The quake this morning made me miss twitter more than anything else. That's always where I would go after a quake. 😭

Hi. I'm looking for beta readers. If you like romance, smart protagonists who know their self-worth, men who go to therapy instead of making their issues other people's problem and happily ever afters, and you're willing to give constructive feedback to improve my manuscript please reach out!

Absolute bummer, I'm so sorry. I hope there is delicious food in your future

Thank you! I feel like we might break that this year!

Does anyone know the highest temp for Wellington for 2022/2023, and our highest this year? I'm failing to Google

Thanks! These are just the ones on the street so I won't open them for fear of urine

What's this called? I need to know because my descriptions for Fix It requests are getting increasingly ridiculous

Now I have whitefly 😭😭😭

Did you see apparently they've reduced the risk of level 3/4? Yeah the 20+ overnight is killing me

My fish tank is already struggling with the heat

If its this warm this consistently in Jan in Welly, how fucked are we for March?

Reckon it would work now? Or do you have to do it early?

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 13/01/2024

Oh this is a brilliant tip. I wonder if copper spraying them now would work...

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 13/01/2024

Does it work on tomats? Mine are starting to get powdery mildew and I'm scared to spray them because maybe being wet caused it

Guys if I thought writing was hard, I was delusional. Editing is fucking torture.

Even just housing - 2 people can get away with less space than 3 or 4. So silly.

Are DINKs really better off? Why do we need an article? 2 people working, supporting 2 people, will surely almost always be better off than 2 people working supporting more than 2 people, even if some of them are little? i.stuff.co.nz/business/mon...

I miss old twitter 😭 Unpopular to say maybe but I do

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 09/12/2023

Of course, here I was actually sharing my feelings and conversing with people about my everyday happenings 🫠

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 09/12/2023

Its tricky, eh? I love seeing people garden pics so much!

Update on the kittens. They don't hate me anymore - I get lovely, adorable kitten cuddles and they have learned to purr! And despite being feral hedge cats for the first 4ish weeks of their life, miraculously they don't have fleas! (They did have worms though - gross).

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 09/12/2023

I don't really know how to talk on social media anymore. I can't freely share my political reckonings (but I fucking love yours, so please keep them going!) and fuck man, the world is GRIM and sometimes sharing happy stuff feels inappropriate.

One of my favourite things about this app is I follow a small enough number of people that I get to just watch one person I follow being a complete dickhead to people.

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 28/11/2023

Also, we are fostering 2 kittens. Love: kfc Hate: me, unfortunately

I finished my first draft of my novel. I'm so proud of myself. #Nanowrimo

I'm still doing #Nanowrimo. I'm 81,000 words in and on track to finish the first draft of my novel this month

My reading is suffering this month. I have finished 2 books. Usually it would be at least 6 by now.

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 11/11/2023

So it's day 11. I've revised my goal to 120k in November. I just hit 45,726 words written. I don't know what my story is about anymore. Also not sure that I care that much what it's about.

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 01/11/2023

Hey so I'm doing #Nanowrimo again this year (writing 50,000 words of a novel in November). My novel is set in part in London, but I haven't been. Is there like an up-town/down-town thing? Where would you describe the CBD is compared to... Other parts of it? This is a stupid question but please help

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 31/10/2023

Ugh that sucks! What's the book?

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 30/10/2023

I don't understand how people with the same internet as us don't see this for what it is. I don't need to understand *everything* to realise no one is the good guy, and one of these not-good-guys has *outrageously* more firepower & social goodwill and isn't afraid to use either of those things.

It's almost like the plan was not really preventing abortion and was really about controlling women 🤔

How the fuck can you have 4 simultaneous *layers*of traffic, Auckland? How do Aucklanders cope? (yes I know I am traffic but in my defence, I'm trying to leave)

000

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

Honestly it's wild how difficult it is to avoid the rumours. I'm currently on holiday in Auckland still getting goss about politics from my welly friends

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 26/10/2023

I'm certain this is all unrelated

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

So I have a bookstagram which I'm slightly embarrassed about but also if you want book reviews, you can follow me over there instagram.com/lmfbsreads?i...

Woah thats such a savings!

I'm on track to read 200 books this year, and that feels kind of crazy.

Omg I forgot the best part - when he found out I'm 34, he was all "wow, you dont look like you're 34!" On the surface, I was quite chuffed, but now I think about it more, does he think 34 year old are wizened? Walk with canes? Carry oxygen tanks?

Lauren @lmfbs.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

Reckon we can get a refund?
