A magnitude 4.0 earthquake occurred 25 km east of Ashburton, New Zealand on Fri Nov 21 2025 7:50 PM. The quake was 24 kilometres deep and the shaking was light close to the quake. The quake may have been felt in Akaroa, Ashburton, Christchurch, Geraldine, Methven, Oxford, Timaru, and surrounding localities.

Blue Skechers sandals with wide velcro straps and light grey soles.

I've been looking for some cute-adjacent, comfortable sandals to wear on our summer trip (I have KEENS that are comfy but fugly). I'm going to take a chance on some Skechers. They are also a little ugly, but I hope to rock them à la Berlin gallery owner.

Yes — Coco was good at catching them, then bringing them into the house! Their buzzing and her meows of triumph were somewhat hampered by her clenched jaw.

Frogs/pepeketua New Zealand native frogs/pepeketua belong to the genus Leiopelma, an ancient and primitive group of frogs that has changed very little in 70 million years.

I haven't heard of Long Frogs before — here's a link with information about NZ native frogs. www.doc.govt.nz/nature/nativ...
