🎄 It's the start of our #Shropshire advent calendar, and here is Ludlow Castle surrounded by hoar frost glistening in the winter sunshine. It was a beautiful morning up on Whitcliffe Common, but the cold was fierce and the only way to stay warm was to keep moving in between taking pictures. ☃️

Annoyingly, my NZ cricket feed seems to have given up working entirely - just when the real cricket is starting. I would investigate but not entirely sure how to ... 🇳🇿🏏

Yesterday's news in #nzcricket 🏏🇳🇿 Otago can have a batting partnership of Chu/Bacon and Wellington can have Severin/Mycock. Ouch

The laptop facial recognition is messing with my head - Look directly into the camera - You're too close, move further away - You're too far away, move closer - You're too close, move further away - You're too far away, move closer I'm dancing like a pigeon here!!!

One benefit of an old and getting more deaf by the day dog is that she was not at all disturbed by the very loud fireworks in the neighbourhood last night

Boston Dynamics and Open AI could collaborate for a thousand years on producing the ultimate robot butler and still not produce something as obsequious as Gianni Infantino.

Nick in early November: "How exciting!!! What a cute little courgette or zucchini, I can't wait until you're big enough to harvest and cook." Nick an unreasonably short time later: "Stop it, enough!!! You can't possibly have grown another one, there are already 10 that need to be used."

We have an NZ Cricket Feed but for some reason, not all posts using the correct method(s) are actually appearing in the feed. Not entirely sure why that is #nzcricket

Hi we are a small garden landscaping business that also sells plants. We are based in the Wellington region and currently have some room for a bit more work.

Ali Riley (former captain of the Football Ferns and 163 caps since 2007) takes the field for what may be her final ever game.

I believe (with info from some who heard from someone who heard from someone else) that Bishop will roll Luxon within the next few days. Prepare for me to repost this when I am proved to be correct.

I have my tickets for the Tauranga Arts Festival to hear from @catherinechidgey.bsky.social and Damien Wilkins. 🇳🇿📚

Is there any other movie with the spread of IMDB ratings that "Prime Minister" has? #CookersLiveAmongstUs

Game on! #BlackFerns

Well the better team is leading by a margin appropriate to how much better they have been. Black Ferns playing too much desperate stuff towards the end, Canada just relentless with ball in hand and offloading superbly

The biggest rugby game of 2025 so far is on at 6am NZ time on Saturday morning. It is the Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-final between Canada and New Zealand and it is too close to call - their last game was a draw and Canada won their previous game. 1/2

As the rain starts and the wind lashes in Tauranga (and a low of 3C forecast tomorrow) it is exciting that NZ plays Australia in a T20 here in less than 2 weeks time. Naturally these games start at 7.15pm, so there will be no problem at all keeping warm sitting on a grass bank for 4 hours. 🇳🇿🏏

About 25 years ago, I was doing a lot of driving in a car with a cassette player - I had approx 20 cassettes and never had a problem choosing what to play. Now I have an iPod with 5,000 songs plus all that streaming malarkey and I can never decide what to listen to. Makes you think ... maybe

"How significant is the fact that Tony Blairs involved in discussions about a post war Gaza?" Ash Sarkar: "Well I guess it's because Satan was unavailable"

It is good that Labour actually pushed through the law to reduce tax relief on investment property mortgages. Even though this CoC reversed it with indecent haste, it hopefully makes people more reluctant to get into that game just because interest rates are coming down.

Come on New Zealand, is this the best "big potato related thing" we have?

In an attempt to lift the mood of NZ BSky, here are the 64 nominations for my "NZ's Most Underwhelming Tourist Attraction" poll back in 2021. They will all be on one thread but may take me a while to complete. For each of the 64, their number is their eventual placing in the poll (top 32 only)
