Grows trees and trans kids.
Loves coffee, elephant jokes and leaf slugs.
Usually found at uni or op shop.
Our chook zone has become a tad post apocalyptic. Which is normal but it's also the view from Reys window.

So we're planting the destruction zone in grasses and flax (all gifted or resited)

I am not a fan of living 'naturally'. It's utterly overrated. I very much enjoy my processed imported coffee. And lollies. Also breathing, yay asthma meds!

(Also if you feel like you'd benefit from hrt, ask for it. You don't even need to see your regular dr. Just use one of those online drs)

I can't see removing people's summer break as a vote winner.

Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

These. Written by my Dad for me. His name is Cliff Browne.

The Fifa peace prize looks like what it represents. Grasping hands pulling the world into the underworld.

I mean. They're not wrong.
(I am very excited about Ikea and will be getting a bee toy for Xmas!)
I’ve just been told the Dutch children’s news site has an item about it. The headline is: “Celebrations in New Zealand Because of New Shop”.
Thanks, Jeugdjournaal, for making Ao/NZ sound like the most benighted backwater 😄

Nearly finished Xmas shopping. Nabbed my Mum a silk scarf by a NZ artist for $1 (she dresses in an entirely chic way. Unlike me 🤣)

I really wish experience didn't lead me to have to always double check meds, side effects and interactions.
Ffs.
On the plus side I'm really good at reading thunderously dry but useful med research 🤣

You have to zoom in but there's heaps. Even more at the top of the tree

Every Xmas we put out the knitted Xmas pudding.
Knitted by my step mum for me as a joke a loooong time ago. It's not Xmas without it.
December 1, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Of course we do. Given Michael's shoes and my general vibe, it won't be a shock that we love some glitter.

We're doing 2nd hand xmas this year.
Just got a couple more pressies to find and we're sorted.
