I voted for Kerrin Leoni but not with any great enthusiasm. I won't vote for Wayne Brown and abstaining means he'll get in again (he probably will, but at least it won't look like everyone supports him.)

I spotted this duck and her ducklings at Lake Rotoroa in Hamilton. She was being very protective so it was hard to get a good shot. I got this when she was distracted by the nosy pūkekō on the right.

Always amusing when racist white people object to Te Reo then go on to say that they're a "kiwi". What language do they think "kiwi" is?

I also encountered a dead whale on a beach many years ago. Not an experience I'd want to repeat 🤢
I am in Hamilton this weekend and went to the Tamahere Market, which you would love. Lots of interesting stalls, people, and SO MANY dogs.

An old friend, sadly gone, was a gay man. He used to tell the story of his school days when most of his friends were girls, and the response from the straight boys was "You must be a poofter - you like GIRLS!" RIP, Brett.

Alcohol acts as a disinhibitor, so drinking or drug use can trigger violent behavior. But they don't cause violence because not everyone who gets drunk becomes violent. And not all abusers use alcohol or drugs.
