Pōneke Bluesky - have told daughter she can have highlights for her Christmas present. Recommendations for good colourists in Welly? #kikorangi

Remy still enjoying his own special glass. We fill it up to the top of the cat's tail every day and by the next morning, the water level is usually around it's collar.

Moody Makara.

Pretty pani puri

i get that this is supposed to be a joke, but i’ll go ahead & fulfill the humorless librarian stereotype & point out that the move to online catalogs has empowered library patrons and rendered collections legible and accessible and integrated like no other development in the history of libraries. 📚

Son no. 2's welsh cakes for senior drama sustenance.

Ewww, looks like he's going in for a snog but she's not that keen.

Next, National will claim it was a carefully thought out policy to force people to emigrate overseas in despair so that rents would decrease.

Bought the cat his own drinking glass.

Impressed with Jill Rogers - straightforward and clear.

Phew.

Father's Day cheesecake

Spring 1

3 tui on neighbours very spindly kōwhai.

One of husband's father's day presents.

V cute 🥰

Woah, it's a windy one out there today Welly.

Dramatic sky all of a sudden

Here comes son no. 2 fresh (probably not v fresh at all) from walking the Queen Charlotte. In the Bluebridge not Interislander.

Miss Moo made me (well, you know, she put it on while I was in the room) watch the Netflix doco Unknown Number last night. OMG! Still thinking about it today.

Say it all, really.

The blocking of the squares

Thanks Temu.

Took some time off from writing for a walk in the forest.

We picked the best day to take the train to Masterton.

All this alarm about foreign interference and yet we roll out the red carpet for the FBI in Welly.

Son no. 2 made good use of his day at home for teachers' strike to go fungus hunting - found one of these (not his photo).

Wow, those Barrett brothers are amazing. All Blacks and Silver Ferns.

Riches from Night & Day. Limit of 1 per person but husband worked his charm and persuaded the shop assistant to let him have 2.

The sewing in of the ends. I alternate between sewing them in after each square or making a load of squares and sewing them all in at once. Both are awful, to be honest.

What a day

Bluebridge sailing under the rainbow.

Double rainbow in Pōneke.

Made sure to secure my first Aotearoa passport before the cover change.

One of Miss Moo's answers on her maths co-req was marked wrong because she spelled February wrong. Seems harsh.

Salmon Wellington. In Wellington.

"Fair cop" 🙄 Trivialising the lying and its intent.

Hmph, am listening to an audio book of Lady Susan and all the female narrators are America, males are British. Weird.

Maybe drive better?

Moules avec Miss Moo.

Should be boycotting it anyway. www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360776...

Why is RNZ boosting those pronatalist, eugenicist, American weirdos on their website? Sick of seeing her stupid bonnet. Not clicking or linking.

How about properly funding school libraries? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
