Inordinately fond of sheep. Crafty, gardener and a reader. I own a scythe and I'm not afraid to use it! Doomer boomer. Ōtepoti

Justice for Palestine Otepoti. I'm in the Octagon. Anyone else from Bluesky here?

And we try and pretend Bluesky isn't a silo! Green for party vote, Labour for electorate while holding my nose. Local Labour MP, Rachel Brookings is quite good.

Absolutely fascinating! That is an area I knew well once upon a time, and I had no idea market gardens were so central. The gardeners names are familiar though from fruit shops that still existed when I was a child.

And rather too many of those words spoken over his opponents words.

I still find myself saying the first line whenever someone, particularly Luxon, says "Don't care!", but I had forgotten where it came from. Thanks for the reminder.

Jeffery Archer once wheeled his suitcase over my foot while coming out of what was then a Dymocks bookstore in Elliot St in Auckland. Late 90s. I would have been cross but he apologises so charmingly.

I've come to the conclusion that social media "friends" have replaced acquaintances. I still have a small core of close friends but my circle of acquaintances has shrunk.

🤞that it's just his weird diet. One to two months is way too long for an emergency appointment. The state of our health system!

Yep, me too.But it tends to work properly after a few times trying.

Thank you, Mr Seagull. I still think cars should not be allowed through there at any speed.

After periods of unemployment the first thing I'dbuy when I got a job was new undies.

Back in the day, old armchairs, especially ones with loose covers, were a good source of loose change when the milk money jar had already been raided. Most houses had a magic money chair where the rake of the seat meant pockets drained into the cleft twixt armrest and seat.

It's seriously good. I'm suss about all those sneaky vege recipes. But I have made a fake key lime pie with silken tofu before and the anti- tofu guest raved about it, without realising it was tofu.

I know, I know! I substitute lots of smoked paprika, garlic and olive oil for it in recipes where chopped salami or chorizo is required. At least I get the flavour if not the texture.

I have almost given up trying to find one that a)doesn't end up stinging my eyes b)so greasy my hair sticks and c)stinks. I tried a tiny sampler of la Roche liquid today and it seemed okay. But I might try more samples before investing in a bottle.
