Glorious napping dogs. Sugar is so cute and charming that she makes non dog people think they want a puppy. When she was a puppy she ate 3 remote controls, dozens of socks, some wallpaper and our lounge carpet. She also spent 3 months leaping up and randomly biting everyone's hands.

Our pool pond started with 6 fish and not much else. Now it supports a huge number of fish, frogs, damsel flies and provides drinking water for a truly bonkers number of nesting birds, bees of all kinds and a habitat for many other invertebrates.

Rey (our eldest) has gone off to day 5 of their PHEC course. For context, an intense full day training and 2hrs of travel each way (x 5). This is like a non chronically ill person running an ultra marathon. We're so happy for them 💗😭💗😭

Someone said something lovely to me at work yesterday and that's still making me happy today. If you've ever thought about saying something nice to someone in a front facing role.. do it. It makes a huge difference to us.

Made the error of reading an article about our utterly useless mental health care in NZ. Reading a health officials response that 'no one is turned away, that they're referred to other supports' has made me rage filled.

Started watching a movie. Decided to go find and wash my summer clothes. Found a cardigan with embroidered bees that I bought to salvage the bees. Cut off the bees and am going to sew them onto our bedroom curtains. Have restarted the movie.
