Did padwork outside in the CKB carpark barefoot because it's sunny and I'm a New Zealander.

Did some pad work at CKB today. Surreal. Walking around pretending I know what I’m doing but I’m just four raccoons in a big coat

I'm working so only have it on a second monitor but holy hell, what a scrap between McMillen and Mgoyan. Absolute banger start to finish and a crazy comeback for Tommy McMillen after an 8-10 first round. #DWCS

Fluffy just dogwalked a SERIOUSLY good grappler in Roman Dolidze.
Made him so desperate and tired with the rides he got a point taken for grabbing the glove AS he was being finished. Wow. #UFCVegas109

My power and internet are barely functioning so I have done some dad-gardening.
Raising my first seeds in proper seed raising cells, two tomato varieties.
Have an avocado seed germinating so I can do that again.
And seed potatoes sprouting.
I am going to be the batshit old potato man one day
