Hubby is away so I am enjoying a Friday night in with my homedawgs.

Secret Santa mostly done, Christmas presents wrapped. Hubby is not on socials, so thought I would share my epic Calender for next year. We have a tradition of finding the worst calendar for out wharepaku door. I am now melting as it's super hot this evening.

80% of my Secret Santa is complete. I got lucky with my pick #SecretSantaAoNZ

Super Excited for my 6th #SecretSantaAoNZ Here are things I like... Some hints: ❤️ 🎨 arts and crafts (I crochet and paint water colors). ☕️ vintage trinkets - especially from 1930's-60's 🔏 fun stationary 🧶 homemade presents 🐕 Animals 🌈 Rainbow Please no food, severe allergies. 🚫

Oh noes!! I just opened the jewellery box with my snowflake Christmas earrings in it...and one dropped out, and is nowhere to be seen!!! I saw it drop, saw the direction it went in...but it's gone!!

Getting summer ready.....then my shade sail failed and I am now having to reinforce the crappy stitching

So excited!!! Bring it on!! #SecretSantsAoNZ

New wig same witchy ways

Midlife crisis level unlocked...the nose stud!

Ugly to some, but perfect for me (and Winston). I needed a footstool for my nook and came across this glorious work of art.

Happy Labour Day Aotearoa. #nzpol

Got told off for taking photos 'of' rehearsals...this was the photo I took 🤣🤣 My friends and I were sending silly face selfies between scenes haha

Winston showing great patience waiting for our order to arrive so he can have his puppy bagel

Rest in Love and Light Dr. Jane Goddall. You were a pioneer for science, animal conservation, and women.

I made a thing. My 30+ years of being a florist apprentice (i.e the daughter of 2 florists who took me to work with them instead of to daycare) pays off. Was meant to entertain me for the week...and I finished it in 2 days.

Very proud to introduce the next Generation in the family tree, Aurora Joy - born on 23/09/2025. Chris and I will be Glammy and Poppa H as her surrogate Grandparents. Mum, Dad and bubs are all doing well and still in hospital. Toitu te rangi, toitu te whenua, toitu te aroha o te Atua 💕

Who else is preparing for the Rapture? I am just not sure what time zone we set the apocalypse watch to.

Someone ate their puppy bagel too fast and had regrets.

Where are we on the Dystopian timeline?!

Finished work last night and discovered Winston had made himself a nest on the coffee table behind me. There is a couch in my office, and loads of cushions on it....but no....must sit as close as possible.

We're three lines into "First they came..."

Thank goodness they found the kids! Hopefully they will get support and can heal. #tomphillips

Hope the kids are safe. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/major-pol...

Happy first day of Spring!!!

Remindong myself, on day a where I feel barely alive...to Be Kind.

Waiting for ascension, or levelling up...you be the judge #cats

Someone just said to me, taking Te Reo out of school readers is good, because it's ensuring kids are not learning 'pidgeon' Māori....

Winston now identifies as a baby goat.

I have been feeling crappy lately, so a friend dropped this in my letter box....a mini Winston and a fidget bear

Presented as a tool to combat transnational crime, the lack of transparency of its purpose, the secrecy of FBI Director Patel’s visit, and conflicting statements about its intent raise serious questions about New Zealand’s sovereignty, independence, and foreign policy. #NZpol chng.it/dC6QgGw9Sz

Went to the Dr, I have been super tired, usually I dress really nicely... And it masks how I feel inside. So dressed casual, but added light make up as want to avoid the 'irs anxiety' narrative. Turns out a casual Krystal looks relaxed and happy. Also think my top may have spoild my plan

My new chair, only $30 from hospice shop, and looks amazing with my scarlet beauty!

Made a pixie bonnet for Honorary grandbaby, If the parents don't like it for the baby, I can take it back for Neeta haha

Poem for my Dad. In God’s great garden, soft and wide, Don walks with joy, no need to hide. Among the hostas' leafy shade, And fuchsias bright that never fade. The pain is gone, the weight is through, His spirit free, his heart made new. .

I mean the extra money is nice, but I am on week 3 of double the hours and only one day off....and my migraines are flaring up badly 😭 I miss my old brain.

Yesterday, hubby and I tried to work out how you can bruise via a handshake. A small hand, and a much bigger hand, with weirdly placed pressure in the thumb, could cause a bruise, if you bruise easily. Today I have discoverd a lovely bruise, I have a disorder that means I bruise easily.

What post would the fictional character you are in your head

My latest sourdough loaf. I seem to have a talent for bread making!

My cat likes to hide in boxes....

I have seen corruption boil and bubble, Till it o’errun the stew

Blue cup or black cup?

I made sourdough, I started this loaf 10am yesterday. And it was a process....but I looks pretty loaf like to me

I am redoing it, I wasnt happy with the cup and saucer. And yes, I know Grief is spelt wrong, thankfully it is only in pencil for now.

My BFF is having a whistle stop in Whanganui on her trip home to NZ, she is notorious for making plans only to change them on the day. She said she would stop in for an hour at 11 today. So I got up and tidied my house- I have an army of animals - so got the diffuser going...messages me just now.

🚨BREAKING: Court records reviewed by Democracy Docket show the state lawmaker who drew those maps said in court just last month that she didn’t consider race in the process. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

All done. I don't know why I like this quote for grief, for me it just sums up how greif becomes a companion - and when it visits, you should welcome it and let it it work it's way through.

Something different for me, my friends 21 son died suddenly on Monday. We bonded over poetry and art so I felt a painting and quote were more appropriate than flowers or a card.
