RIP Kaylee. Our sweet greyhound was nearly 12 years old when we had to say goodbye to her a week and a half ago. She had aggressive bone cancer and we were no longer able to control her pain. She is very missed by her brother Benji and my husband and me. Here she is in happier times.

Sounds like a pretty essential consultation to respond to if you live an area that has seen banks close branches — I’m reminded of news articles about this in the Wairarapa. Access to cash is vital not just in case electronic networks go offline, but also for privacy reasons.

Forgot to post this glorious Pōneke sunset from Thursday evening, 16th July.
Sunset in Pōneke Wellington on Thursday, 16th July. Colours shade from gold near the mountain tops through peach, purple, and a beautiful blue at the top. You can just see the crescent of the moon and Venus near the middle of the image.

Lived experience is often dismissed – but we should recognise it as a form of expertise
People living with disabilities or through poverty and racism develop deep practical knowledge of how institutions function. They should be seen as experts.

Take care to all the Elves. This has been one helluva year so far. Maybe #MWSecretSanta should be a gift we get for ourselves to support our own wellbeing or a donation to a charity that helps uplift others.

If you're not registered to vote, or if you feel disenfranchised about the system enough that you don't feel your vote will count, I get it, but please know it really will. Just the act of you registering or going to vote is showing the vulnerable people around you that you care. (3)

And last but not least a copy of an amigurumi crochet book to make robots! I almost bought this book a few months ago. 😁
A book with the title: Crobots-20 amigurumi robots to make. The book is light blue with white dots and a picture of a cute robot on the cover. Next to it is a small card with drawings of leaves.

Opened in size order the next present was two hand cross stitched ornaments of festive greyhounds. So lovely. They look just like our dogs. ☺️
Two crosstitched ornaments side by side.  On the left is a black greyhound with a holly bow surrounded by a gold frame. On the right is a black greyhound with a white nose and throat wearing a Santa hat in a silver frame. They have the biggest eyes and are so cute!

#SecretSantaAoN oh my goodness. I feel so spoiled by my Secret Santa. So many thoughtful gifts with little notes to explain each one. 💕 first a gorgeous card. Plus donations to two very worthy causes.
A gorgeous card that looks handmade with a crosstitch background in shades of green with 3 white flowers (poinsettias?) dotted across. The bottom right says “Christmas BLESSINGS”. It is standing on a white table. A shot showing that The Kindness Collective and apathy have received donations. Part of the inscription reads Santa made a few donations in your honour.
