I have the best mum ever. She pretty much reorganised my entire house in 2 days. Wiped every cupboard, cleaned every surface and reorganised EVERYTHING. My god she's an angel.

Interesting that UoA has done a u-turn on their *previously* compulsory Treaty of Waitangi course. Folding under the pressure of the white/right wing

Today is my birthday! I am now officially half way to 66. I am so grateful for the beautiful life I have 🥰

Perfect post hot yoga kai 😅😅😅

Coming to the end of the tulips in my garden it's been beautiful growing them and having them brighten up our whare 😍

The 7 y.os question way past his bedtime so I would keep talking to him tonight was "why is whenua so important to us?"

Wow I'm surprised at how different an infared sauna is compared to a traditional one

One of these dogs woke me up at 3.30 🙄🙄🫠🫠

When was the most shit of all the shit times to be a uni student in New Zealand?

Bahaha was just looking for something in my notebook and found some notes which read "ko te teke te take" 😅😅😅

led by wahine toa Tara, I'm lucky enough to be beside a rōpū of awesome Māori and Pacific "earliesh" career researchers on this one - our advice to the rangatira o āpōpō who are entering into STEM research training (ki a au, he reta aroha nā ngā tuākana tēnei): www.journal.mai.ac.nz/system/files...

"We look forward to smiling at you from across the room in department meetings." Another stunning paper 👇😍

Damn pēhea tēnei? www.journal.mai.ac.nz/system/files...

I really like our paper published today. It is written directly for Māori and Pacific prospective and current PhD students in STEM www.journal.mai.ac.nz/10.20507/MAI...

The school holiday juggle/struggle is real

someone help the poor black lab that hasn't been fed in 999 seconds

I think he's going a bit senile because he's definitely had dinner but he's acting like he definitely hasn't but he has or am I being played

I have been working since 5am it's now close to 3pm and I feel like it's about 7pm

Day 1 of school holidays and my kids already driving me crazy

Today's tulips! I have absolutely loved my tulips. It's been so nice to gift tulips to people and have room in our house has beautiful tulips in it! Next year I will grow three times as much and stagger the planting 😅👍🏼

everything changed, everything destroyed, everything gone

Was feeling a bit meh because I put on 1kg (after loosing 25 🙄) but then I went for a run and reminded myself I am super fit and very healthy so 👍🏼

8 more days until my bday 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 I have booked the day off so I can go do an 8 hr hike 😅😅😅

Pretty stoked about this! Have loved my season of netball so awesome to meet new people and learn a new sport

The Herald may have cut its science reporter, but thank god the speed bump beat is still fully staffed

Perfect start to the day 😍

I applied to give a talk at a big international conference and I just got an email to say my abstract was accepted for a poster and I am thoroughly unimpressed.

My littlest one fell asleep at 7pm on the couch reading with his brother! It's been his first full term at kura. He has learnt how to read, he has learnt 20+ waiata, he has learnt how to write his name. He is so hungry to learn I am so proud of him 🥰🥰🥰

LAST DAY OF KURA

Today's tulips from the māra 😍🥰

Māori born overseas should 100% be automatically citizens here. Colonisers keep colonising 🤬

"Māmā this beautiful princess is you and this unicorn is pissing out its horn" 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

So grating when people advertise a "fully-funded PhD scholarship" that pays half the living wage 🙄🙄🙄🙄

So many beautiful tuna out tonight I think my tīpuna may have been slightly embarrassed by some of the me vs tuna action that went on tonight 🤣🤣

Awesome night with my boys marvelling in te taiao. We caught many a tuna, saw a wall of glow worms and saw many cool spiders!

Our tv remote has been lost for nearly 2 weeks now and I don't think it's going to be found 😅😅😅

Happy Monday

My smallest one found a little slater on our walk and he looked after it for ages and then built a house for it out of blocks and then decided to feed it to the chickens 😅😅💀💀

Great!!!!

demanding Civility and Politeness while displaying none, is a colonial oppression tactic

Having a special weekend with just my youngest. He got to choose all our activities. We went rocking pooling, played mini golf and had ice cream.

This tulip is going to be so pretty!

I love that we have a 150m2 house and this is the spot my emotional support dog has chosen while I do my morning row.. #stage5clinger

How many seeds I planted today: 40 How many seeds I labelled: 0 I am an unhinged gardener 😅😅😅

Today's harvest from the māra 😍😍

seeing some OWG yells at clouds patterns in this data 😅😅😅😅😅

💕🌱

I have really enjoyed getting back into R after a rather long hiatus! I like the colour differentiation thanks @thoughtfulnz.bsky.social
