Friend is coming to visit in January. Her last trip she sailed down the Nile and saw pyramids in Egypt. That Taihape gumboot is going to really have to pull its weight.

Today's Final Jeopardy is a quote by Douglas MacArthur and I will never forget that I first learned who he was from an episode of M*A*S*H where Radar pretends to be him.

The Trinity for me, not for thee.
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

I'm an any kind of animal person but cats do hold a special place in my heart. Love all kinds of mystical/cryptid creatures but don't have any particular favourites. #SecretSantaAoNZ
A new question for #SecretSantaAoNZ
Are you a cat or dog person? Pandas? Hippos? Dolphins?Dragons? Chimera? Nessie?

Would not be surprised if Karoline called ICE herself.
Our press propagandist has nothing to say about her brother's ex-fiancée, who's being held by ICE in Louisiana despite being in the final stages of getting her green card.

Stopped by supermarket after work. Had a list of "cotton balls, trash bags, toilet paper, and *throws hands* dinner stuff." Midway through the store I confidently put the list in my pocket, job done. Get home w/out the toilet paper. Brain fog has defeated a written list, FFS.

It's a small thing but I've just started watching The Beast in Me and I'm immediately relieved that Claire Danes looks like a normal 40 something woman.

Boys are fully ass grown up pūtangitangi now. Mum and dad have let other ducks get back in the pond and I saw a fresh crop of fuzzy little yellow ducklings! Not sure what the breed is, Mum is pure white, maybe pekin duck?

It’s wild that the tradition of singing anthems before sports matches started with a Wales v NZ rugby match in 1905, as the Welsh wanted to drown out the haka.
The haka is a longer and more established tradition than pre-game national anthems. 🤯 No more moaning that the AB’s should stop doing it.

My queendom for a single article like "What rural Americans need to know about urban Americans." Yes, I did just read my millionth article about how urban residents just don't understand good old rural folk, you know, "real" Americans.

Was asked to sub in for a fours game today. My teammates kept saying "Don't be nervous, just have fun!" and I'm such a bowls ignoramus I didn't know why I should've been nervous. Turns out this particular game was the premier team playing another top team, yikes. We still kicked they ass though 😈

I'm a big reader. Have just started playing lawn bowls. I like to write and am learning how to play the piano. Sort of knit/crochet/embroider but have more "on hold" projects than live ones. #SecretSantaAoNZ

Nine almost fully grown up pūtangitangi. I had it reversed in an earlier post, these are all boys. And I saw an eel in the pond, had
no idea that any were living here. That makes it even more impressive that mum and dad successfully raised these fellows. Ka pai.

I would say ditto New Zealand but he never actually came here when becoming a citizen.
Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution.
He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

Watched the first episode of Boots and it's ringing pretty true for my experience so far. I remember being screamed at right off the bus in truly unhinged ways and thinking "What movie did they get this from?" Then I came to know that one of the DSes was off her rocker for real. She scared me.

Saw the nine pūtangitangi "ducklings" this morning. I say "ducklings" because they're pretty much all grown up. And all girls 🦆🥰

Played two games of pairs today and won both! And it wasn’t just my partner, I played decently for the most part. Better than yesterday and vastly improved from last weekend.

Had an okay outing at lawn bowls today. Love my new bowls but still need to work on the old Heather. A seriously good player asked if she could coach me and I was like "Yes, please and thank you."

New set of lawn bowls just dropped. I wanted customised ones but the lead time is minimum two months and I didn't want to wait so long. These adorable seals will have to make do 🦭
