Saw this gorgeous creature on my walk today. Aotearoa has the best birds and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.

Binge watching Lost for the first time, because, why not, and Season 1 Ep 18 has the worst attempt at an Australian I’ve ever heard. Unless this lady living in the Australian outback is actually an Australian, Kiwi, South African?

Meanwhile here in my small city in Aotearoa New Zealand: The local press are running an article seeking to find someone who forgot to take two tea cups when they bought a dinner set at a garage sale. (Oh no!) This is news here. It is wonderful. 😊🌻

Hi all - just jumping back here to say most powerful Aurora Australis in our lifetime is happening right now. Possibly strongest aurora in over 100 years. Basically if the data holds ALL OF NEW ZEALAND will see aurora it with their naked eyes, possibly even full colour & dancing lights after dark

Quite happy with the latest effort (except for the orange one).

Looking for an accountant with understanding of writing income (including overseas payments) in the Ōtautahi area. I've been with my accountant from Dunedin for 18 years but time to shift base. I do a lot of prep work before handing over my accounts. Do NOT want to do the tax stuff myself

One of the things I enjoy about going up to the farm is all the capable, confident women up there. Driving massive tractors, zipping about on quads, expertly reversing horse floats into parking spots barely wider than the float, handling horses that weigh ten times as much as they do. Love it.

I waited 15 months for a cardiac MRI. Within days of having that, I got a letter saying I was waitlisted for an Echo. I was going to cancel it until I read it would be up to a YEAR before I’d be seen, due increased demand caused by Covid. So yeah, stop funding boosters. That’ll work out swell.

Re this Te Tiriti vandalism, it feels like it would be appropriate to add “any similarity to the meaning and intent of the original signed document is purely coincidental”.
