I've spent the past three days going through, packing up and getting rid of my stuff. Mentally taxing but almost there.
Tomorrow, Te Anau to Invercargill via Balfour, Riverton return on a friend catch up.

There's not much that would make me pray, but I'll do it for Dolly.

Dozens of wild kiwi are now roaming the hills of Wellington. How will they fare? Following years of hard work, 63 wild kiwi have been released in Wellington. Their challenges are just beginning.

No one's going to make them actually do that. This isn't about ensuring young people are supported, it's about taking away support options for those who need it most.

We practiced community redistribution. That week we were the cask wine and guacamole fairy's :)

If you call it an intentional community it isn't as horrifying. Implied is that you can design it with less hippy bollocks if you want.

I don't think I have the energy to switch again. If Bsky becomes untenable that's probably it for social media and me.

Phew, tourists in Oamaru will walk out in the road in traffic to get a pic of old buildings. It was lucky I was half expecting her to do it.

I think it was rough cast (I did not check).

Best night ever was a bag of avocados, several bags of corn chips and an entire pallet of cask red wine.

Yes, until recently, South Africa. I have since met some who have forced me to re examine my prejudice.

View from a room at Bella Vista, Ashburton. 
A very beige room, with a terracotta chair and the edge of a white bed with a teal throw. The view outside is grey and rainy. The ochre and red tile roof of every Bella Vista motel is visible.

8am. Coffee, then I hit the road.

No angst, and because it is a the absolute known of a Bella Vista motel, no ambiance either ;)
