I love the smell of petrichor on a summers afternoon during a thunderstorm.

Christmas night blobbing perfection.

Who else pocket dialed their electrician at lunchtime today? He didn’t have to answer…

Here’s my boys in their Xmas shirts, cutest gang ever… 4 wolves for life!

Merry Christmas everyone. We just said goodbye to our last guests and I feel light headed and hearted with love and good times. I hope you all have some of that good stuff too cos you’re cool & worth it.

I’ve seen pictures in mags of ppl having lunch on verandahs with amazing views and this year I got to host one. I’ve loved this year in Chch & the last 6mths in Ohinetahi. This time last yr I just wanted to go back to Wgtn and now I’ve got my wish but it’s gonna be harder to leave than I thought.

So I opened the card while mentally apologising, to see if the sender details were there. And the senders turned out to e massive Trump fans and were praying for him to deliver America. I put the card in the bin.

For the last few years, we get a Christmas card for a family that have never lived here & I don’t know in the street. I have ‘not at this addressed’ them. But last year, I decided to try and do better & find the sender…

The birds around here have diarrhoea. The berry filled splatters are intense. We’ve had to scrub them off our house.

All terrain spoodle…

I finished making our matching four wolves shirts for Xmas day.

Who among you understands the horror of discovering your favourite embroidery scissors on the bathroom counter and knowing just knowing someone’s been trimming his hairs…

Vintage ball peen hammer you say? I’ll buy it, watch out boys I have a specialty hammer… www.houseofhuia.co.nz/auctions/69/...

Until I looked on Bluesky I didn’t know there was a Ruth Richardson/Nicki debate. Take a breather folks, it’s summer, it’s Christmas, enjoy yr selves a little. ❤️

I thought I’d made these PJs for my sister, turns out I made them for myself!

Took a different route discovered a magnificent swimming hole, such good fun!

At my marae for the christmas party, its such a nice place, since i was here last thry built this in the garden where they leave veg for ppl to pick up…

C’mon Eileen. Never again universe please.

I made us a gang patch to put on our matching christmas shirts. 4 Wolves arooorooroooo

Ikeas great and the stuff from there can be made greater still by all the folks on etsy and the like who make great upgrades for it like legs and handles that fit. Its easy to paint and personalise.

The work on our place is almost finished, so I gave Pātea his Christmas present today, his first shirt with a patch I made of him and his builder owner. You have to check out the vintage bunny buttons.

He’s basically living the life we all deserve… the lucky bastard.

I’m not sayin my place is hard to find but there’s a delivery guy forlornly wandering these hills with my lamb curry… he’s called me 3 times…

Nap face

Weve bought a little as thr say bolthole back in Wgtn so ill be moving back in January. Part of town ive never even visited, Crofton Downs. Looks like lots of nice doggy walks.

I hate hating something irrationally without even seeing the thing I’m hating, but I hate Emerald Fennels Wuthering Heights with the heat of a thousand vengeful Heathcliffs.

Look at these fellas meeting up for a morning cuppa!

Heh?

I thought there’d be lots of fireworks in the bay last night but there was only one solitary small box let off on the end of the jetty for us all to enjoy.

It’s supposed to be a scorcher in Ōtautahi today, but it’s a lovely morning here in the bay with a misty cloud sitting on it…

Great now I’ve gone from hoping Mandami wins to worrying abt his safety…

This reply from an agent after we asked if a 2 story house had only one door…

Dit!⬇️

At the end of today’s work I said to the builder, what was special abt today? And he said I dunno, and I said you listened to my women singers only playlist, I’m fixing you incrementally. He laughed but I really am.

The Doogie Howser thing happened to me again, where I say to a younger person that i feel like I’m being Doogie Howsered by them and they say what’s a Doggie Howser?

Can someone explain this to me?

I need to share youtube.com/shorts/xX8Vh...

Textbook definition of jaunty…

You remember the last series of Taskmaster when Matthew Bayton crawled across the lawn in his underwear and licked yoghurt off Alex’s shoes, well that’s kind of what I was expecting when these two met, so this is actually a lot more dignified than I thought…

We have a neighbour selling a house within the brightline period so she told us she wants to sell it for what she paid for it so she doesn’t pay any tax. She’d rather not make a profit than have to pay a tax on that profit. It makes no sense to me. But that’s humans for you.

The man in the hills been snowed on…

Happy Labour Weekend everyone #AoNZ

A pint of Guinness and a bag of cheese and onion…

I’m playing dog dressups, hbu?

I’m just watching these two make out… do you think if I made some spaghetti they’d lady & the tramp it?

How’s chch city? It’s calm as in Gov Bay.
