Any special technique for the kotukutuku? None of my seeds came up so I might need to try a cutting…

Good to see you here! As far as I can tell it’s the main bastion of NZ Twitter escapees. Slowly building, fingers crossed it can fill the hole the dead bird has left.

I feel this so much. I have this awful tendency to christen any new knife with a finger slice. I have nightmares about it, which are invariably more terrifying than the actual inevitable event. And then there is the accidental but regular kitchen burns 🤦‍♀️

Self-crusting silverbeet quiche. Super quick and easy and can add or change ingredients depending on what is in the fridge.

Really hoping it’s not that long, but not holding my breath. At least I’m feeling a bit less rubbish today.

So if anyone is in doubt about the reduced isolation period, I got the official text today saying my isolation period has finished, and here is my RAT from this morning. To be fair, I am still feeling pretty unwell, and I’m not planning on going anywhere.
