Thoughts and actions, mostly just thoughts about actions. Don’t worry, I also disappoint myself.

And their policy requires schools to send emails like this, even though all the absences were for school trips that had signed permission slips. We won’t be discussing it any further. Poor schools.

I swatted a fly that landed on my cup. The rest of the fly is in the cup, I don’t think I’ll finish the tea. Not too keen on using the notepad that did the damage either.

I’m looking at my camera roll but feel as confused as I do with those ‘pick all the squares with a motorcycle’ things, like, is this a picture of the sky or a picture with sky in it?
Looking north up Evans Bay on a perfectly still night. Top half of pic is night sky, bottom half is the water in the bay. Running in from each side are the hills of Haitaitai and Mapuia

My ones go cross country to find something to hang off, they can be a couple of metres away on all sorts of random things, even grass stalks which seems kind of high risk. Have got one inside for safe keeping

This is available in NZ, and I’m guessing it’s called ‘Shrek Shrek’ to avoid us being disappointed not to receive a crystal woolly hermit

I could not understand this question at all. Turns out they weren’t talking about musical keyboards. I need a nap.

Aro is pretty sheltered, but I have been out vege shopping and dog walking, so do know it’s extreme.

Absolutely howling in Wellington. Shopping at the waterfront market was like an extreme sport event.

This is as organised as I’ve ever been at this stage on Christmas Eve. Even made the Christmas mince pies.

I have clearly been pronouncing this word wrong, been talking bumkun and not bunkum. Or maybe I just mixed it up with bumpkin 🤷‍♀️

I am distraught. Was extreme weeding the top of my bank and accidentally uncovered a nest of baby birds. Have re-camouflaged it as best I can and retreated to the house. I hope parent birds feel safe enough to come back soon. TW nest full of baby birds, please be ok x

My cat wouldn’t shift off the pillow behind my head and her purring, random licking and lip smacking was keeping me awake. At 2 am I dragged her and the pillow she was on to the other side of the bed, she’s still there. Sound asleep. Bless her.

Cleaned out the spare room and got teen settled in there, got their room emptied ready for the builders to start today. Load to the tip and more to go, and all the ‘to keep’ stuff stashed around the house. Given the state of the underfloor situation, really glad we’ve started. #arovalleyisaswamp
A photo looking into the corner of a room. Floor has been totally removed exposing the ground, which is very close to floor level. You can smell the damp in the picture.

I was up for sunrise on the return trip from Timaru. First proper road trip for me and the dog. She’s the best travelling companion. Happy to be home now.

We had a minor accommodation emergency due to rapidly changing plans but now have a nice warm house bus. Was a little challenging when you’re travelling with three dogs

Look at this gorgeous big bird hoovering its way through the foliage at my place this afternoon
A handsome Kererū (NZ wood pigeon) sitting in green foliage looking a lot like Mr Creosote with a full belly of white plumage that looks a lot like a napkin. The chest above is green melding into a purple head and back.

I just spent far longer than I should have walking the dog in the bush. I normally do this track in the other direction and somehow missed a turn in the near dark. Was properly dark by the time I got down to the road (where the red x is) but very happy not to have fallen down a back.

I redeemed a very ordinary sausage apple and onion casserole with some spiced rice, and won the second half with a yum orange cake. Dinner used up all the old apples and oranges that were sulking on the bench. Love it when a plan comes together.
Slice of orange cake on a white plate with a green edge. Cake topped with yoghurt, a cake fork sits next to the cake.
