Don’t mind making lunch for a crowd when this is the view from the kitchen - Pounawea tranquility (would be nice if it got warmer than 13 degrees tho)

It's here! Thankyou #SecretSantaAoNZ and all who organise it :) Such a lovely thing. Doggy is "protecting" it - don't worry I have removed away from him. Also what lovely handwriting my Secret Santa has!

I'm a tea gal - favs are T2's black teas. Do love a chai latte...& although i get teased about it I love Canadian Clubs
Some people have already covered this in other posts, but for the Santas that need to know specifically.

As a former archivist for a local authority I feel for all the IM peeps & Archivists who now have to deal with a merging of records…coz that went really well in 1989 (it did not) & now info is so much bigger & digital which costs lots of $ to deal with…URGH

A new question for today #SecretSantaAoNZ

#SecretSantaAofNZ yay for a match! I have no allergies. But I hate black liquorice 😝. I love all chocolate. I like plants indoor and outdoor (and have a pretty good vege patch and glasshouse).
