Careful now, you don’t want to get carried away by the festivities. This is the extent of our decorations - came from Jenners many moons ago.

I’m on -7.5 and my multifocal contact lenses are no longer cutting it. I feel your pain 👓👓👓

Because it is. Ask any Māori.

I have this dress - it’s very nice. Would recommend 😁

A happy wee turtle wearing a pink knitted bonnet that ties under the chin.

I’ve donated to Hills Hats PledgeMe and one of the gifts is a 40% off voucher. I’m hoping they’ll have something like this. www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/869...

Yep, much the same. I didn’t have one done for 15 years, and then only under GA. Self swab is an absolute game changer.

If it was left to me, we’d probably just have toast for every meal, so I leave it on the more expert hands of Mr S.

We rarely throw away food, mainly because @keithshering.bsky.social is a brilliant menu planner and shopper. I hate the thought of spending and then wasting all that money; as a child we sure couldn’t afford to be throwing food out.

Beautiful - love the yellow flowers.

The importance of excessive mortality assumptions...

Left hand plot: 2017-19 average used as baseline. Conclusion: Sweden is 'best' with negative excess mortality.

Right hand plot: 2017-19 linear trend extrapolated as baseline. Conclusion: Sweden is 'worst' with huge positive excess mortality.

The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

A glorious sunset, looking South across Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington Harbour. A tree is silhouetted on the ridgeline of the hills in the middle ground. Wish my phone camera could convey the true majesty of this sunset. There is a stunning depth of colours in the clouds in real life.

Pō mārie… 😍

The photos are great but the alt text is superb.

Russell Crowe as Maximus, looking mean and moody.

In need of some comfort viewing tonight so it’s time for a bit of this.

There’s a touch of Spinal Tap about it but I like it. Is it properly aligned for the solstice and does it come with some tiny druids?

Apparently they were chatting away for a while - just didn’t occur to husband to ask. I would have if I’d been there 😁

Husband sat next to him on a flight recently and didn’t get a selfie. Poor performance all round 😆

One year on, we must question the value of an apology made by a Government that refuses to listen and respond to the voices of survivors.

Every child, young person or adult placed in state or faith-based care should be protected from harm and given everything they need to thrive.

Two black and white photos of a soldier who has received a facial injury during World War I. In the first photo, his injuries are on display. In the second photo, he is wearing a facial prosthetic (mask) that covers his injuries.

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

Don’t often feel earthquakes up here on our hill in Korokoro but definitely felt that one!!

Ordered - they look beautiful.

Having my second tomorrow. Child of the 70s in the UK so no records means I get two free jabs 😁

A happy couple with funky t-shirts.
