You KNOW the traffic is gonna be absolutely shit, it’s the day after a huge storm, so don’t arrive at the doctors half an hour late and expect to be seen immediately, you should’ve left earlier and/or called us from your car to say you were running late😡 we’re going to have to squeeze you in now.

☺️ these are really great-so sweet straight from the pod.

Good pickings tonight from the crop of peas I never planted. These are just growing wildly in the pea straw around my strawberries😋

A paragraph talking about Epstein‘s diaries stating “,,,,and the other for women between the ages of 15 and 17.”

I had heard other people commenting on this particular use of words, but have now just read it for myself in a Stuff article that came directly from The Telegraph, a newspaper who for some inexplicable reason have chosen to use the word “women” when describing children aged 15-17.
What
The
FUCK?!

Thanks will do 😃

I’m putting one of those washing machine cleaner thingies through my machine which means, of course, the next few loads will have a little bit of black shit all over them-honestly there’s gotta be a better way. I usually end up doing 5 cold washes of just an old towel just to pick up all the crap😩

A headline on Stuff, via the UK , that says “UK Beauty queen crushed to death while unpacking her car”

…. an absolute tragedy that could/should have been reported in a different way: eg describing the person who died as a
student, a young woman/person, a much loved daughter/sibling/friend….
But, no, the newspaper thinks the most important thing was being a beauty queen four years earlier😡🤯

Not worth claiming Insurance, as my excess is $500. Just really fucking annoying especially as a month ago somebody clearly backed into me when I was in a parallel park in Petone & I didn’t discover till I got home that they’d dented in my front grill, and not left a note on my windscreen of course.

I would’ve thought it was pretty basic sensible behaviour that, when you open your car door on a windy day, you hold onto it really tightly. Unlike the guy who parked next to me at Mitre 10 & let the wind whisk his car door BANG straight into mine. No dent but scuff marks on the paint😫$$$

Yeah, mate, cause your having a gun would definitely have helped the situation….🙄
Fucking Americans and their attitude towards guns.

Just saw Nick Cave at TSB Arena ❤️

I’ve no idea. Is 31st Jan some special occasion that my neighbours not about and I don’t?

Some absolute fucker is setting off fireworks very close to my house. It’s 11:15 pm 😫How the hell have we STILL not banned the sale of fireworks?

Sadly we both did!! Time for trips to the optometrist??

…when you and your friend have grabbed tables at opposite sides of a cafe without noticing the other….& both think the other is running late 😂

Woohoo😃

I guess so…damnit😫

I thought the next season of Bridgerton was starting tonight!!??!!! I had it in my diary, and I’ve been looking forward to it all bloody day😫

if there's one positive thing you can say about Christopher Luxon it's that he lights up every room he leaves

An email from Genesis energy, about a five hour power shout that had been offered which I had accepted rather than gifting it to a needy person. They tell me they’re glad I kept it while some people chose to give it to others.🙄

What kind of bullshit is this?
Why are you “glad I kept them”?
Does that mean that you’re not glad that some people chose to gift them?
Why make it an option, then?
To me it sounds like “while nice people chose to gift them, you, bad person, did not”
You’ve no idea of my financial circumstances😡

I get so bloody frustrated. I will get him back in (free appointments) for some basic diabetes education, talking about carbohydrates, glucose and how the pancreas works (or doesn’t work) etc. We’ll talk about long-term consequences of high blood sugar. I’ll do my best.🤞🏻

Let me get this right, you’ve stopped taking your diabetes medication because you’re “not sure it’s safe”, and you’re not sure you really need it…but you’re sprinkling cinnamon on everything because somebody (you can’t remember who-you read it somewhere) said that cinnamon reduces blood sugar😑

Second ICE Minneapolis protestor shot dead identified as nurse Alex Pretti | RNZ News Federal authorities insisted 37-year-old Alex Pretti "approached" agents with a pistol and then "violently resisted" being disarmed.

As America under Trump slides towards fascism, & our government MPs support & emulate him, none of us are safe. We must turn the tide in ‘26 – with our voices, votes, bodies & hearts – or prepare to face the consequences. Because what’s happening there will come here

Wise!

Sent that pic to my friend (my
old housemate who knows this place well and who has herself experienced the nightmare of a Gisborne cockroach in the bathroom at night)
She replied:
“Just burn the house down, claim insurance and move cities”
Which I agree is a sensible response👍🏻
