Behold its gorgeousness! Turned wood feels alive!!
Picture of a large, wooden bowl. It’s made from a single piece of wood. There’s an incredible shine to it.

I mean what kid wouldn’t like a colouring page themed on a cat sitting on the couch, eating chips, watching the cricket!
This is a photograph of a computer screen, it’s on an angle - it is a picture of a cat sitting on a couch eating chips watching cricket on a laptop. It’s obviously ai because the cricket is showing on the back of the laptop.

Summer is a joke.
Merino sweater, merino scarf, wooly blanket and I’m STILL COLD.
Picture of a weather icon (sunny and rainy) and the current temperature in degrees. It says 15.1 and a feels like temp of 11.1

Every single time I’m in this part of town…

“Ra ra…”
Picture of a sign advertising Rasputin restaurant. The sign is high above a shop- there a lots of trolley and power lines. You can see some grey clouds too

Little taste of home in Melbourne - steak and cheese pie, just juice bubbles, sour cream and chives and salt and vinegar chips, vogels, and anathoth farm style pickle ❤️
Homesick much?!
A bag with orange handles carrying all of the above! It’s sitting on a chair. You can see on a table a pie - it has a bright red dribble of tomato sauce on it.

Aftermath of the massssssive winds that impacted New Zealand today. (Screenshot in case the picture changes)
Screenshot of a website. You can see a line of trees that was a windbreak, but has fallen over. There is the following text on the page Live: Rakaia Huts residents told of evacuate as river in ‘significant flood’ Door knocking is taking place as heavy rain in the Rakaia River’s headway has caused it to rise rapidly, Selwyn District Council said. At the top of the image you can see the RNZ logo which is like a finger print in white on a red background and the letters RNZ next to it in white capitals on a black background

Guys, it’s a “windbreak” not “wind, break!”

Caturday
This is a close up picture of a ginger cat, it’s sitting on a bench top, and his tongue is poking out just a little. He’s wearing a yellow napkin around his head like a washer woman cat. He looks ridiculous.

Well I guess Sunday chores aren’t going to happen today…
Picture of a ginger cat asleep on a rainforest green leg and orange striped blanket. Because the cat doesn’t have many teeth left, he has a bit of an underbite. He looks very pattable

Today, attempting to recreate my fave salad of all time, avocado, butter bean, quinoa, tomato, red onion + fresh lime juice.

I’ve given up on ever finding physalis / cape gooseberry ever 😭, so will try a mango coulis with it instead!
This is a picture of the above salad from a recipe book called Ceviche. You can see the salad plated Into a stack, with dribbles of yellow coulis on the side. The plate looks like a natural ceramic on (rather than stark white). The stacked salad is green, browny grains with butterbeans and coriander flecks, and the tomato and coriander is cut up very finely and stacked gently on top.

Getting scoped out by some locals today
Two beautiful rainbow lorikeets close up in a tree - I think it’s some kind of eucalypt. They have blue heads and red beaks, and orange yellow red chests. They’re side eyeing the camera

Kitted up for the #breakers game today
A picture of legs! With orange and black trainers, and socks - the socks are black with basketballs on them. You can see a peep of grey jeans. The feet are standing on a concrete pavement

Needed a bit of sunshine today. Very much missing my garden full of freesias and daffs and tulips
A handmade, ceramic vase, with a few sparsely added freesias that are bright yellow. It’s sitting on a table mat that sort of looks like a star. Blurry in the background you can see four small white ceramic houses, that are different t iconic New Zealand houses, a villa, a state house, a stucco house and a bungalow. They have candle lights in the so it looks like someone is home

Even the local trees are supporting the hawks today

Gorgeous golden wattle flowers - they’re like little puffballs of golden sunshine on sage coloured serrated leaves

This hilarious kookaburra just tried to steal a chip out of my 7 year olds mouth, and then came back and stole a chip off my 6 year olds’ plate. Wowsers.
A derpy looking kookaburra standing on a fence. Behind him is the most gorgeous flowering cherry tree, with pale pink flowers

Definitely from Melbourne now - wearing footy team kit day after a big win 💛💛💛
Selfie of me, grey blonde hair, lemon yellow t shirt with a multi colour shiny hawk on it. “Hawks” is written on it in rainbow metallic colours.

Oodies make the best cat beds.

Dinner last night, cheese for days.
Fondue! Delicious melted drippy cheese, with a long metal fork. It has a chunk of bread with drippy cheese on it. It’s sitting in a red pot on a black stand, with a burner underneath. On the left, a pale green plate with bread chunks and on the right chopped up potatoes

How now
Sections of chopped up and wrapped cheese in a brown basket. There’s a rage that says it’s Gennari Brown cow parmigiano Reggiano - 75.99 a kg.

School disco, enchanted forest theme - so think fairies in wee fairy and animal outfits - and it feels like 8.7 degrees.
The poor kids will get hypothermia!
Temp screen shot - looks like 13 degrees - feels like 8.7

This comment about the Qantas employment case “He described the lengthy legal battle between the TWU and Qantas as “no ordinary case” and said he had “hesitation in reaching a conclusion” as to whether Qantas was “truly contrite or rather engaging in performative remorse” sounds like…

In case it changes I took a screengrab - someone has made all the birbs into little pixel icons! I LOVE THEM ALL
Made on a globe of the world, people have recreated the birds of Tiritiri Matangi into pixel art - which means remaking them into pictures made up of squares. There are so many! Kea, albatross, Kereru (wood pigeon) to just name 3. The best bit is that they have lots of the colours - so the Kereru has purple on it's back, the Tūī has the multiple colours that Tūī are. They have renamed the island "Birb Land" which is basically what it is. As a bird fan, it's a joy to see other bird fans recreate something with such love.
