Welsh lass now living in Whakatū, Aotearoa. Ex software engineer, now part-time busy doing crazy shit I wish I'd discovered earlier in life. Posts sporadically. Short lefty green vegan, she/her
My usual hangout. East Street Cafe, Nelson (on Church st). In town to get my eyes tested and half a hour to kill. Iced oat mocha in the sun hits the spot. Ahh...

And now for some good news: My 15 1/2 yo cat does not have the big C! He has serious ibd though and will be on steroids for a while. He's putting on weight and feeling better already 🥳

Pay equity funeral march this morning in Nelson Whakatū. Well organised and attended. Poignant speeches from a nurse and a carer. Many photographers so hopefully the msg will get out there. At the end there were sausages, ballons for the kids and a stall helping folks to register to vote #nzpol

Off sick today with a bit of a cold, but I needed coffee, then I remembered there was a coffee shop down the road (about 40 km). It just so happened that some other lasses were going there for coffee too.

Nearly 12 hours after leaving home, I made it back. Queen Charlotte and Whangamoas was so much fun and a great road to get to know this Queen (well, she is black and yellow). I do have a numb bum though. Might be the first mod! 🏍🥰 roll on Summer!

The adventure begins! Looks like a nice day for a ride...

Partner has flu and I've got a slight sore throat. I really hope I can fight this off by tomorrow as I'm supposed to be flying to Wellington to pick up my new motorbike and ride it home! 🏍🤞

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

This van is hope. Hope for a proper bus service out to rural North Nelson. Had my driver training tonight. It's all run by volunteers and the pilot scheme will go on for 10 weeks. Use it or lose it! Only $3! #Nelson #NZ

Loot from the Sunday market. Score! If my interests could be described in one photo, this comes very close

Safety first. Install appropriate signage warning cast to stand clear so they do not get hit by the flying sandbag on the tab track. #dropbears #theatre

The Ascot costumes and hats were amazing. This was one of my faves. That hat!

My Fair Lady all done and packed out. That was the biggest and best show I've done in Nelson for quite some time. So much love, time and effort went I to every aspect of this show, and it played off. The hats, the costumes, set, lighting, sound. Thank you Nelson for coming out and supporting us!

My office for this evening. 10 items flown for this show! My Fair Lady about to start at the Theatre Royal Nelson NZ. Get your tickets folks. It's such a gorgeous show!

Going in on my bike today. It's 3° out there, but I'm wearing my Secret Santa socks (and two pairs of trousers and 3 tops) so it'll be fine... #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Sorry for the late post SS. Good choices! I love snug socks, especially in this weather. My OH was there too for the opening and we both lolled when I unfolded the socks to reveal the pin 😆 Looking forward to the next suitable occasion to wear both! So lovely. Thank you so much! #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Nearly that time! I just need to have breakfast first. I don't want to rush this! #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

No sign of snow in the South Island, Aotearoa/NZ yet. We're in the pink!

A couple on weaving / crochet for my daughter and a writting book for me. I was also after a sewing one that shows you how make a pattern from your measurements. Had one borrowed from the library a while ago. It was awesome. Never saw it again! I'll try again when it's quieter during the week.

Aurora in NZ. Nelson lights in the distance, south west of us.

So I only just noticed that my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ had marked their gift as not naked, so I eagerly opened the package, and look! A lovely hand-written note. On the other side, a gorgeous drawing of my cat 🐈 😻 I feel like I've cheated a little bit and got my prezzie early! It's very 😎 Thanks Santa 🤩

#MWSecretSantaAoNZ Got a lovely surprise in the post today! So sorry Santa for the late post, but I've only just wrapped mine and it's ready to go. Phew! Now I can slow down and enjoy the Xmas spirit! Oooo the antici...
