TFW you tell your bestie (who lives in another city) about the big, hard things you’re dealing with, and you get a message shortly after saying “I’m baking you hugs” and a few days later this arrives 🥹
A collection of goodies - a tin filled with pieces of homemade caramel slice, a box of fancy crackers, a box of Lindt balls, a pair of socks with golden retrievers on them, a pair of socks with squid/octopus on them and 2 lollipops on the shape of octopus.

Was doing some sorting earlier and came across one of my art books from decades ago.
I painted these while I was travelling overseas.
A painting where the bottom half is black fading down to light grey, and the top starts with dark blue and fades up to light blue. Stuck on top are 2 skyscraper style building shapes cut out of white paper. A painting that is red at the top, and then blends down through orange of various shades and yellow of various shades to pale yellow. Painted over the top in the middle of the page is a thick black circle, with 5 small waves similar to a koru going into the middle of the circle.

I kept bribing myself with the promise of a Mozart Ball (kindly gifted by my #MWSecretSantaNZ ) to get to different stages of my thesis — and then when I got to that stage I’d forget and not eat one. But today as I was tidying my desk, I found them again….

Measles is a serious illness - it can cause deafness and swelling of the brain (and other complications coming from that), as well as the rash and being unwell.

Masking, ventilation/air purification and vaccination are your best protections.

info.health.nz/conditions-t...
Complications from measles Measles is a serious illness that makes most people feel very unwell. It usually takes at least 1 to 2 weeks to recover from measles. Complications are common, and 1 out of 3 people with measles will be sick enough to need hospital care. Complications include: • ear infections • runny poos (diarrhoea) • lung infections (pneumonia) | • swelling of the brain (encephalitis) - this is rare but can cause permanent brain damage or death After you recover from measles, your immune system is weakened and it can take from a few months to 3 years to fully recover. This means you are more likely to get sick with other infectious illnesses.

Is it a bad idea to pop the paint blister? I’m guessing it’s filled with water from the rain….

CW: a reminder that for Babyloss Awareness Week (9 - 15 Oct) many buildings around the country will be lighting in pink, blue and purple. Sometimes they don’t use all the colours, or the way their lights work it can look like Blue & White (or other combinations associated with other causes).
A collage of images of buildings light up in pink, blue and purple. Text below the collage says: This year for Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th-15th October) we are again lighting up landmarks across Aotearoa mawhero (pink), kikorangi (blue) and poroporo (purple) to remember our precious babies. This is our 5th year doing this Below is a list of confirmed landmarks so far for this year (sadly some of our previous landmarks are unable to be lit this year due to being out of order or previously booked).
