If you are going to the library to borrow a book, you might think "Oh, yes, I should take my library card". So many people do not. (Petty whinge about things).

In amongst all the 💩 going on, I had to put my cat to sleep today. She had cancer.

Finished off the Comillas dress from #ItchToStitch. This was the full bust bodice and size 20, reasonably happy with the fit. The cotton fabric is so nice in the summer heat.

Reading about plane crashes when husband has to go to Trumpistan for work is not helping my cortisol levels.

I'm trying Storygraph as an alternative to GR so if anyone wants to connect with me there, my username is the same as the first bit of my bsky handle.

The power has been off all day, destroying my plans for my day off. So making like a cat and dozing in the sun.

What a load of crock this article is. Please note: I don't earn that much and there is stress ranging from dealing with raging abusive bigots to knife wielding idiots. www.stuff.co.nz/money/360541...

Is there anything more childish than a 50 year old yte man saying "I'm 50 years old I'm not a child" when asked to take care of a massive e-scooter propped up precariously against a chair in the Large Print area? Who won't lock it up outside.

Proffered some cat nip I'm growing to Kimiko, who miaowed and ran away. "Do not tempt me with drugs, Mother!"

Not only that, but if the focus is on "fixing the pipes, maintaining footpaths, and addressing graffiti", things like libraries and other social good services will die. Even boring things like consents and licensing which hopefully keep people safe could be impacted.

"If you don't have the literacy skills you also don't have the thinking skills". One student when asked how better reading skills would help, said: 'I'd be able to join in conversations'. I was a literacy tutor back in the '90s.. very different time. #literacy #reading #NewZealand
