Just got on a bus and sat down in my favorite seat. Reader, it was soaking wet. Instead of trying to reassure me that someone spilt their water bottle, the driver said that it must've been the old man that just got off the bus.
Retched all the way home, showered, clothes in wash on hygiene cycle.

Just had a Tui come into the house here on Waiheke. That was a novelty.

Is it just me, or do funerals make other people want to hit people? I don't ever want to hit people at any other time.

I am heading back to Waiheke in a few days and I feel I should get myself a bathing suit to make the most of beach accommodation, but I am NOT GOING SHOPPING FOR A BATHING SUIT WHILE IT IS SNOWING!

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

The thing I can't help wondering is, are the Epstein files a dead cat distraction from something even worse Trump and/or his regime doing or already done?

Third time lucky! I'm on my way home after a fortnight in Auckland ended up being a month. And yes, I know the small loquat tree I have in my hand luggage is an invasive weed in Akd, but it's allowed in Otago!

Elderly parents living on a pension - also very proud so I signed them up for a bonus card with the nearest supermarket. Every few weeks I put money on it and then they get asked if they'd like to use their balance - they think it's from points they've collected.

Never seen a single Star Wars film or related TV programme.
I have not seen an episode of The Wire or of either version of The Office
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

This morning I was exclaiming whatever outlandish product would they come up with next after reading the article about wine for cats; this afternoon I had the answer when my nephew came back from the shop with an ice cream in the form of a crumbed chicken drumstick.

Random thought: You really wouldn't expect to find the worst designed shower/bath in a home valued at $5 million, would you?

This sort of thing isn't new, but technology makes it so much easier. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Showed up a bit early for our local library monthly book sale. There were a lot of people all lined up. What I didn't realize was how many of them were "book scanners." As soon as the doors opened they ran to their designated sections with little handheld scanners, scanning every single book...
