Hopefully I’ll be moving into the vicinity in, oh, 13 years or so.

Absolute dream

Can anyone vouch for this? I’m 14 pages in and it’s… not compelling

To be fair, the cicadas are trying hard.

Who has got all the birds? Not a single one in my garden. I miss the cacophony.

The straw that broke the camel’s back for me hosting an Airbnb is the last guest, who gave us 5 stars, but private messaged to suggest I could spray the insects “around the property” (ie outside). It’s 3 acres and I freaking love the insects. We’ve worked hard to encourage those pollinators.

Heck that’s so beautiful. Dream spot.

Lots of people have had a good old moan to me about Thorndon Quay being a complete shitshow, so I was somewhat expecting some element of it being a shitshow, but it looks pretty much the same? Heaps of parks? Bike lane?

At least Penk provided a good reminder that I need to change the business address in my Instagram bio

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Continue funding Estradot patches in New Zealand

share please. 4 different boner pills are funded. ONE Estrogen patch that doesnt work on most people that need it.

If Netflix would like to sponsor me for a lifestyle of chatting to magpies, I’m here for it.

I keep saying to Glen “remember that time the magpie found your hearing aid, this week?” And we’re both like, woah

Your brother must’ve given one the stink eye. I’m certain they’re full of bonhomie and good intentions.

Conversely I look after the playlists for Wanda Harland. We don’t generally play Christmas tracks but I’ll make an exception for Last Christmas 😘

I saw a TikTok recently where someone had befriended a whole lot of magpies, it’s my mission now.

I know!! But there’s nothing else I can think of. We’ve mowed since then and friends stayed. My wise Aussie uncle said “that’s what they do”. Saved a second insurance claim this year 😅

Glen lost his hearing aid 4 weeks ago while mowing our 3 acre paddock. It just appeared on our doormat. I honestly think it was returned by magpies. There’s no way we wouldn’t have seen it, and they’ve been tearing up the mat. I love them.

I mainly miss its usefulness for when I had any given question about any given thing (like “does anyone know why the police are on Victoria street” or whatever)

I so happily deleted my twitter, be gone history!

The train I was on had 2000 passengers (the guard was counting so we asked her) (I'd say at least 90% protest bound), and that was just a one train from the Hutt. I think easily 50k people, and more likely nearer 100k

A fake PEOPLE magazine showing that they chose Fox Robin Hood as the sexiest man alive

Holy shit they did it

I’m not online enough to have worked out how threading a post on this thing works

I know. Shooketh.

@beckeleven.bsky.social omg I’m so chronically online. I don’t really know how to explain, but there is a young woman who was being interviewed and said “you hawk tuah spit on that thing” in reference to a bj and is now a famous character in this episode of the world.

Kudos to the young folk.

I think if a large sector of society knew their peonies wouldn't bloom with that sort of temperature rise, they'd take some immediate action

Someone just asked if I closed my store in town because of WCC, lolz. No! Because of the actual government. And also because my lease was up and I'm just not that energetic anymore.

I just want to live in a city where people aren't obsessed with parking and blaming WCC on everything. I'm not even in Wellington. A certain generation is just IRATE at the moment, and they're not fun to have in the shop.

5am is a very inconvenient time for an earthquake in terms of getting back to sleep. Family group chat is going off.

Social media is trying to steer me towards it, today I got a reel that yarrow (achillea) is named after Achilles
