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

The first sets MM sent were sunflowers and roses. Was hooked from then on.

The bunch of flowers is absolutely my favourite set. So cheerful. I saw these advertised today. I’m going to have to save my pennies.

Two Lego sets being advertised - a bunch of red roses, and nine small plants in little brown pots.

Finally got around to doing the last two Lego sets that MM ever sent me. I think I was putting it off because I was expecting it to upset me, but now I smile as I walk down the hallway and see them (and yes, maybe I shed a tear or two).

A bedside table with a black and silver lamp, a vase of Lego flowers, and some Lego succulents.

I don’t know about you folks, but I found Wordle a few days ago a little… disturbing.

Wordle with two words.

First word STARE with the T correct but in the wrong place.

Second word TOUCH.

That face! 🥰🥰🥰 Seems to be a pre-requisite for the little ones to be full of character. Patrick used to live on a farm full of minis. It was just the best.

I just have a little Appaloosa (32 years old). He’s got so many friends of all shapes and sizes at the farm he’s at, and they have dozens of canine and human visitors. It’s good for the soul.

Just wondering which of these I would have been unable to afford to fill, if I’d been charged for the prescription fees.

So you know how apparently a million of us died from the vaccine, and the borders were closed for aaaaaages limiting migration… I’m a bit confused.

For the life of me I can’t work out why the coalition of chaos is ditching the whole smoke free thing… No idea what could possibly be driving it. www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-pos...

Is someone on here organising t-shirts in te reo, that say “I will fucking increase the fucking thing”?
