#SecretSantaAoNZ Sleuthing Part One:
My house is the home of Midnight and Jasper. They are rescues, who have lived with us for 2 years.
They are foster brothers.
Midnight turned 3 in August, and Jasper turns 3 just after Christmas.
They miss our Mum, who died in August.

Our first dahlia!
Bittersweet, watching them come up - as the flatties chose them together.
I can't remember which ones Mum chose - but we all chose this one.

Laundry is away!

Laundry is away!
I have to put weeks worth of washing, and months worth of jewellery, away.
I've been like this my whole life.
But, I just can't find the motivation to do this shit. Same with my desk at work.
Lazy. Untidy. Or, neurodiverse?

I read 78 picture books!
And attended NieceH's art exhibition in her hallway!
50% of the sale go to Forest & Bird.
Bought one painting, and some of her children's art and craft, too.
I bought 9, the wrybills.
