If anyone had asked me to guess what the top of the Premier League table would look like at this stage, it would not have been this! Especially impressive from Sunderland, given they were in League 1 as recently as 2022!

When Nanoleaf discontinued their square smartlights, I put my plans for building a Zen display on hold then I spotted these today. Damned sight cheaper than the Nanoleafs too. Now, where can I get a suitable dome from? :-)

Photos from Spring Into Tawa yesterday. Second year in a row it didn't rain; inconceivable! Seems to have expanded (lot more food stalls for a start) and moved a bit South along the main road.
Key learning: Poultry In Motion really means it when they say the Splashback sauce is seriously hot!

One last Choctoberfest dessert push. Sadly, the Raspberry Rizzler has run out at Cafe Kaizeb but, on the other hand, labelling the Knickerbocker Glory a drink is a bit of a stretch.

At Kai Tahi with @aeshna.bsky.social for Burger Wellington round 3. We both went for Indoplus Kitchen's Love Mie but great signage from Meltdown Burgers!

@aeshna.bsky.social has been sending me photos of this young seal who's taken up residence along the waterfront and seems to now have settled down near Portofino/Master Kong where we spotted him napping, with a small admiring audience.

If someone had asked me to guess where in New Zealand would be the place I saw robot waiters, it would not have been Cobb & Co!
For the record, taking shelter in here with @aeshna.bsky.social because North City mall had a fire evacuation!
