Motto: "If it gets sloppy, eat it over the sink". Librarian. Habitually polite.

There was a good BBC4 IOT with Melvyn Bragg on the Tenant. A few years ago, but interesting contributors. And he always does his homework.
Polite reminder about the hysterically funny Death in Brunswick. John Clarke and Sam Neil, among others.
We have a history. Why not inform, discuss, and encourage? I think this is the most significant thing the current govt has tried to tamper with and blot out. Most of their actions stem from this.
"embarassment is New Zealand's latest export" - Ouch.

We are deeply concerned about major cuts to funding for Mฤori news and current affairs programmes Te Karere and The Hui, by Te Mฤngai Pฤhล.

This is terrible for Mฤori media, and sadly consistent with this Governmentโ€™s continual undermining of Mฤori culture.
Has anyone grown Hokkaido squash? Also know as red kuri and Potimarron. I have some seeds from Kings, but I am in Tฤmaki Makaurau and I am wondering if it is too late to plant them. My Austrian friends love this variety - it is pretty to grow & delicious roasted. #nzgardens, #aotearoagardens
I'm philosophically at odds with born again sibling, probably the other one as well, and lots of friends. And I feel a bit resentful. I shouldn't have to counter their rubbish with facts, when I can find them. Why can't they go looking?
I keep thinking about my parents. Both pre-WW2 & went through a lot. But life was good post war& my boomer brothers& husband had a lucky childhood. I grew up in a "blue"electorate & Dad was a solicitor. But he detested Muldoon, shook his head over Bastion Point & would never have voted for this lot

EEK!! A live hornet nest has just been found (and destroyed) in Auckland. This is a big species of stinging wasp. We really don't want these to establish.

Please keep an extra careful eye out for unusual wasps, especially if you're in the Auckland area.

You can post photos on iNaturalist NZ [โ€ฆ]

Since our fat Harry was permanently stuck in "I eat all food all the time" phase, as he aged he was more of a pin you down and sneakily fart in your lap cat.
These coverage quirks are still a thing? The organisation I worked for in the '90's had to apply to the PSA to be covered. It wasn't until someone applied for extended sick leave for open heart surgery that we all found out we were not "entitled" to anything at all.
You are an inspiration Kim. You looks fabulous, and I love the dress.
I picked a "Double Delight" this morning because I thought it was going to get smashed. But the wind never really got here today. It was just "breathy" in the remaining big trees.

Hardly a leaf moving here in Ellerslie atm.
I can't describe how sad and offended I am that innocent kids are being fed toxic slop for lunch and the ACT party are celebrating it. It's inexcusable. I hope they survive and thrive in spite of it, and remember.

I was listening to a podcast about the fish-tetrapod transition a couple of nights ago and it's a miracle any of it works. Especially the little ear bones.
Pleased for you. Hope it lasts. ๐Ÿคž

Shame on this government for the deeply racist Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Amendment Act, just passed into law.
