Christmas 'tradition' acheived Franklin Road &

Today been to do a top up food shop at Sylvia Park. It was very quiet IKEA for two things, also quiet No delays or queues on any roads Where the hell is everyone?

It's Christmas Eve, babe

Christmas tradition in our house B19 gets a chocolate treat in its own little stocking Usually its been a Lindt reindeer However this year I thought I'd get the little teddies $15 for 5 if cardboard packaged Got 12 for the same price in the Lindt pick and mix Thats some expensive printed card

Well I found the missing Tamaki residents They all seem to be having brunch/lunch in Remuera

Fid someone pull Aucklands plug? It's bloody quiet out there

You shall not pass

Oh catmas tree 🎶 Oh catmas tree 🎶

Me dozing off to sleep Huge thump from outside Now handed car crash casualty over to paramedics and police I'm off back to bed

Everybody drives from Auckland to Tauranga and back in a day to pick up a chair, right?

Christmas "gift" from my local MP Arrived in a letter which had both misspelled my name and included the previous owner, not my wife Love the useful numbers. Says a lot about how they've fuckwd the country over

It's 1040pm and the neighbour has been out in the garden practicing fly fishing for the last 30 minutes He's aiming at a plank of wood probably 20m up the garden He hasn't hit it yet Why do I have to have weird neighbours. Good thing though, at least this one is wearing clothes

Nice I have prescriptions for and occasionally take 5 of the medications on this list GPs are going to suddenly geta lot of requests for medical defence letters Not to mention the tests documented high rate of both false positives and negatives Temu legislation www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Pauanaui is a weird place A township with a private landing strip in the middle Houses that are also hangers An artifical waterway network with private berths More golf carts than cars on the roads Enough grey hair to keep Winnie in power for decades Reminds me of... Florida

Any country that doesn't introduce age regulation will suddenly become VPN popular

So after having a Christmas Beetle invasion I now have a new bee colony in the garden Beekeeper coming tomorrow to relocate said bee's I'd normally let them stay but the idiot kitten likes to hunt flying things and an entire hive is probably not the best thing for him to jump on

This Friday I have two options to choose from 1) All day national meeting discussing shite we've been over again and again 2) An early start to a weekend in Pauanui where food, alcohol and accommodation is being provided for free Thoughts?

Why didn't anyone tell me cats shrink when you bath them?

Ah, now I know Christmas is coming The traditional @techconnectify.bsky.social light video has dropped youtu.be/oy7BrKNmZAQ?...

Thought it was raining Then noticed the cats taking a real interest in the outside Turns out the Christmas Beetles have decided to party in my garden

On my Sylvia Park trip today I ran into a bunch of people waving the NZ flag and posters asking everyone to join in their "Walk the Bridge" demonstration So looked them up and imagine my surprise when I found out it's a Brian Tamaki "Freedom and Rights" stunt Btw everyone was ignoring them

Guessing Auckland FC are at home today? Just been buzzed by the warbirds

I haz been to Ikea Can confirm it's like every other Ikea 12pm on a Saturday and had my choice of parking spaces Now in Sylvia Park with again my choice of parking spaces

This fucker has lived in less cities and countries than me, and yet the media lap shit like this up

Ah, Auckland A bit of rain and the fucking city grinds to a halt It's not as if it rains 200 days a year here Drive to the conditions and that doesn't mean 2 inches away from my tail pipe

Worth a watch youtu.be/uBpgTgFF1ek?...

@profanity.accountant Worth a laugh

Currently parked on a side street in the centre of Auckland. I'm on wife collection duty Watched 4 people park a car in a space big enough for two Another take 5 minutes parking his car and check it was fine using a tape measure A third who seems to have just abandoned their car Got to laugh

NZTA and AT travel advice for the opening of IKEA

Black Friday is misnamed Long Black Friday is more accurate, as it's been Friday for the last fortnight

I don't fitz but I still sitz

Whatcha doing?

Weird how Aldi, Spar, Food town, Foodland and IGA somehow managed to open and supply 100s of sites in Australia whilst managing to meet this onerous Australasian standard It's almost as if Seymour is talking bullshit again to justify his pointless Ministry

Las Vegas need to hire a better welder

Just got home and found B19 has dismantled both of the e-scooters we have Both had issues, one a motor,the other a probably fried BMS He's currently swapping bits around and keeps looking at my welder Either he's buggered something or has an idea regarding battery swaps

Perfect weather today for Lamb and Mint casserole Which didn't last long enough to be photographed Accompanied with Corn on the Cob and smashed 'tatties

Trying to relax outside The fucking NIMBYs next door are debating Israel There's a fuckwit who thinks carpet bombing the West Bank is an appropriate response to Hamas Just given her an absolute blast as shes spouting Fox News bullshit They've all slinked off inside Making myself popular again

Unsurprisingly it's already ordered www.lego.com/en-nz/produc...

Simple question Do I or don't I?

How the fuck does a supermarket justify a 'sale' on food items?
