Birthday selfie.

We’re going away for my birthday tomorrow. So of course I’m going to leave packing until shortly before we leave.

I had a trip up to Reefton this morning that was 90% built around patisserie (photos below). That town is a well kept secret, NZ. Sparks so much joy. 💛🍰🍮🧡

Good luck. Nice to have such a meaningful design and to have a piece of Grandpa with you.

I bought a handmade sweater dress from the SPCA shop. It kind of looks like a hospital gown (teal and mid calf length). It is so comfy though and pockets!

I did a Teacher’s College placement at my old high school and then worked there early in my teaching career. It took me a very long time to be able to call my art teacher by his first name.

Are you with Westpac? Their banking app is terrible for the way it displays transactions. Transfers to credit card never show up instantly. It’s the main thing I miss from my previous bank, which had average service but a pretty slick online banking system.

I use them day to day. I like to be able to see the designs and also a nice reminder of the person who gave it to me.

My friend and her kids called around this morning. They had been in charge of cat sitting the past few years before Nina crossed the rainbow bridge. The drawings 💗 🥹
Tulips in a pink glass vase. There is a candle burning to the left of the vase. A child’s drawing of a grey cat. The cat is beside a food dish that says Nina. The cat has a speech huddle beside its head that stay ‘Meow!’A cartoon drawing of a grey cat with a large hard and large gold green eyes. Its tail is up. A drawing of a woman wearing a red striped top and a denim pinafore with embroidered flowers  on it. She has her hair in a top know and has triangular drop earrings. There is a contented grey cat on her shoulder. There is a small red love heart between the woman and the cat. On the woman’s other shoulder there is some small text that reads ‘Phili + Nina’

Me too. I normally align with TPM and the Greens on Political Compass quizzes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think I’ve become more centrist?

The wording is strange. A pedestrian was hit by a car. The word crash seems inappropriate. I work locally in Hokitika. It is super sad. We’re a small enough town that the degrees of separation are very few.

My lovely Nina walked over the rainbow bridge this evening. My heart is broken. She has been my wee companion for 15+ years.

When I was most recently in Australia, we stumbled upon a restaurant chain called Okami. All you can eat within two hours, a charge for having a substantial amount of left overs (I think it was $15 for over 200g uneaten). We ate extremely well that night.

It has been a rough week. The Nina (16 year old cat) has had multiple tests with the vet. It turns out that her kidneys are the culprit. She’s been put on medication to slow the decline, but there is no cure. Having all the feels 💔.

I’m feeling this. Grateful to past me for who slow roasted pumpkin and kumara yesterday and made a delightful roast vege/ginger/coconut cream soup. That is happiness in a bowl.
Said soup. In a large white japanese style bowl (with a sakura style pattern in grey glaze). Pumpkin, Kumara, ginger and coconut soup has a few drops of olive oil on top. The result delicious.
