And we’re both winning the lottery, how’s that for long odds? COYS.

Local water done haphazardly. The nz government going to the international bond market for 80Bn to fix everything was the move. if only we had bi-partisan infrastructure agreements instead of election wedge issues.

Thanks! Sounds awesome.

Sounds good, open freezing like cherry tomatoes?

Bright red habanero chilies in a tray.

Habaneros, now what to do with them? #gardening #aotearoa #nz

If they left a sticky black mess they’re ink caps for sure.

Looks like an incap. Checkout Fungi of Aotearoa by Liv Sisson or Google or the app iNaturalist.

Not going down, still got a decent squad albeit lacking creativity atm. Sometimes they up their game against strong opposition. Let’s hope.

Probably saved my life so always be grateful to Jacinda. Saw her in NYC a while ago, so humble; a rare quality in a Polly.

Spurs at home . That’ll learn ‘im.

Do nothing democrats.

A grandad, daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law stand in front of a fake background in silly pirate hats.

Why are they all grinning when we are supposed to be fierce pirates? #escaperoom #teawamutu #aotearoa #nz #fun

Duh!

Welcome to the club. Still writing?

Yeah, I got ‘em! Delicious.

The Nats eh? More ferry cancellations. More water infrastructure problems for ratepayers to fix. Making long term investment decisions a political issue is dumb as (but wins elections!). Time for a bipartisan solution. #aotearoa #nzpol

I have an idea. Try passing the ball to players on your side that are preferably in front of you. Worked well for Villa’s first.

Autumn sage, grasses. Bright red crocosmia in background. Hint of a gravel path. Silver birch trunks. Leafy background.

Nice.

I boycotted the last couple and I won’t watch this one either. Not unless things get back in some semblance of normal.

Same but used Google to identify the show and get a synopsis. Not cheating I hope. Have 175 day streak.

Well he’s very much do as I say not as I do.

New Zealand summer. Closed for business.

I’m in the Waikato, maybe it will survive winter frosts but I didn’t want to risk it.

Three hot pink hibiscus flowers against a leafy backdrop.

Such a pretty bush, have to keep it in the greenhouse in winter though. #nz

A plum tree with near-ripe Louisa plums, a stray self-seeded avocado photobombs the scene.

Who’s gonna get them first, the birds or me. #gardening #aotearoa #nz

Harrison Ford:
“Trump doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me.

The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy.

Trump knows better … he's making money … while the world goes to hell…

It's unbelievable. I don't know of a greater criminal in history"

So you don’t like Canadians generalising about Americans but you feel free to generalise about Canadians. Have I got that right?
