When we arrived at our favourite cafe there was a Tesla in the carpark and all I’m doing now is trying to work out who in here owns it

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Black Doves? It's like Keira Knightley's revenge for every second of Love, Actually.

It has taken me way too long to remember that ANZAC Day is also a holiday in Australia.

So this guy was demonstrating his angle grinder to a friend and basically nearly cut off his hand. Clinician used the phrase "On the other hand" and I started laughing and hadn't stopped yet when he said, "Typically in angle grinder injuries..."

I will take the freezing cold overnights when they result in gorgeous days like this one. Also, I just won an Excellence Award at work, which I am sure only coincidentally coincided with my manager being on leave... Anyway. Good day.

My latest finished project, which I absolutely love.

Working on dictations for a sleep specialist who, I shit you not, cannot stop yawning.

I am assuming that this is the reason for Winnie's latest douche move.

I forgot my work password this morning. It's the same password I've had for the last five years.

Yeah, the first thing I’m going to need that dickhead to define is “biological” because I’d bet quite a lot of whisky that he can’t.

It's days like today I remember one of my favourite ever speeches given in the NZ House of Representatives. #NZPOL

Today I performed one of my favourite family traditions. I snuck into my sons’ rooms and hid chocolate bunnies. They’re 27 and 29.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

So, I think something might have gone wrong with this job ad somewhere? Location: Auckland City, Auckland. Location of Employment:30th Judicial District, Wellington, Kansas 67152 www.trademe.co.nz/a/jobs/offic...

You know what? It was making this show that led me to understand that the gender binary was just a load of bullshit (sorry I arrived so late; I grew up under Section 28 and its tentacles were decades long): it didn't make any sense to me in language. Then I realised nor did it make sense in life.

Oh cool, Jill fucking Ovens being used as a talking head for the second time in a week.

Primary-aged kid with a heart condition in a family with four first- and second-degree relatives with heart conditions including a death in 30s. Wait time to first specialist appointment: 19 months.

Here we go gang. Thursday May 1st. 9pm. We are back at it. #taskmaster www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain...

Patient with serious gynae condition and a ferritin so low it barely registered gets initial gynae appointment after waiting TEN MONTHS. But at least she won't be called a person?

Man, lucky health in NZ is in such good shape the Associate Minister has time to focus on language policing...

Poor Brian probably should have googled what 'nō' means before he made himself the joke. 😂

Christchurch peeps! Missing Pounamu "Hi Ki Ora my brother misplaced his pounamu - he is unsure how or were but please if you find it please return it - this is an incredibly special piece and he is gutted" He frequents: "Lincoln, Papanui, and the hills for walks." www.reddit.com/r/chch/comme...

Went to have a drink of water and hiccupped at the crucial moment and anyway now there's water everywhere and I'm dead.

I should thank David Seymour really for causing me to resurrect the phrase "hoofwanking bunglecunt".

It's a gorgeous Autumn day, I have to work, and there could not be a labrador staring out the window more mournfully than I am.

And lo, the trailer did drop: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2... #murderbot
