My brother bragging about his gross dinner

Screen cap of a messenger chat. There is a photo of some white bait fritters in a frying pan. My reply is "we just had corn fritters. All the fried battery without the nasty little fish"

The best $12.50 I've spent in ages

A small black cat sitting with her back to the camera. She is wearing felt bat wings that are much too big for her tiny frame

The same black cat facing the camera in a bit of an action pose. Her eyes are slightly squinted but that's just her resting face. She loves the wings.

I'm sure he appreciates it deep down

Magnus knocked a packet of m&m's off the table

Chaos

I faint if I change heights quickly so my elderly parents dove to the floor to make sure he didn't eat any 😅

My elderly dog no longer has the energy to care about anything a boring as an earthquake

But my elderly cat now cares a whole lot

He had some anti anxiety meds for a vet visit a few months ago and he got... quite chill

Did you know a common cough suppressant prescribed for dogs is codeine? Pictured is a small elderly Magnus on opiates

When is the government going to do something about the biker gangs rolling into the village?

A bunch of outdoor cafe tables under strings of assorted pride flags. The tables are full of grey haired people in yellow high vis jackets

About 20 electric bikes in front of the cafe, taking space that might otherwise house 2 parked cars

Paekākāriki Puppy Pride

Your town could never

🇳🇿

14yo Magnus won a prize for oldest dog

A stunning sunny day with green grass and blue sky. A square has been marked out with rainbow flags and a hay bale. In the foreground an elderly dog sits in a beach trolley in the shade of an attached rainbow umbrella

A closer view of the dog on his trolley. He is sharing it with human picnic gear and a fluffy toy he won in the pride dog show.

Looks like I've been opening new tabs all day and opening the same thing each time

A special shout out to the customer who came into the store today to tell us my board isn't funny this week 😌

She's objectively wrong

A chalkboard outside a store. There is text "if ghosts aren't real then explain this" with a chalk drawing of a dog wearing a sheet with eye, ear and mouth holes as a ghost costume

It's no stitched literary masterpiece but I'm pretty chuffed!

Learning a new skill and being a perfectionist – a frustrating combo 😅 I undid it.

I started on another scarf and the skein that is supposed to be a gradient had a knot in it with colours that don't blend. So I'm undoing that one too

My first scarf undone and wound into balls of wool

Another crochet scarf. The colours start in a gentle gradient, then suddenly changes from cream to dark red. The dark red has already been partially unravelled.

😔 I can't see anything wrong with the stitches. It just wants to sit like a hole

I'm heaps faster now and my tension is better so I might just start again

4 squares of crochet, each made of a different beginner stitch

I heard this new place could be quite raunchy, but my bubble is pretty wholesome so far. Definitely no butt pics

This was a father's day targeted ad a couple of years ago. I sent the screenshot to the family chat and mum said, "I've already got a copy." Of course.
