But I’m a creep I’m a weirdo What the hell am I doin’ here? I don’t belong here

Is it batty to get a wifi camera, mostly because I want to see my cat when I’m at work?

At the start of this year we paid a visit to Orokonui (bird sanctuary near Dunedin). It exceeded my expectations. If you’re ever down that way it’s a great day out for all ages.

Got yet another email about Spark increasing their broadband prices. That was the motivation I needed to make the switch to another provider I’d been considering for a while (but not acted in because of inertia).

So tired, I can feel it in my achy joints and my foggy brain.

Nearly time for Marlon Williams at the Town Hall in Ōtautahi.

I’m from the West Coast NZ. I don’t like whitebait (both the taste/texture and the idea of eating a threatened species).

Is anyone else having issues with the TVNZ+ app? Specifically audio descriptions are on by with default and do not turn off (even when toggled in the app) - but this is only an issue when Chromecasting.

OKAY, seriously, you've got one week to order one of these Aotearoa Aeternum hoodies featuring 13 extinct native bird skulls and full sleeve art. No extra stock, so if you snooze, ya lose unless I decide to do another run (they're very expensive to produce so 50/50 on that rn). pepperraccoon.com

Hey Sydney people. The BF & I have booked a trip to Sydney. We’ll spend half our time in the city & half our time road tripping. Any recommendations for our road trip? A bit of bush walking would be good. Some scenic views. Good food & drink along the way. Quirky small town galleries?/1

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! GO PLANET!

Trickier than it looks

People in relationships who are not married, how do you refer to your significant other? The BF and I aren’t married, partner makes me want to throw up and boyfriend/girlfriend sounds like we are in high school and just met. We haven’t found a term we’re happy with that feel like it describes us.

It is very endearing to me that my dad signs off all of his texts to me Dad or Love Dad. I’m not sure that he knows that his name does come up at the top of the text thread or if it’s a polite communication convention for his age group. ☺️

#SecretSantaNZ has a date been set yet for MidWinter?

Reflect Create Embrace Hopefully that means I have art making in my future

Creative types. The BF and I are planning to explore art as shared ‘third thing’ we can do together. So far we have played with Fimo sculptures. He is apprehensive about painting because he doesn’t feel like he has the skills to make it look good. What’s a good fun exercise for novice painters?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, Marvel

I don’t know what to do with my life on a Friday now that The Pitt S2 has wrapped up.

Mine was ‘How Knowledge Building Communities can be developed in New Zealand Secondary Schools’. A big focus of it was the experiences of teachers.

It is a gorgeous sunset tonight in Māwhera.

I had a great time at Art in the Park in Māwhera. Even picked up a Cath Sheard and Pen Kirk collaboration and some second hand Poscas.

When is MidWinterSecretSanta likely to be? I need something to look forward to as the world is a general dumpster fire and winter looms near.

Wellington friends, I need a favour. Next Monday afternoon 20/4 at 2pm, I have a gastroscopy at the Rutherford Clinic in Lower Hutt. I can get out there by myself, but due to sedation, I will need a lift back into town. If anyone can help, please let me know. Will reimburse your fuel costs. Ta!

Trigger warning Arachnophobia ……………………………………… ……………………………………… ……………………………………… ……………………………………… ……………………………………… I found this guy crawling around my living room floor. I am genuinely a bit terrified to move the container. I guess it owns that part of the floor now?

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

If you had the chance to have lunch with Sam Stubbs (Simplicity NZ) what would you ask him?

post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

Thanks to whoever used my code. It seems like I won the giveaway!

I switched to Simplicity for my KiwiSaver a year or so ago. It could not have been easier. Low fees, ethical provider doing social good and transparency about fees and investments. If you’ve been thinking of switching, use this link and we both could win! simplicity.referral-factory.com/uNN1tyXd

Scored a shirt dress (wearing in photo) this morning from a vintage store in town. So light and airy to wear. I also tried on a drapey black Jason Lingard dress that was very well priced, but alas, not for me.

🐱🇳🇿 Me too, Nina. Me too.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me 5 classes you took in college: 1. Life Drawing 2. Art Theory 3. Painting 4. Printmaking 5. Sociolinguistics

Today was something. I got called to the front desk at lunch. It turned out that one of my tyres was pancake flat. I was very 😭 🌀-I don’t know how to change a tyre. My colleague Michelle calmly talked me through it, jacked up my car and helped me get the wheel off. /1

I’ve decided to go for a short walk most days after work for my physical (my back is borked & my physio said it would help my rehab) and mental well being. I hate to admit it but it makes such a difference to my hauora.

Post a car photo you took.

December 09, we were on Deutsche Bahn from Berlin to Brussels. The icy snowy weather had very much disrupted things. Multilingual announcements ceased and we did not speak German. A couple of German people sitting next to us proceeded to translate all of the announcements to us.

I ticked off 4 life admin tasks today and went on a lovely wee walk.

This is delightful.

All alien, no weaponry.

I have the airpoints, should I get this? It’s spendy but very pretty. www.airpointsstore.co.nz/product/zone...

See a bridge, post a bridge

Hi I’m lamington. I was part of a lamington periodic table. I was selected on the basis of a dark joke ‘which one will kill me the quickest’. I was inhaled into Philippa’s windpipe. There was so many people in the room no one could see that she was choking for what felt like an eternity.

I’ll take that.
