Ian - happy old kiwi

Family, electronics, photography, fishing, renovations, distilling, brewing and a happy old kiwi grandad.
Relative to income a block of butter costing $8.60 on minimum wage is equal to the Frontera CEO paying $1055 a block.

The prime minister would pay $91 and our two right-wing knowalls, Peters/Seymour pay $60.

The fact that these four men can't do math normalization is staggering. #nzpol #bhn

National is now fiddling with a suite of its own historic knee-jerk legislation and presenting it as ground-breaking work: RMA, NZCEA, open-plan schools. #nzpol

Added a fire brick from the historic Bunner coal mine to the collection of interesting stuff. I unearthed the brick while breaking concrete in the backyard.

Wow... the US Olympic equestrian team flanked by the synchronized swim team at MacArthur Park. Both teams seemingly choosing burka over pink thongs is a bold choice. #USpol #ICEmeme #mockICE

Frying up fritters tonight: Corn, silverbeet and parsley with parmersan egg and 50/50 corn flour and regular flour.

Simple, nourishing, economic and OMG rather tasty.

About soggy fruitcake rumors - some people say Trump's a soggy frutcake... I don't know... but people do say that... a man phoned me... strong man... tough man... with tears in his eyes... said... Trump's a fruitcake.... soggy one... I said I don't know.

Plans not promises - isn't it time that we stopped voting for talk and promises by politicians. If they can't put forward plans with funding breakdowns that can be understood then we are simply voting in a beauty pageant where dress, style and eloquence are the only criteria. #nzpol #uspol #ukpol

Feels a bit like America grabbed Bunker/Buster munitions when they really needed Mountain/Buster-Bunker/Busters.

The right-wing lies to cover their flimsy grip on a precarious position.

The US Supreme Court is where it is today because of two moments in history:

1/ Mitch McConnell lied
2/ RBG wouldn't retire

So... Iran keeps all the uranium and nobody can shot at it without breaking the ceasefire they wrote. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

I let Tess choose the walk tonight. First she went on a smell tour of trees and posts checking her social media for likes (she's coming on heat). The she took me to the lake (I'm like noooooo). but she didn't jump in just selected a log and took me to the field to chuck for her. Joy #retriever #pets
