Tentatively looking for an audiobook narrator. NZ accent, preferably a woman, queer friendly, experienced with audiobooks. I'm obviously googling/looking at sites with profiles as well, but any leads or recs welcome.

Generally we don't (unless it's a computer game separately).
We all love Xmas, but it's also a lot of out of routine stimulus.
So we have breakfast together, open pressies and then browse on food and play with our gifts.
Often we gather again for Xmas desserts at teatime.

Time for a new question #SecretSantaAoNZ
What do you play on Christmas day? Cards? Monopoly? Croquet? Cricket? The Santa Hat movie game?

The social media ban has me conflicted.
On one hand: umm how? And, but ai is somehow still fine?
On the other: protecting young people from predatory companies is good. I've seen harm caused to kids as young as 9.

I'm trying very hard to pretend that I'm not playing #SecretSantaAONZ so that I don't think about how far away opening day is.

Our chook zone has become a tad post apocalyptic. Which is normal but it's also the view from Reys window.
So we're planting the destruction zone in grasses and flax (all gifted or resited)

I am not a fan of living 'naturally'. It's utterly overrated. I very much enjoy my processed imported coffee. And lollies. Also breathing, yay asthma meds!
(Also if you feel like you'd benefit from hrt, ask for it. You don't even need to see your regular dr. Just use one of those online drs)

I’ve just been told the Dutch children’s news site has an item about it. The headline is: “Celebrations in New Zealand Because of New Shop”.
