I love books, films, cooking, gardening and nice smellies.

I share my house with the gorgeous Miss Zelda Clarke, aged 2.5 years. She's a cheeky little minx and I love her deeply.

Whittakers Brandy Snap choc is a pretty good time. I'm not normally a milk choc fan, but I can make a seasonal exception.

It appears that tonight is the night for every inadequately-endowed male in the greater Sydenham/Somerfield area to either let off fireworks, race their lowered RX7 around the block, or blast shitty auto-tuned American rap.

Shame on their child-sized undies.

Great weather for a day off! A couple of hours in my Dad's garden hand-weeding and planting corn & radishes, annoying interaction at Dr's surgery, grocery shopping, lawn-mowing, housework, watering etc etc.
Time for a shower and a lady's lie down.

Yesterday my younger brother (55) was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Too early yet to know prognosis, treatment plan etc, but in the last 24 hours I've used the stress to justify drinking on a Tues, being late for work, drinking on a Weds and eating Biscoff cheesecake.
This doesn't bode well.

Ōtautahi folks: does anyone have a contact for a mobile coffee truck/cart that could do a 7.45am gig for 15 people in Kaiapoi on Tues 18 Nov?
Coffee Skillz is fully booked.
Your help is much appreciated!

The schadenfreude is just DELICIOUS.
In situations like these I like to say 'hung like a rogue cashew'.
I'm no Lambologist, but I suspect this Lambo driver in Auckland today is gonna need more than the little box on the insurance form where you draw the accident...

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a GIF.

Cool idea. Good thread.
You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.

If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."

And if you can't do either?

Just had not one but TWO middle-aged men in my office mansplaining how to make the perfect coffee at me.
I feel SOOOOOO privileged.

Can't even express the SQUEEEEE.
Zelda just brought her comfort toy, the fluffy she came home from the SPCA with - 2.5 years ago - clomp, clomp, clomp down the stairs, miaowing with it in her mouth, so she can knead it on the couch with me.
Does it GET any cuter?? 🐈‍⬛😍🥹

Best time of the year. 🍽

There is a LOT of unintelligible baseball nonsense appearing on my timeline.
I guess this is how I, a kiwi, find out how many USians I follow on BSky. It's clearly the price I pay for my Trump schadenfreude addiction. 🤣

Grilled Indian spiced chicken thighs on lightly-saffroned rice, with minty cucumber yoghurt & salad.
It was good. 🍽

Otautāhi folk, how's the weather where you are?
Aside from the occasional gust and shower it's very calm in Sydenham.
Have we got off lightly?

I've got two days off in a row tmrw and Fri - a weekend in the week, if you will - and I am SO EXCITED about it that I've already removed my makeup, changed into my inactivewear, and turned my alarm off.
This new job is great, but 4 weeks in my brain is full & I need a rest.

Send me Sauvignon Blanc, STAT!
On reflection, all those 'fixed it for you' headline rewrites you all did were correct

So tonight, during a 'discussion' with my mother and I, my father announced that 'you people' (aka she & I) are brainwashed by the Hamas-controlled media to erroneously believe that Palestians are being murdered en masse by Israelis.
Fuck's sake. Is 80% of the western world similarly hoodwinked?

MYOHK:
Make your own healthy kebab.
AKA protein & low calorie veg with flavour.
It's bloody good. 🍽

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand:
Offal
Twister
It's Oh So Quiet - the caterwauling Bjørk.
Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, & one song you can't stand

Cauliflower
Star Wars. The Phantom Menace
Ebony and Ivory
Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, & one song you can't stand

I'm vegan so there are lots of foods I refuse to eat, but out of things I can eat then capsicum of any colour.

I choose Emasculator!
What fun! 🤣
Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

WHAT a productive Sunday! Got up and went out to Rolleston for a work meeting that went well, but of retail, mowed the lawn & tied up my toms, planted some corn in Ted's garden, did some meal prep, and SOLD THAT BLOODY ASTRA AT LAST!!! Didn't get much but better than nowt.
What a winner of a day.
