It's Christmas Pudding day tomorrow.
Fruit is drowning in brandy tonight.
Most ingredients are already measured out and waiting as it's gonna be as hot as Hades tomorrow, and the least effort the better.
Creaming the butter & brown sugar will be the toughest part.
Think of me......😅😅

Oh Santa, my Santa!
Look what arrived today!
A delightful bundle of Santa Surprises done up with a luxURious green bow!
The top one is soft and squishy and has no smell so I'm thinking it's not a marshmallow, but I could be wrong.😊

Now Mark Mitchell & Commissioner of Police are trying to say its “aspirational.”
No, they were firm commitments that aren’t delivered. #nzpol

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty.

This is what turned up for lunch at one of the schools in my rohe today. It probably meets some of the kids’ carb needs, but other than that it’s hard to see how it could meet any other nutritional needs.

Luxon pitches for “tens of billions” of pension funds for motorways, prisons & hospitals, but the deals are too small or infrequent to garner interest; PPPs are also poor value for money for taxpayers
