I am super easy. No allergies or restrictions. I'm not super keen on aniseed & the only things I do not eat are sweetbreads (which is highly unlikely to be sent, right?!😁) And to combine with another prompt, my favourite colour is red but I am a colour freak. Love 'em all
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

#SecretSantaAoNZ Right, hobbies - so I like to garden, listen to music (I stream bfm in the provinces), read books. I love home made - craft, produce. I'm a sometimes knitter/crocheter, make jam & sauces. I LOVE new recipes (send your favourite) 🎅

There is now serious talk in the US of them resuming air-burst nuclear testing in the Pacific.
Are we seriously going to remain an ally with they are showering us with nuclear fallout?

I remember when asset sales were gonna lead to mum and dad shareholders and now we just have mum and dad paying $500 power bills in the winter. The right wing ideology is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’s useless. It improves nothing.

I don't know if Speaker Brownlee has a spine or not, but this embarrassing display of faux-civility from another sad little man emasculated by a feisty woman strongly suggest he's a cockless wonder. #nzpol

In my "spare" (lol) time, a group of us in Whanganui have been organising our small, but (we think) perfectly formed Book Festival. We'd love to see you in the WAG this spring!

Went to see The Materialists tonight at the movies with a bunch of girlfriends, thinking it might be some dumb fun.
It was not fun. And so, so dumb.

Just really, really bad

We took our tired assessment out to Porridge Watson to see Pitch Black play. So good. Sore knees from the boogie.

Yay for #MWSecretSantaAoNZ
I'm a crafty cat lady - I knit & crochet (although I am "between projects" right now to give my hands a rest) I love books, chocolate & earrings. I will love anything sent to me, I think this kaupapa is so cool & am so happy it's back!
