Good people! I missed my introduction! 😄
I am your (ir)regular crazy person 🤪
I like outdoorsy stuff, (Technic) Lego, puzzles (not classic jigsaws; more the brain-melting 3D type), & general cool or silly or clever stuff you can find 😁

😠 Some-one (with more knowledge than me...) needs to do a deep dive into Winston Peters' history (particularly the Beehive Lawn Occupation) & find photos of him standing next to *people* he's forgotten about.

I've started playing Borderlands 4 (on PS5), & I am NOT a fan of the changed in-game menu system 🤮
BL3's menu system was good! Why make such a mess of it?

In honour of our Bird Of The Year, this one hangs out near Arrowtown (I've met it several times; assuming it's the same one 🤔).
This was taken with my wide-angle lens; it let me get very close 🤯
I forgot to look if it was banded 💍😬

Nicola Willis on Breakfast:
".. Greens are losing members..."
No, the Greens member was hounded, harassed & threatened until they left for their own safety. That's a very different thing to "losing members"! 😮
When was the last time a RW politician had to leave because of threats?
