Finished watching Adolescence today. It’s such a beautifully shot series with great performances from all the cast with very serious message on how we need to protect our tamariki from the filth of you-know-who..

Once again Derek Guy delivers, with receipts! God I love his dissection!
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I’d kept my prime video subs for #theExpanse but I just can’t anymore. Fuck Bezos and the oligarchies that support #RussianTrump. Now if only I can drop WA.. lots of work related stuff there with my collaborator overseas. Sigh.

Mr. 18 is very disappointed to realise that he has inherited my Asian blush gere.. one RTD and he’s red as a beet!

Ugh my house and content insurance has just gone up by 15% and they made some of the cover optional (aka will cost more) so the actual increase is going to be even more.

Does anyone know how much it is usually the cost of rebuilding average house per m2 in Lower Hutt?

Trifle makers (and ❤️), this is the 1sr year I have to make one. My plan is: sponge cake soaked in Bailey, vanilla custard, strawberry jelly, fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries & then repeat, topped w whipped cream & berries. Is this a solid idea? I am thinking of adding lychee. Yea or nay?

Currently 1/4 the world away so I cannot join the hīkoi tomorrow, but pleased that my tama and husband are going. We also have our friend and his two tamahine from the South Island stay with us so they can go to the hīkoi tomorrow! Toitū te Tiriti!

Show me a picture of the weirdest thing you have found someone put in the fridge/freezer.
Let me start: uncooked instant noodle in the common fridge in Uni…. (We’re supposed to be scientists!)

The dogs don’t like each other much but they hate the vacuum cleaner going more and begrudgingly share a safe lap on Mx. 16…

It doesn’t rain, it pours… we’ve had years of minimum vet visits with our digs and this months alone we’ve already have 2 vet visits, (runny nose on Grub and sprained muscles for Dash). I have to go back today for the runny nose as it’s been 2 mo and she just lost her appetite.. fingers crossed.

Timely reminders that
1) we have ticks in NZ
2) they can find your lovely pet
3) unfortunately there seems to be a new to NZ tick borne disease affecting dogs
4) you can prevent ticks biting your dog by making sure they’re up to date with tick & flea treatments!
