Where can I get a gardening fix in ÅŒtautahi? I used to have a garden and mini-orchard up north but am currently adrift.

Does everyone on Bluesky Aotearoa go to bed at 10pm?

Nice to read a positive story: www.rnz.co.nz/news/country...

Geez this building is an insult to the senses. A temple to misery. I travel past it most days.

Valentines Day and all through Aotearoa, men are racing through the supermarkets, purchasing small cut roses and three packs of cellophane-wrapped lillies.

Have we beat inflation?

I think this is, on balance a good call by the judiciary: www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/janet-dic...

I like this policy at my local bike shop’s workshop - hanging around and annoying the worker triggers an additional fee.

I bought fish n chips today and I included a request for a potato fritter in my order. They gave me only one potato fritter.

I’ve just met one of my new neighbours. Within two minutes, she was briefing me on local house values and the couple over the back fence, with a sub-dividable section likely selling up soon and going to a retirement complex. No prompting from me. I didn’t get to ask about the weather.

Exploring Dean’s bush. He’s done a good job on it.

So many small but brilliant, life enhancing services in Ōtautahi. Today’s one. Want to cycle to town but worried about bike theft or the hassle of lugging a lock? Use Locky Dock for free.

What country or region produces the best curry dish?

I’ve been exploring different routes to cycle to work. This tree-lined section of Linwood Ave is one of the more pleasant runs. It’s a relief to be entirely separate from the cars.

As soon as it’s the New Year, Xmas trees should be taken down. Particularly if they’re in a public space. Before Xmas day it looked tacky. Now it just looks sad.

Decided to try a Korean hotdog to see why someone might want to ban them. Donut pastry filled with cheese, studded with potato chips and sprinkled with sugar. Ugh. Yes, ban them!
