My husband took a quick pic with a mega lens. Doesn't really do the colour justice though.

We had a family holiday in Fiji for 6 days. It was incredibly beautiful. Lots of fun & wonderful experiences. The highlight was the snorkeling on a day trip to stunning islands.
We've come home with upset tummies but hopeful it will pass quickly, & thankful it didn't start til our day of departure.

It's our last visit to my folks' home as they are moving in a few weeks. We have visited there for holidays since my kids were little. They're now all teens. So we recreated a few photos. With some magic, in this pic, my 13 yo son is walking beside his 2 yo self.

My husband and son made a pumpkin pie for husband's work TG lunch. Son made the pastry - he was so proud. I got a leftover piece - it was really good!

Parliament probably 122 seats if TPM win 4 electorates? (TPM is currently on track to win 4 electorates). 62 seats required for a majority in a 2 overhang parliament (NAct 61) - so Winnie or a minority govt?
October 14, 2023 at 11:14 AM
NACT on 61 seats now, down from 63 earlier. They have the majority but with no wiggle room. Green's back to 14. Labour 34.

Let alone the fact that under 30s can't get more than 1 booster, so immunity has prob diminished massively.

Currently reading: Starling House by Alix E. Harrow. Early days but so far: great.
I absolutely loved The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Once and Future Witches - both 5 star reads for me.
