Wowee. That was totally uncalled for. What a dick.

I was thinking that. We could have a truly awesome anti-Trump protest. It would probably be heaps of fun.

I'm going to book flights up today. Yay.

But *climate change isn't real*...It's only going to get worse. We're looking at taking out a new fence because of the wind. And, redesigning a bit of the garden.

Our neighbour's tree has salt burn from that storm...In Newtown. The whole top side of it has died.

One of our kōwhai was blown to death, another has partially blown over now. All our citrus are denuded. It's a bit depressing.

Regarding a second shot at the mayoralty, Chung says it's too early to say. "This job [as a councillor] isn't as satisfying as previous jobs I've held. I'd like a job that gives me a lot of satisfaction. So I'll consider it."

The absolute gall of the man. There are a number of genuinely good people who missed out on being a councillor (myself included), whereas this absolute buffon throws it in our faces with comments like this. Unbelievable.

Bah. I have one of these. I've been h
getting joint pain and hit overnight again. Thankfully that's the worst of it. I really want a list so I can check my next script.

Reckon everyone will be outside at Parrot Dog.

speed hump...

Sounds cool tbh. Delightfully nerdy and interesting. And, it's your birthday so you can do whatever you want.

Me too. But not all my friends fall into my category and I struggle with casual - and overt - discrimination against the rainbow community. I can't actually comment on the AoNZ group but I wasn't a fan of the language being used by administrators in the t&Cs

I got a vibe from the t&Cs when I went to sign up. Maybe I'll just do it anyway for a while.

I'm hearing about more batches on the radio now. I really want a published list. I don't want to join the Facebook group. It seemed a bit hetronormative...But, maybe I need to. I've had joint pain and sleeplessness last week in particular.

That he only properly spoke out about AFTER the election. He's already so disappointing.

Thank you 😊 AM at Rā Whakamana now. Will read, and rage, later.

I really wish articles like this were not paywalled. They are too important. Did it mention the Royal Commission recommendation and any action on that?

I am so over it. Arrrgggghhhhhh.

I am so outraged. I was working in the Crown Response Office but had to resign earlier this year. I thought it would be a place safe from doing mean things to people. I was wrong.

💯% It is an outrageous denial of responsibility and truth.

Yes, he began from Cook's visit, through He Whakaputanga and post Treaty including some of the significant breaches. It was super informative.

That Bill was misnamed, really. They stretched to link most of the changes to the Commission's recommendations.

The Ultimate Guide to Better Sleep With Sleep Scientist, Dr. Sophie Today, we're joined by Dr. Sophie Bostock, a leading sleep scientist. We dismantle some persistent myths and discover the secret to a good night's sleep.

I listened to this the other day and found it helpful. I've read all Dr Spector's books. zoe.com/learn/sleep-...

Went to a 🤯 te Tiriti course with Paul Moon today. I learned SO MUCH. It was fascinating, educational, enlightening, sad all at the same time.

Oh yes. Love potatoes in all their forms. This is a delicious form. (My snow peas basically blew away today, btw)

maybe their shoes blew away?!

They are different to the others person's post though. It would be great if Pharmac listed the batch numbers complained about.

I found these: Batch 5403 – mentioned in relation to patches not adhering properly. Batch 5411 – some users noted reduced effectiveness and poor stickiness. Batch 5422 – flagged as causing symptoms to return.
Batch 5430 – complaints about adhesive failure and inconsistent hormone delivery

I just rescued our green waste bin before it flew away. I don't understand how people are so lazy with their bins. I suppose some places on lower Mein just store them out the front. We have also inherited a doormat!
