Flashback to high school when Winston tried to get my teacher "disciplined" because she ran our Amnesty International group that all wrote letters him about Ahmed Zoui.

A reminder about the perils of presuming to speak for mana whenua, no matter who you are (just don't).

PSA:
The Westport A&P show highlight this year was Duck Herding. It was everything I hoped and dreamed.

Given this article in Stuff this morning www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605... you might be thinking Granity sounds like a cute place to buy, sea erosion is probably not that bad.

This is what happened every king tide:

I think I'd rather try my luck with the vets, seeing as they actually do provide 24hr emergency coverage in the district

This is literally the greatest Father's Day the Dads of Westport have ever had

This is what was shown to me today, alongside people taking bets over who could run me down 🤷‍♀️

I mean if you can't see me, nice to let me know this this was kind of a bummer??

OK I need to know if I'm the dick, here:

I got cussed out after my run this morning for not being visible enough?? I mean...I'm running alongside the road (not in the lane) alongside a 5km stretch of straight road??

Apart from maybe the load strap and resulting jaunty angle of the ponga arch 🫣

My brother had had to hand raise one of his Arapawa lambs this year.

Today he decided to take it to the beach with the dog and the result was MAJESTIC

Done. But 18km mark calves had a "You need to stop, you didn't train us for this" that became a 7km mental game of pushing past the pain.

Maybe I'll train properly next year 😅

So I'm running the Rocky Point trail race tomorrow. I'm undertrained, barely over the last bout of virus and assuming I'll come last if I finish at all.

With fear of death mid-race on my mind, this is the race number they handed me 😭😭😭
