Chicken burgers with some potato salad I threw together this afternoon. A delightful evening of dining al fresco on what was supposed to be a very wet day.

Its a shame those stats can't apply to homelessness, polluted waterways, substance abuse,, and other socio-environmental problems.

Emerald green is the absolute favourite (so many awful shades of green out there). Also cerulean blue. Any jewel tone really.

My poor partner is 4:30 starts this week. Usually he gets home, showers, and naps. Today (& yesterday) the guys behind our house are breaking up concrete blocks with a jackhammer. The guys across are installing solar on the roof. Don’t think that nap is successful right now. 🙄

I get to see Lenny Kravitz tonight for the first time since my university years in Milwaukee (late 90s). He was brilliant then. Looking forward to tonight in Auckland!

1/2: Hi Secret Santa, I love nature, horses, unicorns, craft beer, single malt whisky, black pudding, rugby, sailing, & very dark chocolate. I’m a savoury person. My favourite colour is emerald green. I wear earrings (hypoallergenic).

When Annika has had numerous Tall Poppies and is tired, a scramble of what needs using on jalapeño cheese bread is a valid adult dinner.
