We’re home from the worst kind of vet visit. RIP darling Casey. You brought us so much joy and love for almost 15 years. Our home will be so empty without you. 😭
My Fitbit thinks I went for a 10 minute swim at 6.15 tonight. Looks like cooking dinner counts as exercise. 🏊♀️

Do you remember The Saggy Baggy Elephant? My brother and I used to listen to the flip along book and record over and over. Here it is for old time's sake. 🐘

Saturday morning catch up with friends over coffee at the garden centre, then we bought basil seedlings and lettuce and cucumber seeds. I love how our friendships have evolved. #MiddleAge 🌱🇳🇿

One year since we bought our home. It's been a tough year (and we dearly miss Casey) and most of our plans have either changed or are on hold, but we're very happy to be here. 🏡

My dad was born with a bang 79 years ago today. Growing up, I always thought the fireworks were for everyone celebrating his birthday. He's requested a chocolate mousse birthday cake this year, so today is baking day. 🎂🎆🍰🎈🥳

A few hours in the garden before the weather turns again. We tidied up the area where Casey is buried in a quiet corner of the garden. Mr Weka has dragged a big rock from the front yard to make a headstone for her grave. Jeez, we miss our little girl.

My cousins have lost their roof and have evacuated the whānau home in Newlands with two very at-risk patients in tow. Stay safe, everyone.

Another very expensive vet visit, with round 1 resulting in hospitalisation and a very sick little pussy cat on IV fluids. 😔

I’ve arrived at my coffee meeting with an empty toilet roll in my pocket, because I clearly forgot to pass the recycling bin on my way out the door. 🧻

An automated call from an AI bot, apparently 2degrees calling about my "Telecom account". The AI bar gets even lower. 😠

Police knocking at the door at 2.45 am looking for someone who “is not in trouble” but definitely doesn’t live here. Googling the name … he has quite a profile and 200+ properties to his name, so why register himself as living here? 😳

I’ve just been through all the local government voting information. Jeepers, there are some real cookers out there, vaguely disguised as sane and rational candidates.

I'm looking for a synonym about setting something free. AI suggests 'discumber' and all I can think of now is this. 🥒
