Well, I didn't know they existed until now. Thanks, do they keep ears warm?

Thanks, didn't know where to start looking.

Slouchy knit hat. I will look that up. Not worried about Spring, we are going into Autumn. A built in scarf could be interesting. Thanks.

I would like to knit a woolen hat, but not a beanie. Wearing beanies is not fun, as I dont like how they feel on my head & ears. My skill level is intermediate. Any suggestions on where to find a hat pattern that is not a beanie.

Investigation Debunks Claims IRGC Bombed Iranian School I woke up on Saturday at 6 a.m. to a text message from a friend that read: “I’m thinking of you. I hope your friends and family in Iran are ok.” That’s how I learned that the United States and Israel ...

I'm seeing heaps of troll/bot comments on FB that the strike on the girls' school in Minab was an Iranian rocket failure.
Here's why that's false:

Nothing wrong with going overboard with cinnamon. That is really good value for some wonderful baking.

I'm ashamed of our government. Today supporting an illegal war is a nail in the coffin.

This is not the NZ of nuclear free, of anti apartheid, of the Treaty of Waitangi Act.

This is neo-liberals and populists run amok. Not the country I want nor that I'm willing to excuse #nzpol

By sewing, I can turn unwanted textiles into useful everyday things. Bread maker and biscuit maker, and general handy woman. Cats like me.

These look delicious.

Could @rocketlabcorp.com tell us if it was involved in the attack on Iran? And if, hypothetically, they would join the US in the invasion of Greenland (the EU)? Would be good to know.

Well, didn't expect to be emailing Luxon and
Winnie, this morning asking them to remove the ambassadors of Israel and USA, before having my breakfast.

I sent one to Winnie, as I know Luxon is unlikely to act.

You should too.

You are doing great. I hope it feels good to see how much progress you have made over the last month.

A stunning white bird flying over a semi frozen sea. There is small chunks of ice in the background. These birds nest in the frozen continent, and fly thousands of miles for food.

I got a house elf. Made a huge difference, and it is nice not being so very tired all the time. I can rest when I need too which has been a life changer.

This is wonderful. Fantastic.

Clippy says: Look's like you're trying to start a global thermonuclear war. Would you like me to decide when to launch?

Looking forward to seeing what happens to Huge Moose.

Tūturiwhatu (New Zealand dotterel) JBZ at Te Henga this morning. After a disastrous breeding season last summer, this is one of many chicks successfully fledged this year thanks to a dedicated group of local volunteers who do everything they can to give these endangered birds a fighting chance. 🪶🇳🇿

I have got to deal with the jungle that is around the fish pond. I can't see the fish anymore from the deck.
Good day to get splashy.

Pale blue iceberg that has a pointy end, and a dark blue arch. The background is grey sky. It's my favourite iceberg that I saw while visiting the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The different shades of blue are a wonder to behold.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I stand in the yard as the sun rises behind me. My shadow stretches out in front of me.

The sunrise shadow contains all you've done, everything you've been. I see triumph, defeat, love, loss, and dreams.

One could get lost; reminiscing, reflecting.

One could.

I shrug and get on with my day.

Hubs♥️ wears one for me.

For over 6 yrs my daughter & I have been involved with our local riding for the disabled group. Like most charities we run on next to nothing & volunteer sweat. Our lovely horse Tsunami needs some expensive vet care. Pls share our givealittle & donate if you can givealittle.co.nz/cause/tsunam...

Sitting in the shade, watching the butterflies land on the dahlias. Cat on my lap. Enjoying the last days of Summer.

Fabulous, enjoy!

Was it open to explore inside?, amazing art deco interior.

Two large white ducks next to tree ferns. The area is shaded. They also know they are not meant to be there, but they don’t care.

Two large white ducks making themselves very comfortable in the leaf covered ground in a small forest at the back of the property. One duck is sitting on the ground and the other one is deciding where to rest. Leafy ferns are close by.

Finally fixed the fence so the ducks stay on the property. Only taken 3 months as I couldn’t be bothered to. Neighbours will be happy, as the ducks had discovered their ornamental fish pond. They are rescue ducks living their best life, exploring every day.🦆🦆🦆
