The company which makes the traps I really like is having 15% off their possum and rodent traps. While I've seen a lot of things I'd like to gift to others on sale this month, this is the first Black Friday deal I'm REALLY tempted by for myself.

Realistically, would you be interested in 2-3kg of spray-free New Zealand-grown bananas delivered to your door if the total price was:
- South Island: $45 (2 day)/$65 (overnight)
- North Island below Auckland: $35
- Auckland-north: $30?
The lion's share of that cost is the postage, for the record.

Having just put the weekend's catnip orders together it is apparent I have sold out of everything I prepared earlier and I will need to prepare some more in the morning. Sorry if something you were looking for is out of stock, I'll get onto that. I still have catnip to clear.

Oh, my local power company who are about to double my daily fixed-rate lines charge to over $4/day before we even use any power are issuing $100 credits to each customer because they made so much profit?

Started the day by putting my foot directly into the pile of cold cat vomit that was deposited under my desk overnight 👍🙃
Grateful for having enough balance and flexibility to hop to the nearest sink and stick my foot under the tap.

Oh my goodness gracious, it's taken months to make this baby Christmas tree, but I have made the baby Christmas tree!! Now that's off my plate, I can start working on the handmade portion of my Secret Santa gift.

Music - I love a mouthy woman. Been listening to Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Doechii, Self Esteem, and Chappell Roan a lot this year.
TV - Drag Race is probably my only "fandom" these days. I've been watching Ghosts lately. Also enjoy a bit of Taskmaster.

This one might require a few replies to answer, at least for me.

If socks, wool socks, for gumboots. Size 9-10.
No slippers please, socks are plenty in the Far North. I have a largish head and do wear caps while I'm working. I'm a size medium glove. T-shirts probably go with a 16/L because I'm currently shrinking. #SecretSantaAoNZ

Another question for #SecretSantaAoNZ
While you're here, what about the size of your head for hats, hands for gloves, clothing size for anything else you might like.

It's just hot air without targeted funding available to more than just DOC. Pest control is expensive if you're self-funding. Not to mention the investment in research. Generally, this government isn't investing in the science, people, tools, or communities required to make this remotely realistic.

Hey there Aotearoa Bluesky fam.
I can replace a collar on your fave, worn out shirt. Usually this is friends & family only but it's *such* a good "person who has everything" Christmas gift and I can fit 2-3 in before then if you mail em in. I've got navy, black & white linen.

Dear #SecretSantaAoNZ. I would be delighted with home-made, second-hand, and eco-conscious gifting of all kinds.
I've been answering @witchnwords.bsky.social questions, so they're not far to scroll if you want any of those answers.
My website might have clues too. It's linked in my bio.
