THE RAIL ENABLED HYUNDAI FERRIES FOR I REX WERE MEANT TO ARRIVE BY NOW.
Instead we have no rail enabled ferries, the two we have are clunky as fuck, and there will be no replacement ferries until 2029 at the earliest.

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.

Dear cruise ship visitors to Wellington,
It's not a wise idea to walk across the buy road especially in front of the big yellow people carriers.
Try honestly explaining the case to your travel insurer if you need to claim for ignorance gained injury.

How does supermarket #milk have such long #BestBefore these days?
Bottle bought yesterday is 14th Feb. That suggests it was bottled at least a couple of days before the 31st Jan.
Back in home delivery days if milk wasn't used in 3 days it was off!

Guess what late-onset lactose intolerant numpty had cheese rolls at the pub last night, then followed it up with ½ a 4-cheese pizza?
On the plus side, the new cafe around the corner does no 🍕s with 🍍.
