Just booked my first shingles vaccination. It's not cheap but too many people my age or younger have had shingles and it sounds just awful. So if you've posted recently about your painful encounters with shingles, thanks for the push!

I really want to take The Ghan train trip in Australia and looking at the Rugby World Cup 2027 schedule I think I can do both on one trip. At least a few of the matches anyway.

My lawn bowls club officially opens for the season this weekend and tonight was the first coaching session. Glad to get back on the green.

I first encountered Taskmaster when I moved to NZ and was staying in an AirBnB with dodgy internet so my entertainment was just from regular tv. Scrolling through the channels I landed on Taskmaster and had absolutely no idea what was going on but couldn’t change the channel. Brilliant show.

Bought a Kobo and am getting ready to make it rain with library ebooks. I'm an OG Kindle owner but with my Kindle on its last legs and Amazon being an actively evil company figured it was time to switch.

Settling in for the 2nd game of the Os doubleheader with brunch. Toasted and buttered whole grain sourdough topped with avocado, crispy bacon, and feta cheese and fried eggs, chives, and Kaitaia fire hot sauce to finish. And all sprinkled with lime juice. Yummmmmm. Let’s go Os!

The low pressure / low flow showers at my pool are awful. Signs around the locker room tell us to take shorter showers to save water but I have to take twice as long than at home just to sort of rinse all the shampoo from my very short, fine hair. The worst!

I ran this morning and my feelings were a little hurt that my watch didn’t give me an Attagirl for improving my time. No worry, 13 hours later I got my kudos. Better late than never!

I worked at an airport and the day after the 9/11 attacks we came back to work to sit around an eerily silent break room not really knowing what to do since all the flights were grounded. An ignorant asshole coworker came into the room and charged at a Muslim coworker yelling "Your people did this!"

Watching an episode of Newsradio and the opening sequence has shots of the World Trade Center. Scenes like this are always a gut hit but today it's more like a knockout punch.

There's got to be a better system than making credit cards so secure that they get declined even after putting in the code from the 2FA. Had to call the bank and I was asked "Did you try to make this payment against your will?" "FFS, no, I was just trying to pay my insurance."

I knew my O's pajama pants were on their last legs but when I pulled them up and my hand ripped a hole in them I had to put them out to pasture. I saved the Oriole bird patch though and sewed it on my backpack. It goes well with my Fighting Kiwi flag patch.

Since 2003, an anonymous "grammar vigilante" in Bristol has been correcting misplaced apostrophes on shop signs and street signs at night. He uses a long-handled tool called the "apostrophiser" to reach high signs and fix errors like "Amy's Nail's" and "Cambridge Motor's". By day, he is a mild-mannered engineer who considers his work a cause worth pursuing.

Nice little jolt to start the morning. I think I prefer earthquakes like that- while I'm sleeping and too confused to know what's going on/be scared. Deanie knew though, she went flying straight out the window. Smart cat.

Plug-in solar panels attach to your balcony or deck and plug straight into the wall, saving households up to $350 a year. Because they are 100% portable when you move, they are perfect for renters - so why are they still illegal in New Zealand?

I got to see a 17 day old kiwi chick today!! It’s her/his (sex hasn’t been determined yet) last day of getting hand fed because it’s put on weight and can feed itself from now on. So lucky this was the day I chose to visit Pūhaka.
