I wouldn’t let Sue Grey anywhere near my ballot choices.

Heaters back on. It’s all my fault for getting my summer skirts down from the top of the wardrobe on Thursday. To say nothing of switching to the summer weight duvet as well.

Blue-greens are just people who like nice murals of native birds in the foyers of private hospitals.

I see it is only going to drop to about 17 during our night, so time to switch to the summer duvet or I will never get to sleep...

To be honest, I gave my party vote to the Greens last time, but since then there have been various issues with people on their list. So though I might like their policies, I am not convinced about their candidates.

Glad you got your class lists done. Hope the other computer issues aren’t too hard to sort.

People laugh when I tell them my Irish ancestors are from all across Ireland- but here you go- Donegal is the only area missing. And finally Switzerland gets a look in.

Drug testing has (by design) captured all the attention, but it's nowhere near the worst bit. For more than 30 years, benefit levels have been kept lower than the cost of staying alive. On purpose. Campaigning on the back of cutting them even further is monstrous. The cruelty is the point.

I’m really enjoying it. I like her writing style and her content is quite varied.

And in my defence I have to read this book now as it’s quite a tome and otherwise I won’t have finished it before it’s due back to the library!

Still in nighty reading Turi King’s book. Doorbell rang. Expected JWs. Instead it was three gorgeous wee boys selling chocolate. I don’t usually buy such things but couldn’t resist these wee boys!

It's a particularly toxic part of NZ's politics. Those who are the most staunch defenders of policies that force people into unemployment to control inflation are also those who constantly attack the unemployed.

I am on a roll here- another Malone genealogy blog post, though this one has more questions than certainty. kiwinomadancestors.blogspot.com/2026/10/is-t...

kiwinomadancestors.blogspot.com

Is this Patrick Malone 'ours'?

Kiwi Nomad @kiwinomad06.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

In the end I think I need to obtain a death registration printout for Patrick in case it names his parents- though I suspect as he was in his 90s they might be 'unknown'.

Looking for more info about Patrick Malone of Darfield, in case he is related to my Ballinadrideen Malones. Found his wife's funeral notice- sad as she was only 32 and left 6 young children behind- but it doesn't give her name. She's just Patrick's "late wife".

Finally we know for sure where her natural home really is.

Haha I have finally lost Wales. Not that I don’t like Wales but it made no sense. I finally have Switzerland which makes me happy.

Kiwi Nomad @kiwinomad06.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

My Ancestry origins update makes a lot more sense. I have gained Switzerland- finally- yeah! And gained back Scotland which I never should have lost, and lost Wales which made no sense to me!

I’m about to head out into my garden for some well overdue weeding on what seems like about the third day of summer. But I am sure this will be Fake Summer #1 and more winter will come back.

I had a scam payment charged to my credit card a few months back, for something Amazon. I was able to confidently tell the bank it certainly wasn’t me - hadn’t bought anything there for years.

A now so-sub offering it’s barely worth the newspaper name. I wonder how long until they kill it off. Sad end.

I was a munchkin when I was about 9 in a local theatre production of the Wizard of Oz. There were some scary trees in it. I didn't have to act scared when I walked through them on stage- I was terrified. Even though I knew they were kind offstage!

Yes I was reading it was very popular. The museum in Bayeux was hardly busy at all. I was cycling in the Loire but caught a train to Bayeux. It was a heat wave but the museum was deliciously cool!

The worst thing about all this racist stuff is that they do it because it works. So Much racism in white voters.

Nope. They’re trying hard to get commission for themselves as a fundraiser and most of your extra would go to them not the charity.

My connection is a ‘by marriage’ one really, as Malone is my family. I am pleased to now know we had a very Irish line in New York though!

Kiwi Nomad @kiwinomad06.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

@crgalvin.bsky.social I have discovered some 'distant' Galvin connections- Margaret Malone married Robert Galvin in Ballyhea in 1893 in Co Cork. Had four sons- at least 3 ended up in the US. We're talking fourth cousin distance to this line though!

This was Palmy library. I can’t imagine they’d have 41 copies on order.
