Meri Kirihimete from our table to yours.

Salmon Wellington in Wellington.

What a twat

Comfortable sleeping position, Remy.

Ham done

Found this booklet in our postbox. First thought there must be an underground anarchist cell in Karori, leafleting the suburb. Then I turned to the first page - Christmas present to son no. 2 from one of his friends.

In the run up to the 25th I spend much of my day thinking, "Where can I hide this so nobody eats it before Christmas Day?"

Yum

Feet up watching the cricket while Miss Moo cleans the windows (for cash).

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Cricket squared.

What an embarrassing headline.

I remember menz really laying into me in the bad place when I questioned the impact that major public sector job cuts would have on the tax take and economy. Oh well. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Wonder how much they are being paid while there are mass redundancies of ISB staff?

Epitome

I'd like to avoid it too.

Damn, accidentally made frittata in a pan with a plastic handle so instead of my usual shove-it-in-the-oven-until-it's-cooked-through approach, I'm going to have to do the shuffle-it-on-to-a-plate-and-back-into-the-pan method. Wish me luck.

This picture is chaos - how can they be playing all these games at once?

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Am sure I just heard a tieke in the trees at the back of Karori Park. If so, thanks @zealandia.bsky.social

Shall I?

Am not going to be able to stop the cat sitting on this while it blacks, am I?
