I'm grieving all my plans that require mobility, socialising, and physical strength/endurance. Scenic walks, overseas travel,complex activities, lifting the weights I used to, eating out, socialising, a stable relationship, writing legibly, wanting to go back to ballet.

Yeah I don’t need that $500 thanks England. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I am in this meme and do not like it 😬 Who else?

New Zealand has lost 29% of its glaciers since 2000 That means in only 25 years, we've lost almost 1/3 of our glaciers, that had been existent for millions of years prior. Oceans continue to warm Meanwhile this govt are pushing through bills to disband the Ministry of Environment #NZ #nzpol

Would anyone happen to know any upper limb/shoulder surgeons in Christchurch for some advice?

I've aggravated my big toe again. Too enthusiastic on the ataxia balance exercises the physio gave me. Pain is 'not nice' 😬

The first #kakapo chick for four years hatched two days ago (on Valentine’s Day for those who like to anthropomorphise!). Here’s Tiwhiri-A1-2026 in Yasmine’s nest. 📸: Deidre Vercoe. www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r... #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots #birds

Celebrating the anniversary of the opening of New Zealands National Museum - Te Papa Tongarewa - with a video filmed by Capital Kiwi. This video features a Kahukiwi woven by my mum, Erenora Puketapu-Hetet, especially for Te Papa

The wind is absolutely insane here in Pōneke. Every time I'm close to falling asleep, a massive gust shakes the whole house. Stay home today if you can, don't risk life or limb. #AoNZ #southerlystorm #extremeweather #WellingtonNZ

Who needs 3 waters... #Nzpol

My new favorite German word.

Wellington NZ Friends - metservice might be underestimating tomorrow's storm www.facebook.com/share/p/1Br2... Daniel built the upper hutt weather station & focuses on Wellington weather. He's saying it could be as bad as 2013. I'm moving my outdoor pots and checking nothing loose is around my house

Under the previous govt the Wellington harbour would have 2 new purpose built ferries by now. Under luxon the Wellington harbour just has poo in it.

Tere tohorā, tere tangata. Where whales journey, people follow.

So I had what I'm sure was my first AI generated client enquiry last Friday. What I noticed: -OTT praise & enthusiasm for my business and myself. -Extremely detailed as to what they were after, to the point of excess. -Professional business language not normally used in personal communication.

This is Ladybird. She's politely requesting butt pats. Will accept them for as long as you're willing to provide them. Could be days. Weeks even. 13/10 (TT: christina.stamper5)

I have eye issues associated with my cerebellar ataxia. My eyes can't follow a moving object between 2 points accurately, the muscles are weak & lack control. This is called abnormal saccades, & exercises to try and slow its advance often don't work. This+poor balance=falls. #ataxia #raredisorder

🤣🤣🤣

I finally have my shower stool, now to figure out the right shower head position so I don't drown myself 😂

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

So the Plant has been a walking disaster since 2021 and here we are in 2026 with shit pouring into the Cook Strait A Disaster is never a single event but a series of events leading to the catastrophic failure. Veolia should have their contract immediately terminated

Checked my bank account this morning.. balance of $0.00, not joking, so I had to shuffle some money around 😬

Pōneke, where can I buy a decent Boston Bun? I have a hankering that needs to be satisfied 😊

Take me away. #lenticularclouds #clouds #nm

What a fabulous summer we're having. 😬🌧🌧🌧

I had an idiot tell me last week I could cure my ataxia by adopting a vegan diet. FFS.

This! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #chronicillness

Who else is watching the new season of Bridgerton?

I am now stuck in a migraine cluster. 3 in the last week, thank goodness for triptans 😬

If you weren't already aware, the red pill rhetoric has grown in the fitness coaching space, not only amongst men but now women. It's kind of inevitable with the current conservative political climate, but we need to stay aware. (It's not just in the US, but also the UK, Australia & Aotearoa).

For those of us working in the health, fitness and longevity fields, it is so disappointing to see Peter Attia and Epstein in the same sentence.

My personal favorite scene (cued one minute in for your convenience).

My brain is in a dreadful state after yesterday's funeral. Learning more about what happened prior to his death, has triggered me horribly and my brain is stuck in freeze. I know this is a protective mechanism, but I can barely function and I feel like an inert blob. 😬

My cousins funeral was today. I spent an hour sitting with him at the funeral home, then went to lunch with his son, brother and SIL. We then headed out to Mākara for a simple, but perfect, farewell and interment, on a glorious Wellington day. Am exhausted.

I like to see politicians worried for their jobs—because of the voters. Let's make this a thing.

This is Bean. His nose almost didn't fit in the pup cup, but he persevered. 12/10 (IG: beanminibull)

We all know that January is a tough month, so here's a cute, cuddly Hamster munching on some broccoli.

Three more #kakapo nests found on Anchor Island in the last two days: JEM (2 eggs), Yasmine (1 egg) and Marama (photo; she was protective of her 2 eggs). There are now 11 females nesting on Anchor, 6 on Whenua Hou, and some (TBC) on Chalky. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

On top of the stuff with my shoulder, I need to have hearing tests for my vertigo. If I need hearing aids, theyre out of luck or should I say my bank account is. And on top of that, my cousin died last Saturday. It's been a hell week 😥

Why am I in this meme? I don't like it 😕

Somebody asked me if I ever actually shut the f up about my illness. I'd like to address that publicly. No, I do not.

Hey, #kikorangi fam, please share this info with anyone you know that might be interested! Little Makos Swim Schools in Wellington still have spaces left for Term 1. Thanks so much! #pleaseshare #aonz #localbusiness #blueskyfam #pōneke
