Now for my next Christmas Miracle. A second cup of tea.

Meri Kirihimete my Bluesky fam.

Me: I'm going to stay up late watching this music doco, then read. Tomorrow I'll have a sleep in. Brain at 5am: No you're fucking not.

@melbailey.bsky.social if I recall, you don't kind a bit of Counting Crows. There's a doco about them on Neon "Have you seen me lately."

Just casually popping new baby tatoes that were boiled for potato salad. Nom nom nom. How do I stop?

CW: Bruise from needle Who wants to see my haematoma? It's now 48 hours along and from my plasma return fucking up.

#BloodClub #GoldClub number 145 today. I know it's a busy time, but please donate if you can.

Weeeeee! Very excited to be trying these later today. #Incrediballs

New quiz is online - guess the year. This one is fairly easy I reckon, I expect many scores of 10/10 forms.gle/Ns2pTMDUxSNr...

More stupid theatre being quietly closed down amid the Christmas rush. The road cone hotline is to end, having achieved basically nothing. What was the cost per cone removed? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The Killers. Oops I'm sorry wrong answers only.

This is a thing of beauty!

Me: Ooooh my skin has been looking alright for a while. This is great. *news of faulty patches, start estro gel* Skin: Surprise bitch! Hope you stocked up on Hero patches.

It's that time of the year where every day feels like a Friday

Happy 'First iRex Ferry Delivery Day' to those who celebra... oh.. hold on.. my producer is trying to wave me off.. #NZPol

@delphijunkie.bsky.social Mr 15 is currently working on Darth's AT-AT.

My favourite past time between Black Friday and Christmas is unsubscribing to emails from retailers. Retailers that I bought something from once, then unsubscribed to all marketing emails, or that I bought something from once many Christmases ago, but they remade their list so I'm back on it.

Hard day for the Ultimate Frisbee teams playing in 28°, the wind has picked up, but they'd barely notice (except when it sends the Frisbee away).

@cateowen.bsky.social is the best. 😘

Stuff suspects Chris Bishop vandalized his own office? Huge if true....

You will be visited by three spirits.

I just assume anything ailing me now is menopause related & anything I might do to intervene is both simultaneously indicated & contraindicated… And may either heal me or cause my immediate death.

Well, that's it. Last ever primary school assembly. 10 years worth there. Cried. Was I the parent that started the applause when the Principal mentioned acknowledging Te Tiriti o Waitangi in his final address (but he hadn't even paused for anything except the next word)? Yes. Yes I fucking was.

My car got its new suspensions bushes and brake pads on Thursday last week. Today it was new tyres and a wheel alignment. On the way home a tiny stone wedged between the brake shroud and the disc. I nearly cried telling Mr Toni. He went out and fixed it immediately. I love him so much.

2-3 weeks break for plebs over Xmas and New Year is not what’s fucking over our economy Christopher.

i wish neil armstrong had brutally flubbed the moon landing line. that's one small step for moon. one small step ON moon. for a man. one giant man.. 's leap. one GIANT LEAP for moonkind. moon man. one giant moon for manmind. you can hear buzz rollin around in the lander, just howling

scapegoat a villain too early and he'll drag you all to hell. a tale as old as time. and in my patreon weeks ago.

The family is all back together.

BRB, off to the beer pub for a handheld meat pie.

#Whamageddon I'm out. My safe space (The Rock) just dusted a fuck tonne of listeners, on purpose too by the way Mulls was chortling.

The Unfuckening yessss www.blog.lifebranches.com/p/aging-out-...

If only there were jobs for people to pay tax from...

(Luxon, trying to take credit but unable to exit CEO mode) "LinkedIn Park"

Give Alex a payrise.

I love a good old thunderstorm. Reminds me of being little and standing outside under the eaves of the house while dad taught us about counting the seconds etc.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices saying "Great thought of yours" were suddenly silenced

20 tea towels! (I have faith in you)

one is an unpalatable festering cesspit of no value, and the other is a mouldy school lunch.

I tattooed my fists RAW and HIDE cause you're in for a whippin' my lad.

10% swears. Seems light.

@profanity.accountant Go on then.

Atrocious.

@witchnwords.bsky.social new batch for this coming month. 17934 (50s) I can't see how it would be better 😑

This is fucking baller

Goddammit l. My book was too good, I read it too late, then couldn't switch my brain off. I'm an idiot.

Take me down to the Vatican City Where the grass is green and the caps are bitty

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Jay Jays NZ inexplicably has multiple Junji Ito licensed tees and they look quite good

@kats-garden.nz laughing at faculties and phalanges. Every time I hear phalanges I think of "Regina Phalange" from Friends.

One of my first jobs, when I was a teen, was a dish washer in a bakery. Tonight I did just five hours as a dish washer, for friends of a friend, at a party. My feet and back have lodged a protest.
