New Zealand... we need to chat. Other countries settle for a scrawl of the sausage and plums.
But you with your can-do energy and optimistic DIY spirit said "This needs to be mixed media! This needs perfect 3D spheres! This needs ACTION!"

Manners cost nothing.
And that does not change on a Public Holiday when someone is working and there to help you.

Lily passed away today.
I only had her a few months, and I don't know what killed her, I found her in the run this afternoon when I went to check on them while it's raining hard here.
Very sad to have lost her, she was beautiful

First dental appointment in years (pre-covid) and I have very sensitive teeth to the point I need local anaesthetic when it comes to cleaning etc
Only upper teeth done today, so my upper lip was numb, and floppy; wife thought I'd had a stroke 🤣
