Quite greenie leftie. Likes to ebike bravely around Tamaki Makaurau. Knits socks and makes marmalade. In the back-biking-trails-again stage of cancer recovery. Old enough to have a Gold Card. Tāngata Tiriti.

In sync at last. My and my beloved's bikes are both on 7938km. We'll try to stay in sync until we get to 8000km.

Completed! Thanks again to my #mwsecretsantaaonz. I'll now take a walk to my local SPCA Op Shop to give them this one and spend $6 for another. Jigsaw puzzles are the gifts that keep on giving all year for op shops.

In my opinion the Brits are the world champs at insulting. Here is a compilation of some of the verbiage tossed at a contender for leader of the Tory Party a few years ago. All from a single social media thread.

I had this weird dream about a ruckus in the NZ First caucus when one of them was outed as trans.
(Yes, I often have political dreams. Wish I didn't. They're discomboulating.)

This week I clocked over 7000km on my ebike that I've had for 2y 9m. Not a bad effort I reckon given that during that time I've had 3 surgeries and months of heavy duty cancer treatment. My trusty ebike is my sanity saver, my fitness/activity foundation, and my main mode of transport.

My 'hood. Please don't raise these new speed limits, unless you actually want to revert to terrorising thousands of school children, other pedestrians, wheelchair users and people riding bikes.

Happy new year.
My NY resolution is to find out if there is a way to fix my busted munted phone camera lens without buying a whole new phone.

"Resentful single male weirdos" is a phrase that deserves frequent use. Your challenge is to saturate the internet with it and get it trending. Or at least get a few hits on Google.
