I miss eating out in the 'burbs in Auckland. From Taiko in Kingsland to Xi'an Food Bar in Balmoral. Man you can't beat those hand-pulled noodles at Xi'an I am frothing at the mouth just thinking about them.

I had a whinge to someone about how hardly anyone answers their mobile ph to take a call these days. Then proceeded to let a call ring out that I just wasn't in the headspace to take right then and there. So, yeah...we all do it.

Right? I don't think there will be any accountability either. Maybe it also simply serves to demonstrate thst worshipping money above all else will ultimately turn you into a demonic, STD-riddled, secretive, possibly murderous and most probable paedophile.

Anyone else feel like the Epstein Files were released to simply confirm the super rich are as foul as they are untouchable? And not a goddamn thing will happen to any of them?

Instead of trying to change the world via control and influence over others, imagine if we each took radical responsibility for our own lives, improving ourselves a little each day. Sadly, the world is exposing just how many people are not willing to work on themselves and be a better human at all.

It sounds delicious. Are you selling or growing just for own use?

Oh my heart breaks so much for Mauao, for everyone affected by this utter tragedy. Those hot pools so special, to you, to us, to all who had the pleasure of being able to go there. I really should take you up on it after all these years. Msg me your name pls and I'll make a booking! X

Have had a terribly misaligned low back/sacrum for two weeks now and finally have an osteo appt Mon morn. At the beach just now I sat up in the sand and felt two 'pops' way down low and the relief is AMAZING. These are the life stories I have to share now, I'm so sorry #OldPeopleTings

At our local Cafe with my 7 year old son, we're both on our devices. I was reading my horoscope, he's looking up the meaning of diatomic oxygen 😅 one of us needs timeout from our device.

Love these rainy summer days between Christmas and the New Year. It's cleansing, cathartic, peaceful.

What kind of charitable trust hands out NDAs to try and keep their internal mismanagement and their co-chair"s giant ego a secret? One that needs a clean sweep of its Board and leadership, that's what kind.

Erica, here's the definition of activism for you. It's not the slight that you think it is...

activism
/ˈaktɪvɪz(ə)m/
noun
the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change.
"there is growing activism seeking social transformation"

*HONESTY IN LEADERSHIP* Even 'nice guys' in positions of power will tell lies to escape judgement, blur lines with 'diplomacy', avoiding conflict, to save their own face. May the world find and be filled with more Mamdanis. We need real, I'm done with fake half-arsed leaders.

There's a French guy who plays guitar and sings to animals and it's the most wholesome and heartwarming content you'll ever see. They react to his serenading in the most astonishing ways. Plumes Music. Look him up!

Am I the only one who feels weird about foods displayed uncovered in the open air at cafés? Literally everyone breathing and coughing over it at the counter, I find it so unappetising and frankly gross.

My parents are elderly and for any of us kids to pass away before them is such a hard thing to fathom. Moe mai rā, John Boy. At peace now, I hope there's good surf in heaven bro x

The last three weeks have been an abomination for our whānau and friends. We lost my brother Johnny completely out of the blue in late Sept. He leaves behind 2 adult children and 1 teenager, and many heartbroken friends and family members. He was a tough cookie, but fiercely loyal and loving.

I stopped prioritising money a long time ago. Time is where it's at - with family, in nature, creating from what I have at my disposal, and simply being at peace. It's not easy to maintain but it sure is better for my overall wellbeing.
