Have put up cob (clay) walls in a house, put up a yurt. Can use a chainsaw.

Ace possum & rat trapper.

Planted over 1000 trees on our section, a lot grown from seed.

Any politician cheering on the US and Israel owns the barbaric murder of the children in Minab.

Especially those happy for the distraction from their own catastrophic 'leadership'.

I remember the Israeli invasions of Lebanon in 78 & 82 and the subsequent US, UK, French & Italian force that went into clean up after the Israelis and left when the going got tough.

What’s next, carjackings in NYC during General Assembly week?

The shutter button on my mirrorless got stuck in the down position yesterday - off to Canon it must go for repair… (more gear out of action ugh) So I had to dust off my old DSLR for this morning’s outing! After a bit of time fumbling around reminding myself how it works, it did a pretty good job! 🪶🇳🇿

Military escalation does not produce the stability the region needs,” he said.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins: attacks ‘undermine international peace'

The situation in Iran is “deeply concerning”, Labour leader Chris Hipkins says.

In a statement on social media, Hipkins said that “Our first thoughts are with the people caught up in this conflict - in Iran, in the

As a New Zealand citizen, I am utterly disgusted, but not surprised, by the comments from Luxon and Peters this morning.

Absolute lapdog shit, licking at the boots of empire and fascism.

NZ used to be respected for our strong and principled leadership.

“The Prime Minister Luxon’s failure to condemn Trump’s illegal actions again demonstrates his lack of leadership or moral courage, and willingness to act against New Zealander’s values. “New Zealander’s deserve better than this. Our voice is powerful on the international stage. The Green Party urges Luxon’s Government to condemn illegal warmongering, and unreservedly advocate for diplomacy, international law, and peace for the Iranian people.”

It's important to champion the increase in bird numbers around Wellington.

But at an ecosystem level, it's uneven recovery. Plants, lizards, wetlands, freshwater fish, pāua etc all continue to decline.

Timeline cleanse, Uggi the dog in the snow

Israel is at it again, this time bombing Iran in partnership with their friends in the White House

As a Jew, I'd love to go a month without having to denounce yet another bombing of yet another country by the genocidal state that falsely claims to act in our name.

AI slop?

TOP think having Bryce Edwards (!!!) endorse them is a good thing 😂 #nzpol

Tesco walked away from talks to take on supermarket duopoly, documents show Aldi and Lidl also declined to engage, leaving the supermarket duopoly intact.

So Willis' RFI to sound out potential competition in the supermarket industry was as much of a flop as the much touted Investment Summit

Tesco, Aldi (who operate across the ditch) and Lidl all said no🤣🤣

Three weeks ago I spent a few days in one of our global dark sky sanctuaries in Rakiura Stewart Island New Zealand. Never has deep time felt so real or so close.

But every now and then one of Elon's dumbfuck satellites would interrupt the eternal rhythms of the stars. Let's not let it get worse.
