Pretty sad to wake up to this today. Only just last night, I had enjoyed my favourite stars. They couldn't even leave me the sky.
View of a third floor under construction, from next door. Half of the sky is now occupied. The roof hasn't even been added yet.

How many women have been lead animators in movies? Just asking, for a "me, who has been watching credits for over 30 years." I guesstimate that somewhere around 3% is an overly generous number, and that the reality is more like 1%. (Just having a little bit of salt in my day, today!)

They have started the base work for the second floor of the development going up next door. I shall miss the view of my pink trees 🩷, my wide-boi tree 💚, and None-tree hill. A view that I have been lucky to have from my li'l flat, for nigh on 26 years.
A nighttime photograph looking at the silhouette of a large tree, with lit trees covered in pink blossoms nearby. In the distance, an Auckland monument formerly known as One Tree Hill. To the left, a building frame that marks the height of a development set to hide almost all of the view on its completion, because the development goes nearly to the front of the neighbouring property.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Today's waking thought. "Life from the point of view of a processed cheese slice." Why. Brain, why you come up with this utter pointlessness? (I tried to imagine it nonetheless.) #wakingthoughts.

Exhausted by being woken constantly at 7.30 am (and earlier, because folk who arrive early and move things around the construction site, are unsurprisingly not quiet.) 6 days a week unless it rains. This goes on (apparently) until OCTOBER. No focus. Piecemeal sleep, & jumping at the drop of a hat.

Today was the day I found out that the 'family farm' which has been part of the fam for about 100 years or so, has been sold. (It was not unexpected, alas.) Complex feelings, and much sadness. Most for the trees that I will miss (deeply) which were integral to my own childhood.

Went to the takeaway roast shop yesterday. Some fucking guy fidgeting and huffing and blowing and scowling while he waited. IT WAS PRIME RUSH HOUR for FOOD and this entitled performative asshole was projecting all the unpleasantness he could. Gods, I hate such people. The staff are lovely.

It was in my youthy youthfulnessness that I called this roadworks sign "man peeing in a ditch". (I still call it thusly, because "grown up" only means you might be taller!) Today, spotted it on the back of a work-van, tilted 90°. "Man pole-dancing in ditch."
New Zealand road sign for "roadworks ahead", with the stylised iconography of a figure appearing to dig into a mound of somethingThe same sign as the previous one, rotated 90 degrees. Now giving the impression of a stylized pole dancer, instead of a digger of ditches.

Not my origin story (Books were a multitude, including Dr Seuss, the poems of Spike Milligan, World Myths & Legends, and a slim children's volume on the Planets/Space.) But the interest in science and general knowledge would be these two, plus Mum's maroon 10 volume encyclopedia set.
A 70s book called "Butter Side Up" or "The Delights of Science", the cover features a caricature of a man holding the nucleus of an atom, the author Magnus Pyke.Book cover featuring many things, a clock face, a magnet, a metro one, a barber's pole, a hummingbird, among many other things. The book's title is "Tell Me Why", subtitled "Answers to Hundreds of Questions children ask. By Arkady Leokum.

Once upon a time there was a house next door, and then there wasn't. The End.
An old New Zealand villa, with its roof packed down in preparation for being towed away.A view of a similar angle to the previous picture. There is no longer a house next door, but there is a nice view of Matariki (the Pleiades), Taurus, Orion, and Sirius (from left to right, respectively.)

I feel the need to post art, even if these two are a bit older! I have been drafting sketches recently of juvenile Dappy, contemplating when silk ties entered his fuzzy little life! The other image is sporting the kind of attire I was wearing around the age of 4-5. ;) #caberworld
A watercolour illustration of Dappy Squanks who is a Caber (best described as a tail-less otter with slightly longer legs!). Dappy has many silk ties, for he is fond of them. He is trying on a light blue tie decorated with yellow duckies. Other ties hang neatly on the wall in the background.A watercolour illustration of the clothes I used to wear as a child, as won by one of my Caber characters. The clothes are a skivvie of many horizontal stripes of colour, and a pair of denim dungarees. A pair of brown glasses complete this ensemble!

I will miss Dunedin. As friends and relatives here say, if it is meant to be (for me to find a way to come 'home'), it is meant to be. But darned if this wishful thinking hasn't taken far too long. Anyone need an aging animator/worn out VFX monkey? Lol.

Submitted a last minute Hail Mary to save a lovely Puriri tree from likely redevelopment (a.k.a. destruction). Too many trees have been departing the street. Maybe the Morepork that usually nest there each year will thank me.

Recently, in the supermarket, one of the songs playing in the background was Billy Joel's "The Longest Time." As I walked around getting my stuff, several other shoppers (including myself) were having quite a decent hum/sing-along to it. It's just that kind of song. youtu.be/a_XgQhMPeEQ

Caught up with the same kiddos again this weekend. To my delight, they'd glomped on to making spoon penguins themselves, and had set up a combat diorama just for me, inside the family's caravan! (I forgot to take a photograph of it 😭!) Extra praise for the rocket propelled ones taped to the ceiling.
