We've been trying to do things to celebrate small wins as a mental health thing.
My partner had a mark on his cheek which turned out to be melanoma. We heard tonight they've got it all.
This is a big win.

A Labour led coalition next year will have soooo much to fix. And they'll never be able to do it fast enough or please everyone. so the cycle will begin again.
something needs to change

Oh gosh. I know from experience how hard that is. Gotta just sit back and be ready to catch her when she falls.

The Prime Minister doesn't have any portfolios so why would anyone email him about that?

What kind of leader do we have that wants people to die hideous deaths to save money?
We've come from "be kind" to "be kind of loathsome" in one election cycle

Yup. I had 3 children - one went through Reading Recovery, one started school with the reading level of a 12 year old and the third just leaned to read like "most" kids.

I read it too. Didn't understand most of it so I relied on those who did.
I thought it was just me as I'm not used to reading legislation

I've been pondering on how a New Year when the harvest is in makes much better sense than an arbitrary day in summer.
Pฤkehฤ new year is imported from the Nth hemisphere, where they also celebrate it in winter.

Wow. The warm and the hot years are getting more frequent and closer together, while the cold years have disappeared replaced by cool.

I knitted some socks for my daughter. They got caught up with some washing and ended up in the drier. They pilled really, really badly, but didn't shrink or felt.

โ€˜Almost untreated sewageโ€™ can be discharged to the ocean under proposed rules New national wastewater standards will allow almost 40 times more contamination by a dangerous bacteria than the standard attained by the Christchurch City Council.
