sometimes i worry about my old cat, she's getting dribbly, and slow. but then she drinks her little dish of pet milk and goes wild scritching about in the old cardboard box in the dark living room. she did just sneeze though.

there's a person in the octagon, with their face fully obscured, dancing around holding an israeli flag and a nz flag, kinda spinning around. there's also a known local vagrant/odd feller sitting on the stage doing his gestures and muttering. people, eh?

mondays are the weirdest day of the week during non-holiday time. and then donovan appears and the slow horns behind him really add to the surreality.

ya'll GenXers really need to turn down your phone volumes i shouldn't be able to hear the person hollering at you from across a room when it isn't even on speakerphone mode. don't turn into your parents; take care of your ears.

i am an insurance broker, >15yrs. our government, incl regional govt, has a lot to answer for while insurers get the blame from media and laypeople. big issue is that climate change, coastal erosion, new subdivision consents are not addressed as a unit, leaving homeowners in the shit. #nzpol

i just remembered something last week that i experienced for the first time. i said something utterly stupid, and bust out laughing and blushed so hard, and everyone laughed and then we just carried on. and it was fine. and the feeling of warmth was so different to feeling warmth from rage or tears.

the octagon duck seems to have a wee limp, but that doesn't stop her waddling around checking every single person and wrapper and grassy nook and pile of dried leaves for a sneaky food. and her lil flippers slide on the pavement bricks sometimes. i love her. i wanted to buy her a waffle cone.
