Cats, bikes, data, tramping
Mine faces the wall currently, but I'm considering moving it half way along the wall so that I can access the other side of the table when I use it for sewing. However that would involve moving a fully laden bookcase and need some better power management solutions

Sock drawer, but now I'm thinking about why I store my chub rub shorts separately from everything else... 🤔

My friend has a great recording of her doing an ad read for radio and an earthquake hitting. The hilarity of going from like a vacuum store sales pitch to full blown swearing is one of the best things ever.

The adrenaline spike when they go down the cleavage is not pleasant

NZ bars often have bitters, as lemon lime & bitters is a common NA drink here (lime cordial, sprite & bitters), I'm quite partial to a tonic water & bitters as a lighter NA option.

It's a term for the phenomenon when you are struggling to understand or articulate your code, explaining it can help. You don't necessarily need a person to do this with, a rubber duck can be just as useful.

That combination could produce an epic bark. We walk mum's dog on the beach most weeks, and there's often a huntaway chasing seagulls. You can recognise that woof a mile away.

I can't even take the credit for it, the SPCA had a fruits & veges theme going on at the time 😸

Parsnip now does the trust flop down into the gap between my leg & the sofa arm, which puts her in the perfect position for belly rubs.

The sneaking suspicion that the current NZ govt is looking to destroy and the privatise the health system here

What's gone wrong with New Zealand's health system?
Hospitals are bursting at the seams, with doctors raising the alarm about staff shortages, a workforce under intense pressure, and long wait times for patients. Here's what we know so far.

He tried to dry his damp socks by putting them in a plastic vege bag and microwaving them in my microwave. Stank out the kitchen for about 3 days and almost started a fire.

We have a town named Blackball, just down the road from Cape Foulwind.

The SPCA had a theme going, the family in front of me got Turnip, and I know someone else who adopted Mushroom a few weeks later 😂😻

Maybe it's a bit of a Manx thing - Parsnip is heavy footed enough that I asked the downstairs neighbours if they were woken up by her night zoomies

Moth hunting is a helpful service, mum.

A colleague once went about 6 months wondering why I was still with my annoying girlfriend before working out that Vida was my cat.

The Help Me Hera column on The Spinoff might be worth a look

Oooh, I was in need of entertainment for the train ride to London 😂
