce. Seriously and simply delicious.

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

Sharon Murdoch’s cartoon in today’s Post. Headlined The Impresario, its first frame shows a caricature of Louise Upston saying she can’t pull money out of thin air to support local performers and events. The second larger frame shiws her surrounded bye a tornado of found shows her surrounded by a tornado of paper money. The first bubble has her saying the money for big overseas acts didn’t come out of thin air. The second bubble says the $40 mill came out the wazoo. I defy you not to snort.

On this day in 1893 Women in NZ won their right to vote. A first in the world event In 2026 the Minister for women says "the suffragists had campaigned for more than the right to vote, including greater opportunity, dignity and fairness." And yet her govt cancelled all pay equity claims. #nzpol

🧶🇳🇿 Isabelle Kraemer’s ‘caramel’ has been on my to-knit list for a decade. At least. Today, I can tick it off. Knitted in Rowan Felted Tweed DK (which is not really a DK at all, but that’s another conversation). And, yes, a lot of ends have yet to be darned in.

A striped hand-knit cardigan in a tweedy yarn is pinned into shape on foam play mats. The colours are dark blue-grey, pale blue (duck-eggish), marron, a blue-green, camel and a fresh bright green in a shade I think of as spruce or maybe rimu.

Let's be really clear: Paul Goldsmith asked MoJ to find him cost justifications to restrict the OIA. They've done so. The numbers are largely bogus - inflating numbers of *recorded* OIA requests. A serious assault on our right to information MOJ advice: www.justice.govt.nz/assets/Docum... #nzpol

*sigh* could we please stop thinking that every solution is more police? Because it’s genuinely not. There are lots of situations in peace keeping & law enforcement where a police presence has the opposite effect. Not to mention alienating vulnerable & minority … www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Maybe instead of querying knitting we could, I don’t know, query NZ First candidates spreading misinformation about abortion and, I don’t know, query NZ First about their policy positions, and I don’t know, ensure that those who think it’s okay to use their platform to do this are held to account.
