Should have put my headphones in my pocket, then I could be sitting here in this bar listening to the lotr audiobook. But oh well, bar chatter is nice too..

To be fair I have not had many but I think randomly stumbling across the world premiere of catching fire on a drizzly evening in london while I was trying to find my way back to my hostel probably takes the cake.. saw jennifer lawrence, josh hutcherson, and liam hemsworth and a few others..

This government needs to be held accountable at the same level they held the previous government accountable to. We would have had 2 brand new ferries here by next year. Now we still don't have confirmation on ferries or timelines. #nzpol

I am once again BEGGING people who make websites to fucking try use them first. Trying to book a campground. There's a stupid chatbot with an unclosable 'need help? Ask away!' Voice bubble. Which covers the 'book' button for the rooms. Wtf. Why. Go away. I do not need a chatbot for book a campground

Having written a book on the history of passenger rail in NZ, I am familiar with a LOT of boneheaded transport decisions that had serious negative consequences for NZ, and the cancellation of the IREX ferry contract is looking like it will be right up there with the very worst of them

At least four other people I work with have the exact same shorts as I do for work. And it's not like they're a particularly iconic single style, it's just one type of macpac's walking/running shorts. It's almost an unofficial uniform at this stage 😂

My sister got my duvet put in the post for me today and when I go to queenstown this weekend I can pick up my new feather mattress topper and pillow and winter sheets so next week I'll have the loveliest softest warmest beds in all the land.. for now, I will get into this one, which is cosy enough..

Watched a couple of simpsons eps, joined the work fam for a lovely lasagna dinner and hot apple cake dessert, was almost asleep at the table. Now am in bed with a cup of sleepy tea, listening to the falling rain and return of the kind audiobook. May or may not make it to the end of the chapter.. 🥱😴

I had one of those days when many little things were adding up to make me really very annoyed and frustrated and ragey to the point of nearly crying.. then a few kea flew over when I was very nearly finished and.. well then I was okay again. Now I am a sleepy bean and will be having an early night..

I don't understand why, when I cast from disney to my tv, it crashes SO FREAKING OFTEN to the point that I can't even control it anymore. Both of these companies are multi billion dollar giants. Their tech should not be this buggy.

Trying to organise/make sense of the massive pantry that upwards of a dozen people regularly use.. it was a complete disaster with multiples of open things and random stuff everywhere. So now trying to decide what's a 'logical' way to put stuff back so it might keep some sort of order for a while..

Just randomly burst into tears because I thought about how much my mama would love this job for me and how much she would love to hear all the little things I've been getting up to. Ah man. Still miss you my mama.

I have a set playlist on youtube I just named 'weekend music' which are songs I love but don't own, and I play it.. most weekends, while I'm bumbling about the house doing bits and pieces. I always play it in order, and my brain has started anticipating the next song, which I love..

Damn, I don't know where my cute little europe sketches and things are, I thought they were in my art gallery box but this one is just birds and things. Might have to set up a different part of the wall fo europey things later on.

Okay, it is time! I have opened my present and omgosh, thank you my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ! I didn't have much Christmassy stuff here so this was the best I could do for an opening set up. (The kiwi is part of my present)

I did go to bed early (on time for a good work schedule) but woke up ridiculously early (before 6am) and then eventually went back to sleep and have just gotten to being awake again. Will go get myself some breakfast and a cuppa and then open my present!

Literally just saw someone say 'I hate when you ask a person a question ONE TIME and they take it as an invitation to talk to you leave me alone I'm not interested!' Like... how do you expect to ever make any human connection if you don't talk to people more than one time?

Someone asked me if I had plans for my day off tomorrow and I was like oh yea I'm going to the library and I'm going to get a hot chocolate and I'm going to do my laundry. That's it. That's the plans. I also think I'll try cook shared dinner and maybe looking at cleaning/conditioning my work gear.

I need to get a large package from feilding to franz josef and it is proving a bit of a logistical challenge. Mostly because I was stupid and forgot my sister was coming to by brother's place and could have brought a suitcase for ME to pick up from my brother. I just want my duvet! 😭😂
