Otautahi seems to be going through the menopause

The rules are this rules

Omg can I just live in boring times... Please and thank you

Bloody buses. Missed the ferry. 20min wait for the next one... Boooo

Ferry has got a fire on the TV to distract from the 4°c brrr

Just watched Star wars (a be hope) for the first time with 8yo - he liked it Realised mid film that I was watching on 3rd may #maytheforth

👀

It has finally stopped raining! I'm not sure any roads into otautahi Christchurch are open....

Right underneath that big blue bit

Plenty of spots have already reached over 100 km/h southerly winds, with things picking up in the lower North Island this morning and remaining strong throughout the day💨💨 The strongest of the winds look to ease by tomorrow morning (but still remaining breezy!)

Did you miss out on secret Santa. Let us know immediately and we might be able to squeeze you in. #MWSecretSanraAoNZ. Otherwise we’ll be doing it again for proper Christmas. @secretsanta.nz

Lincraft has a sale... Gonna be making some pants....

Are bluesky trending topics related to my interests because #thearchers has been trending for a few hours and I have questions....

Hi Santa I like sewing (dressmaking not quilting) and crafts when I have time. Fantasy audio books/film/TV Dr who, LoTR, discord. Excited to be part of this again. Such a wholesome community event. Thanks Santa Xx #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Where can I buy Dr who sewing fabric? Selections at NZ stores is poor #sewing

Just having drinks at the viaduct on last night in the north island... Wow there is a lot of black smoke coming from the north shore #kikorangi

One week until we announce matches on the 24th. So spread the word around that Secret Santa AoNZ is all go on Bluesky for MidWinter 2025. We don't want anyone here in AoNZ to miss out. #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Watching #theboys. Crikey, this is uncomfortable close to what is happening (fewer supes tbf)

This is so real lmaoooo "She booked a solo trip to Iceland while you were composing your <<good morning>> text" 😂😂

Bay of islands... Not quite Fiji but delightfully close

Off sailing round the bay of islands

Staying with my friend at her MILs farm. It's nice and all that but turns out MIL requests a $100/n koha. It's vaguely irritating as this is probably the only maori word or custom I've ever heard MIL use (sits on the table, puts an s at the end maori etc)

Well the power went out overnight. 4square in Cooper's beach is on generators and doing a roaring trade. Will be doing Easter crafts today

Well I'm glad I'm not on a sail boat in this weather. It's a bit of a shocker up in Northland

Sailing trip postponed. Absolutely filthy in the far north!

Ok so northland holiday is the same as otautahi summer. Wet Boat trip postponed and I've just bought pictionary and family trivial pursuit as that's our next two days

I'm already sick of NZF trying to ape MAGA. Trying to drag us back to the systemic bigotry of the 1950s is terrible. Junior and Associate ministers should not be able to arbitrarily conduct hate campaigns against the LBGTQi+ community. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Would anyone in AoNZ like these mesh insets + patterns to make adorable little open ended play houses? They’re free and I’ll email the pattern to you too. I haven’t the time, patience or skill to complete this project unfortunately. I have two sets + pattern. DM me if you’re keen.

On board flight to akl. Northland here we come... Hoping for good weather given the mostly grotty summer. Looking at you otautahi

Fantastic. World needs more Rage like this

Currently rowing with Alexa who is staunchly declaring that the south island population is 2,018 people I am starting to get abusive

Did I just use custard powder to thicken a sauce? Yes. That happened
