Margy p.

It's lovely. It has a really nice line, too.

Gunna keep my sign up to annoy them all!

Napier, only a 20-minute drive from Hastings, and it's worth it.

Morning coffee in the garden time of the year. Wish everything grew as well as mint!

Masterpieces. Such beauty.

A line up of dehydrated chilies. A hot mix of reds and orange.

Capsicum colours. Trying to think warm today.

That hospital pass at the end from Bishop was chef’s kiss 😘.

The road cone (non) issue is two things. 1- a blatant popular distraction to (insert list here), & 2- rode cones are a trigger. They represent the call to take care of your own driving and worst of all, to consider other humans. How dare we be reminded to be caring and kind!

We said goodbye to Pearl this morning after a gallant fight with leukemia. She was such a sweetie.

It makes such a difference. Especially to MH.

A bright pink bromeliad flower with little purple florets. Large- as big as an arm.

This beauty is as big as my arm. The plant is a gangly nondescript bromeliad with leaves about 1m long. Thrilled it has such a corker flower.

Picturing your cat commentating your flatulence! 🤣
Yes, there is probably some fine print on the packaging to suggest the possibility of some side effects.

Winter gives unusual vibes in the garden.

It's probably his own.

Wild Horses.

You wish.

A piwakawaka under a grapefruit tree.

I won two games of darts today, against two blokes.
Earlier in the day this chatty piwakawaka busied itself in the grapefruit tree and let me take a couple of pics.
I'll take that as being a good day.

Jesus wept.

An old ship wreck boiler in the sea with several large pieces of driftwood with about 20 shags perched in the sun with Waka ama teams in the background and distant hills and mountains create a winter scene.

The most shagalicious spot in Ahuriri.

One fluffy tabby and one black cat perched on two level fences in the morning sun.

These two vying for the best spot for first sunlight in the garden yesterday. No sign of sun today, alas. #Dennis and Pearl life. 🇳🇿🐈‍⬛🐈

That's a true gift.

Love that he is using two brushes.

Zygocactus with two different coloured flowers.

Helps if you put the pic in doh!

Same plant, different colours. 🇳🇿🌱

Quite uncanny too, as we have indoor and outdoor monstera.

Monstera wrapped presents on top of cat in front of the fire

Fantastic gift of hand crafted earrings and tie-dyed tote bag in vibrant rainbow colours, on top of cat in front of the fire.

Fabulous hand crafted earrings and gorgeous colourful backpack type tote bag. Absolutely ❤️. Dennis helped model before and after opening. Love the cat card too. It reminded me of one of our old pusses. Thank you so much, my secret santa. I'll enjoy wearing and using these. ❤️
