That’s so wonderful - and something that gives me hope in these days of cray cray. Over New Year down in The Catlins I watched this guy for ages. It was incredible 🩵💚.

How wonderful for you. Have managed to convince hubby it’s worth coming out with his camera vs my iPhone on a stand 😝. Even though we have cloud

Absolutely 💯 on both counts. The coffee situation about to be rectified, our current democracy a little harder to manage.

I frequently don’t agree with Ms Vance’s stance on things, on this one I do. The question is will those who usually agree with her agree here. I hope so. I also hope the level of fierce feedback these past days has surprised these arrogant out of touch #NZpol politicians.

And it’s looking less and less like they would have us believe. This is not the demeanour of integrity.

Yesterday headed off to bluff. The street art is epic.

Happy New Year all from Fort Rose. I love looking out the window knowing next stop Antarctica.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. So good to get back into nature 💚🌳.

Was in Otautahi today and called into the art gallery. Loved this.

Currently reading this. Vincent O’Malley writes “the Waikato War was entered into as something of a business venture”….. My ignorance of our history is frankly astounding. Truly grateful to the mahi of others that I can learn what was not taught at the schools I’ve attended in my lifetime.

Ummm 🤔 excuse me??? You mean the ones who have been doing the actual hard work, research and education despite shit pay and a lack of support. Also said same mental health professionals aren’t out hustling their worth for ongoing validation, they are doing the mahi.

Kate 🩶 @plod.bsky.social · 20/10/2024

Oh yes you are!! It is 💯 a choice to pick the path that doesn’t settle rather than assume the mantle of submission. Never easy going against the dominant narrative, it requires courage and vulnerability. I appreciate your mahi. Arohanui 💜.

Miss Indie seems to mirror Sox. We are definitely her staff 🩶.

So happy for you. Hubby heated up our outdoor bath after I waxed lyrically about your bath. It was rather a delicious treat.

Lol 😂 two weeks ago I thought summer had come early to South Canterbury….. Right now 👇🏽. I do know better, this is my 4th spring down here (2nd in this area) and I adore everything about it. It is kinda amusing how easily I was fooled 🤦🏻‍♀️ and why planting has to wait till Labour Weekend 🌱.

This new Whittaker’s flavour is rather delicious! Of course our wee Putti isn’t allowed any but is enjoying the happy presence of her whanau as they indulge 🍫🍊🧡.

Thank you Vincent, for this post however more importantly your work. Recently I begun addressing my own ignorance of NZ’s history. As a 59 yr old nurse who whakapapa’s with no te reo or knowing I am grateful for your life’s journey and immersion in an area woefully lacking in our education system 🙏🏼.

Brilliant sequence of shots and explanation. I had been out for about 90mins from sunset and then it seemed to fade with not much happening. Went in, app said same as it had for the last 30min poked my head out about 11.00pm and decided to go bed 🤦🏻‍♀️😏.

Stunning! Love the chook 🤍. Beautiful wonderful spring 💚🩷. Our apple blossom with the bees and bird song fills my heart every time I look out my kitchen window.

It’s been a good day 🩵💙. I have cracked the 10k steps, first time since March 2023 when my wonky hips gave way. So grateful to have two new ones 🙏🏼.

Oh Katya - I so hear this - hugs Lots of great advice from fellow travelers and sufferers, so not going to add to that, however I can send you a picture of being trapped under a damp putti 💛. It’s the small things 😘.

Whoop whoop Dunners! Excellent show, thank you all. Does anybody know if there is another march planned? I will drive the 3hrs to help support you.

Am about to do a small stint of lecturing to undergraduates. With a component of Te Tiriti. As I was never really formally educated about it, just snippets here and there relating to “Cultural Safety”. I’m finally doing what should have been done many years ago.

My smallest wee cat and some perky daffodils to brighten your day 💛.

Taniwha are little more benevolent than that term for our current government suggests. I personally think of them as three headed hydra. It is a significantly more malicious and unpredictable kind of creature that isn’t willing to play nice.

Kate 🩶 @plod.bsky.social · 21/08/2024

Precisely my point - it really is part of the all round cat experience. This one of mine is permanently grumpy except when she is not 🤣.

Clearly these Wahine Toa didn’t get the post menopausal memo.

Alarmingly I feel this is correct. I also feel we are seeing a version of the same here from the likes of Seymour, Reti, and Levy.

Miss Indie is no more impressed with the punching down from the government than Toby.

Kate 🩶 @plod.bsky.social · 14/08/2024

Toby is equally vexed and disgusted.

There is truth in everything has its good and bad points. Social media has allowed isolated marginalised individuals find connection with others who are suffering similarly and gain understanding they are a)not alone b)not wrong. Very, very important.

Hell yeah, and fit whoa! We (hubby and I) drove across, traversing up and down where ever fancied. Leaving from Long Island in the early 90’s. Until our 1977 Buick shat itself, so we limped down to Colorado where we had a friend. Had stopped smoking by then foxy.
