##SecretSantaAoNZ I like to cook straight from the garden. I'm learning the ukelele this year. I read or listen to audio books while I cross stitch ( nearly finished a 3 year project) I build model cars and bake for charity. I enjoy life, lots of things on my list I want to do. I don't run.

Breakfast Eggs Benedict this morning. I only make it maybe once or twice a year now.
The costs to make are getting up there.
It makes me appreciate eggs Benedict from a café more. Especially when they have a good hollandaise.

Our own ‘war on woke’ is well underway
The latest Gender Attitudes Survey makes depressing reading for those concerned about gender equality. The view that equality has gone too far is strongest among men aged 18-34.

Sharing my bright spot in a crazy work day.
I snapped this picture at lunch time. I have 3 tuis that have taken up residence in my 1/4 acre suburban garden and on occasion 2 wood pigeons too.
When we moved here there were no trees.
Ps. This ornamental cherry tree was self seeded.

Last week I had a nice long weekend out of town with my sister and her cute kids. I was home only one day and awoke sick with a lurgy.
Good news:

It's not covid.

Bad news:
I think I'm allergic to children.
It happens every time I visit.
I suck as a patient
