Loving the sky especially 😍, wow.

We're loving your Charlie books 📚
I'm carefully timing finishing book 2 with the end of school which is rapidly approaching

12 here, got a hottie to get my back going today 👍

I'm curious - one or more per year?? And where does one find a cat that doesn't destroy Christmas trees!!?

Secret Santa has been the only unknown gift for me too.
Glad you are taking part, hope you enjoy the unknown!!

I also get a delightful naughty feeling leaving school during the day... even if it's just for sushi!!

Thank you - I had forgotten that name. The plant shop had it with labels calling it both! Same plant, in different locations and different 'names', same botanical names though! One was $1 cheaper too.... weird huh

The Detail had a podcast about this within the last two weeks or so, related to takahe I think I recall?
Very interesting 👌 I will see if I can find a link

In NZ they are a luscious turquoise, my absolute favourite bird.
I love their direct flights, straight to the point (food!) And up to safety, repeat.

I'm hopeful that the parents were helping their fledgling up to safety 🙌

Brilliant, great spending. I put in a NZ cranberry a wee while ago, really hoping it thrives as they're yummy

That's amazing to me. I'm going there for the first time ever late January. I'm guessing they are all deep in slumber by then. (I would love to see one sometime!)

Really??
No way 😳

I remember. Shocking. Yes, the scattered wreckage was and still is hard to see.

My dad's colleague was wracked with guilt having been unable to fly quite last minute and their seats went to someone else. I'm sure there was some relief there too... nothing easy there for anyone involved

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:
Kangaroos
Elephants
Hedgehogs
Crocodiles
Foxes

It sure was, the sign was still at the tip last time I looked 😆

Any chance part of the Mount Cleese tour??

It's the time of year when I have extra paper ruled up as a calendar because my diary is too small...

... and bananas are good eaten fresh for 5 minutes and then brown
