I just discovered this and now I just want to eat bowls of salad.

Which is handy, as it’s suddenly hot AF here. Hello summer ☀️

More ways my dog has trained me: The polite-but-escalating, “it’s dinner time” breathing.

“I care not you are sick. I smell it is almost 5pm. Chop chop human.”

Fuck a duck. Now I have to cook this fuck in my fridge which is the last ducking thing I feel like currently (doing or eating).

Meanwhile, I broke my no-buying-anything-it-just-has-to-be-moved ban to purchase 8x cushions on FBM because I (probably mistakenly) believe cushions are the answer to any fugly styling problem.

The 82 year old seller grew up in the exact same tiny micro pocket of Aotearoa as me ❤️

Goodo. My elderly neighbor just popped by to invite me to a Christmas do while I was showering & shouting FUCK BALLS at the top of my lungs.

Just as well I’m moving soon. Again. For the 3x in under 2 years.

I’m a bit over the unrelenting stress and pointless drama of 2026.

I did not say you could stop the scritches yet human.

Does anyone else’s dachshund *breathe* at them regularly simply for a) attention and b) “come be RIGHT NEXT TO US” (= attention). All other needs have been accounted for.

This happens a lot when I’m trying to work which can be VERY ANNOYING.

And she’s ceasing the minute I point a camera at her 🤨

Hit me with your best ideas for cooking a whole duck #whatscooking 🍽️

Never done, but I have a 🦆 cluttering up my freezer. I was thinking Peking duck or duck a la orange 🍊, but not sure I have time or energy for either rn. Simpler roast duck and duck fat potatoes maybe?

The tap dancing act that occurs virtually every time I return from anywhere. I had the temerity to be gone for TWO HOURS today.

Meanwhile baby flouff runs around spinning in circles and yelping. Today she legged off with my slipper in her excitement.

Flamenco flouff!

Been preparing for the Aussie summer by making A DIY spider catcher and thinking about snake 🐍 proofing.

In not unrelated news, browsing property prices in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Love my lazy pups happily indulging me in a mental health morning WFB(ed). We’ve had a week and need our energies for more big changes ahead.

Kookaburra! They are just such cool looking little dudes

Baby Flouff gets great joy out of hunting skinks - they’re typically small enough she might even stand a fighting chance.

Not this one 😮

Almost veggie bolognese made in the slow cooker with dried black lentils (and a small amount of smoked speck - hence the almost).

I like it when a little bit of meat goes a long way flavour wise. It’s amazing how meaty this tastes.

I miss having someone to cook for, so it was nice to make even this simple, casual meal for a visiting friend. Roast beef, potatos and gravy with what’s-in-the-crisper salad (asparagus, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, capers & feta).

I wrote a piece about these little idiot loves-of-my-life, and it’s going to be published soon in The Guardian, so that’s delightful 🥰

And I may have found my dream house-cottage with a beautiful garden… although some cashed-up Airbnb investor will probably out-bid me 🤞🙏

New cooking hack: frozen chopped onions & jarred minced garlic. Normally I’d turn my nose up at these. But sometimes it’s the thought of chopping onions & mincing garlic that stops me cooking a good meal for myself. So, F it. I’m embracing the ease. #whatscooking 🍽️

Made this Brazilian Coconut Chickpea Curry because I had an excess of canned chickpeas. Not a pretty dish but very tasty. Also vegan if you don’t add yoghurt like I did.
