TART! Absolute tart!

She’s been chastised for grabbing puzzle pieces in her mouth!

No shame, none at all!

I thought it was just the chair she wanted and not my lap specifically but I got up earlier, came back to sit elsewhere and she got up to be beside me again 🥰

More pretty things and the reason I’m taking photos of said pretty things … sir whinge a lot demanded to go outside 🌱🇳🇿

Pretty things 🇳🇿🌱

Sorry for the awkward filming.., was trying to hold my place but now I’ve got a very large paperweight instead.

I just won two battles over the armchair. First, dislodging the boy by providing midday wets. Second, making my lap uncomfortable so she eventually decided she’d get off - I expect this is only a temporary win

There was an ants nest with their disgusting little eggs on my car door I noticed when I opened it. Not anymore mofo’s! That’s the second I’ve found this week. Man it’s gross!🤮

The juxtaposition of this and ICE goons doing slip ‘n falls all over town is beautiful

#secretsantaAoNZ Ty ! Used my voucher today and added some treats to my cart (as well as some sensible broccolini and chops) 🥰

The Olympic Games in Berlin 1936 should’ve been cancelled, but it wasn’t. Don’t give the tyrant an opportunity for grandeur.

Thank you #SecretSantaAoNZ for my weird snacks. Loved the balls in particular. 🥰

I don’t trust you….

Ext he will rename Washington to ‘trumpington’, New York will become ‘New Trump’, etc etc… add your ideas

She’s snoring

Block instantly.

He got this toy stuck on his tail just before and the result was quite funny so I thought I’d try recreate it for you all.

This dog is in fact called Lily and is a Bearded Collie who is under the joint custody of a legendary folk singer and his daughter. Lily loves nothing more than to get extremely muddy. The one time our cat Jim met her I could see him eyeing her up, thinking “I would so fucking love to clean that.”

#jigsawpuzzle 🧩 time to start a new one. This one is so pretty!

My Schmoo (Scooby Doo fans will know the cartoon character I refer to).

No! I don’t want you on my lap. You could’ve snuggled me the past few hours but you ignored me. ….. damnit! She won’t take no for an answer

Look at my gladioli

Thinking about it, some of the comments from teachers weren’t great but I never got in trouble for it at home as far as I can remember.

Just read all my own report cards from school. Always struggled with maths. Teachers tried to motivate me by telling me I was capable, just not applying myself. Some attitude problems in high school (hated one particular teacher and it showed). Anyway, still here and doing ok even if I was average.

I need to eat so I’ve removed her from my lap

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Raises profound q’s about how factual evidence is communicated to the public. Democracies are too easily destroyed by dis/misinformation (see the USA today). Objective academic voices are vital but not cutting thru.

😹 banger comment of the day

The Gestapo didn’t get as much resistance as what Americans are showing to ICE. So whilst history might rhyme, it’s doesn’t have to repeat 🤗

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a comedian and protest singer known as Robby Roadsteamer, who was wearing a giraffe costume, during a protest outside a federal building in Minneapolis.

Saw someone excusing bad behaviour of ICE… if only they’d complied… um, that justification was given re Jewish people arrested for not wearing or ‘hiding’ the star too… if they’d just obeyed the law they wouldn’t have been arrested and they’d be alive right now. Perhaps I’m being hyperbolic buT..

I have a new hero.

#pukapuka #booksky reading the Victor Klemperer diary has had a big impact on me and I think about it daily atm. It’s pushing me to read this next as I continue thinking about the times he lived in. Thanks @mrjamesob.bsky.social for the recommendation a long time ago 💙📚🇳🇿

Every time one of them moves the adorable meter gets just a notch higher!

📚 I can see this being made into a movie! Be cool if that happened 🤗

Toot toot! All aboard the cat train
