#JukeboxFridayNight #islandmusic a-ha - Manhattan Skyline You know I don't want to cry again Don't want to cry again I don't want to say goodbye I don't want to cry again I don't want to run away I don't want to race this pain I'll never see your face again […]

#JukeboxFridayNight 's theme is #IslandMusic. A few to start me off … Villainy "Tiny Little Island" https://youtu.be/RB3OBmZ3TFU 🎶But in the end the ice will melt, we'll kiss the sky You get the feeling that you'll never see the signs (See what you want to see) You get the feeling your […]

#secretsantaaonz Fave mythical creature? Probably the gryphon (griffin). That being said, I adored the How To Train Your Dragon movies (esp 2 -- but I refuse to watch the live-action version … the voice acting was so good in the originals, why ruin that?)

#secretsantaaonz: Gaming? I love to chill with solitaire on my phone (I turn off timers and scoring … it's strictly chill time). I enjoy Sudoku. I play a matching game called Empires & Puzzles. I don't know … I started playing before Covid-times, and it has an "alliance" part to it, and I guess […]

Going with a theme of health/sickness/medicine, I'll blast out a few and then disappear for my evening chores, then come back and see what else I can find. So, first the obvious ones: Ren "Sock Boi" 🎶Sick boy, sick boy, bitten by a tick boy Looking for that fix boy, anabolic ster-ror-oids […]

SecretSantaAoNZ Gettin' to Know Ya 20th November: Any allergies/sensitivities? None that will be set of by a gift. I'm not a big scent wearer, but I do occasionally like to wear something. I haven't found a jonquil-inspired perfume (I don't go looking, though), but I adore the flowers for the […]

My son wrote a book! I am so proud of him!. He's even set up a website. "A professionally curated, completely biased picture book of the best beers you’ll ever drink — ranked by moment, not hops". Perhaps something that a Santa might like to consider for their Santee. #SecretSantaAoNZ

#secretsantaaonz Gettin' to know me catch-up (17th November): What do I collect? Not much these days. Since having kids, we still have far too many old toys we need to get rid of before I can make nice displays again. I do have one glass cabinet of dragons, and one of horses. And I have some […]

#secretsantaaonz Gettin' to know me (18th November): What sort of jewellery do I wear? Minimal, generally. I do quite a bit of work with my hands, outside, feeding and cleaning up after ponies twice a day. So, basic sleepers (3 in L ear, 2 in R… quite tempted to get more, actually), no […]

Today's #secretsantaaonz question was about favourite colours. I am a big fan of purple in pretty much any shade. I love it paired with yellow, or a bright green, in particular: 💜💛💜💚

Well, I wouldn't be me if I didn't dive into a #JukeboxFridayNight theme of #truthorlies with Infectious Grooves: "You Lie…And Yo Breath Stank" https://youtu.be/XJGFQ7O9h-M

“**I don't believe in long-term nuclear waste warning messages** ” the leader of the nuclear waste storage facility continued. "I subscribe to the philosophy that we should ultimately forget about this place.” She explained herself quite rationally, saying that […] [Original post on mastodon.de]

#secretsantaaonz Well, I suppose I had better do a few "about me & what I like" posts. Honestly, I'm happy with whatever. I enjoy taking part. It's nice just to feel seen, sometimes. I dabble in crochet as a way to do something with my hands when I'm otherwise engaged in a sitting activity […]
