There are people out there that pay taxes and then want you to return the money instead of using it to treat children’s cancer and society tells me I need to take these people seriously and listen to their opinions 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Had to retake interview video because Freya decided to enter the room via the outside window, having been shut out from inside access because I closed the door.

Got to try the new CRL bit of the Auckland's train system yesterday - so cool, feels like a real city. Also, so busy! School holidays obvs but lots of people using it.

I have to record a video pre-interview thing and I don't wanna. Any tips for doing a good one?

youtube.com/watch?v=Ntzv... interesting - although I don't find the WX1 bus that bad, but because it hasn't got the dedicated bus lane you do end up being traffic..

Freya kitty was discovered on top of my seed trays, under the plastic cover I'd laid over them. I have the heat pad under the seeds to encourage sprouting, but APPARENTLY she likes to warm them from the top 🫠

from memory, my slow cooker manual recommends doing beans and lentils on the high setting for a period of time before turning to the lower setting. :-) (My slow cooker has 3 settings, slow, high and keep warm).

Recent make, Megan Nielsen Tania culottes in a linen print I've had in my stash for a while. I like the longer length version of these, and they have great pockets. #sewing #nzcraft 🇳🇿

Set up a new vege garden on the weekend,and now I can't stop thinking about what to plant. #spring #GrowYourOwn

No dig garden established along a fence line. Its covered in pea straw, and the sun is shinning on the fence making it a lovely yellow colour.

I'm 53 and there are good things about being in your fifties too. But I hear your concern. Life doesn't always take us down the paths we thought when we were young dreamers. (I say that with affection for the young dreamer).

THIS. And don't even get me started on the long and squalid history of policing solo mothers who, heavens forfend, might occasionally go out for an evening with a MAN and get laid at some point. Wanton bludging Jezebels!

Got a message from former staff member that they've got engaged, sending photos of them both in a very romantic spot. So much bad stuff in the world it was lovely to hear of two people in love and wanting to make a go of it together. Hunt the good.

Most days I can be patient with people's digital illiteracy. Today is not that day. The reason you have the header/footer option open on your document is because you pressed that button you fool. Not because there is some gremlin inside the computer trying to sabotage your Word document.
