#SecretSantaAoNZ I like to think I don’t need my glasses… and yet evidence confronts me
To all the naysayers that say ‘no sniffing allowed’ … boo to you because my Santa said I could 😛🥰 #SecretSantaAoNX just came home exhausted from work to find this. The courier waited until I was out of sight to deliver. Perfect timing as I’m exhausted and this is a nice boost. Ty Sant 🥰

#SecretSantaAoNZ the eagle has landed! Looks firm and rectangle. Doesn’t look like it’d rattle
It would be even more exciting if I had remembered to post the photo. 🤦♀️

An (ecto)parasitic #Crustmas. This is Dolops (above), which swims around and attaches to fishes (below), but unlike its relative Argulus, which has suckers, it has hooks to hold on. Also, is bizarrely cute!

Did my physio. Well, I did physio type exercises and lovely hip stretches but it’s debatable whether I did the physio to failure as i should… 😈 I’ll do something shorter but more challenging tomorrow.
I will do my physio, I will do my physio! Knee feeling a little scrunchy last two days so no time to slack if I want to remain pain free. It’s effective but tedious, even on the reformer which is more fun than without. I’ll add legs in straps to entice me 😀

Geoffrey Palmer tells it how it is.
We must do everything we can to stop the fast-track - not only for the sake of our climate and our special places - but to safeguard our very democracy, and Te Tiriti which underpins it.

When you grew up watching The Christmas Carol did you ever imagine some people desperately wanted to be just like Ebenezer Scrooge? (Prob a reason that name went out of popularity with parents. … you’re not meant to be the villain)
NEW: Dr. Oz is quite literally telling his federal employees to eat less.
“You don't have to try every cookie on the holiday table,” wrote Mehmet Oz in an email to all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services employees.

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written.
And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

#SecretSantaAoNZ send out the Xmas Krampus! Sniffing, poking and possibly rattling only! You may sleep with your naked presents in bed with you at night but that’s best kept between yourself and your WRAPPED parcel!
This means I can open it, right? That's definitely how the game works and not me pretending to not read the rules? 😉 #SecretSantaAoNZ

When Tasman flooded this year, with people trapped & millions of $ in damage, lost livehlihoods. Luxon flew to a Hawaii for holiday. He didn't tell anyone until he got back.
Now he tells NZ we don't deserve our Xmas holidays & we're not American enough. The man with NO portfolio is a tosser #nzpol
