Whaea Fi

I have long dreamt of this scenario. Staying at a lodge.Breakfast brought to my room. Maybe a Christmas card. Helping with Breakfast prep in fancy kitchen. Relax in room until 1.3pm. Bring out hors devoures, bring out entree, sit and eat,and drink, too much. Retire to suite with left over trifle.

ICYMI.

The pay equity changes are absolutely a trial run to see how far they can push on women’s rights.

It’s incredibly important not to obey in advance.

Will I see you on Friday at Rolleston?

Omg, I'm grumpy as fuck! The news, the world, my finances, Mr Me's health.
I'm heading to Melbourne on Friday, and it better fucking deliver joy and excitement. And cheese and art and laughs.

So the minister that announced the concept of a plan about ferries in December is now announcing a concept of a plan about supermarkets.
Unless my memory is failing me, I seem to recall Labour, when in power, were taking action on both these things.

Is it mean to say that when I read yesterday that a tearful RNZ announcer announced her immediate departure, that I was hoping it might be a morning report announcer?

Awesome! Happy to know it really is effective. I'm wondering about getting certification so I can do it in our village.

I'm a non-Maori white South Islander. With a small bit of land. I'm prepping by ensuring we can live off grid, while growing food. I ain't handing anything over to the US, China OR Russia. I will offer safe harbour to the victims of invasion.
But I'll need some of your coffee to keep me going!

Gives me a fighting chance to get away!

Just arrived in Welly, and it is indeed glorious here.

A question for the Minister of Education.

Does she, in her role of ultimate responsibility for education, have confidence in her associate Minister and his comments blaming woman teachers, that have been present in New Zealand since the 1850s, for oppressing boys.

Seymour knew about impending Libelle collapse for five days - and still didn’t tell education minister Erica Stanford only found out about the liquidation of the lunch provider through news reports, despite the ACT leader and the PM knowing for days

This is something you get fired for.

Tag. From New Zealand.

We called this Bullrush.

I'm thinky SeeLess and Luxthumb should probably steer clear of Stanford for a few days...

Ceylon!! How colonial. 😊

Highly talented dog, using her talent.

I was very lucky... Not ready for a while.

What a great story. Love it. Given this was the beginning of the golden age of flying with luxury passenger aircraft as standard, the Herc would have been the change of vibe.

Truckloads. But Matty has blocked me, so she won't see my answer.

What a memory! When was that?

Yeah it was pretty obvious they weren't built for comfort. Or for women. The toilet facilities were.... rudimentary.

Today, I was lucky enough to get a look at the Herc at Wigram Air Force museum. OMG, I was in heaven. So very very cool.
