Made it home from the cabaret festival and made it safely inside the house just as the heavens opened. Now lying in bed listening to rain pounding on the roof and hearing the water tanks overflowing... 1/2

Words to live by

Where do I submit my application for aunty of the year award? Niece went on her first Cub Scout camp last weekend and envied the leaders’ camp blankets. I pulled her grandfather’s scout blanket (from the 60’s) out of the cupboard but it was too scratchy…

Some roles are made to be broken, but not this one…

I can think of a few #nzpol this could apply to in the current government

Aucklanders (especially westies) - this could use your support. Submissions close on Monday.

Explain your username: Look, I’m not sure I can even remember for sure but I was ~14 and choosing my first ever email address, and it could have been inspired by either Dr Seuss or Sublime…who knows? (Despite the name, I’m neither a bully nor a heroin addict) I guess I could change but 🤷‍♀️

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally?

This, for me, is the essence of ANZAC Day…remembering the tragedy of war and doing all we can to end/prevent
