My lovely wife @MichaelaKHulse is deserving of some congratulations! She has been shortlisted for two different $10k scholarships (of which she can only get one) to help with her study towards a graduate diploma in teaching next year.

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

What do we think, Mastodon? This 8 for $8.88 deal has been on my dairy wall for *months*. Of course, I know it *should* have some lines coloured in to show the actual deal, but since they haven’t done it, I think this interpretation is on the side of the angels? […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

Opposition to better cycling infrastructure by (usually right wing) city councils is mind-blowing because: - it's a rare climate mitigation that many citizens are happy about; - compared to car infrastructure, it is VERY cheap and saves so much money; - it is a very effective way to reduce road […]

We got a new fence. I started #painting the first coat yesterday afternoon. Did about 8m, out of a 34m length. Waiting on the neighbour to decide what colour they want the capping. #garden #DIY #colour #color
