Two trains sitting at Manukau railway station

My last train from Manukau. Office is moving to East Tamaki from next week 😭

Contractor 'mortified' as fault welds found on Auckland rail network Western and Southern line trains are running as normal after a fault threatened the morning's services.

Crisis averted

(even better!)

Boo! Hiss!

I was guard the day the thief was spotted. Was wondering why setting back for the photo stop was taking so long - turns out they were calling the GM

The $2 hot dog definitely tastes like a hot dog that cost $2

It's that time of year where it's socially acceptable to eat ambrosia for breakfast

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
The carbon monoxide detector was out

Things I learned today: our car says Merry Christmas (in Japanese) when you turn it on for the first time today

Still waiting for my giftee to open their gift 😅 #SecretSantaAoNZ

Even the baby tried to get in on the action and tried to steal my chocolate #SecretSantaAoNZ

(And a shoutout to @greaterauckland.bsky.social in the card too!)

Definitely going to enjoy staring at an artistic rendition of a project I've been following for around a decade now while munching on the best chocolate known to man 😉 #SecretSantaAoNZ

Peekaboo #SecretSantaAoNZ

It's opening day! #SecretSantaAoNZ
