I am old enough to remember 2024 when they were crowing proudly about how many people they made unemployed.

Do you do anything with the fur? It spins pretty nice. Takes some washing to remove the smell of death.

Sometimes I think about moving to Australia. Then I remember there's nothing in my New Zealand vege garden that can kill me with one bite.

Pretty standard in nz gov to decide what kind of report conclusion you want, and then pick your authors based on that.

Sadness from Wellington. We had it so good for so long. Now we are barely 25% electric.

I kinda wanna see what happens if petrol was restricted to essential use only. The change in our environment.

The lack of cars, their smell and noise, was the best part of lock down.

Civilians being bomb, school children killed, genocide ongoing... But nz seemingly only concerned at the price of petrol.

I'm thinking I use butter or olive oil? Garlic?

And red wine jus.

Don't want to screw it up. We don't get steak in this house.

A bit of that. But also the clueless who forgot how to think decades ago. The world changed and they don't like it.

I have a years supply of tomatoes (sauce, paste, soap etc) and of onions and garlic.

Probably enough beans for a year in the freezer

I do no have a winter supply of potatoes. But maybe that's okay. I still have last years wheat and rye and barley.

Finally sown the winter wheat. We shall feast on sour dough next year.

The "America hates Muslims" war would be more accurate. I suspect they won't stop at and Iran.

All while they also round up people in their own nation.

Fuuuuuuuuck.
