I should qualify this, by saying that I’m a straight cis woman - and the posts are majority from the same. But those posts I’ve seen from people in same-sex relationships have been warmly responded to and they do aim for gender inclusive language.

There is a huge Australian FB group which might be more bearable. It’s inclusive of gay/lesbian, gender diverse, intersex members. It’s very firmly moderated and woo gets rebutted quickly. Moderated to the point of abruptness at times! Can find by searching “Menopause & Peri-menopause Australia”

Bringing peonies inside to save them from the wind forecast for this afternoon. 🇳🇿🌱

Photo of two vases filled with pink, salmon and yellow peonies. One vase is an old-fashioned milk jug with blue and white stripes, the other is tarnished silver. The vases sit on a cream kitchen bench speckled with grey.

Are you following @birdandbeach.bsky.social yet?

Did you know that that’s our new business name, and that the new website went live last night?

I’d love for you to check out our range of art prints, coasters and tea towels, and of course our calendar at www.birdandbeach.co.nz

An illustration of a massive pōhutukawa in bloom, displayed in a white frame on a shelf next to a potted fern.

A set of four coasters printed with illustrations of Te Whanganui-a-Tara landmarks.

A tea towel with an illustration of a rather round Kiwi lying on the couch, remote in hand, watching the telly. A small grey Kitty is snuggled up, and through the window the Avalon Studios tower is visible. The tea towel is hanging displayed on a line overlooking Te Awakairangi.

The front cover of the Bird and Back 2026 Calendar features an illustration of Oriental Bay in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, with the fountain playing.

Favourite peony this week - tree peony ‘Spellbound’. Huge blooms 20cm across when fully opened, flamboyant, fragrant. 🇳🇿🌱

Photo of a flower of woody peony Spellbound. The bloom is a vibrant pinky apricot fading on the outer petals. The flower has just opened and is one day old.

“Don’t type while high post-surgery” was a lesson learned recently by my husband. He wrote nonsensical emails to family.

Needs a lot more dust, a screwed up tissue, grimy charging cable, and a long-abandoned lens cloth. No, that’s just my bedside table you say? (But seriously, I like it - disclaimer, no professional expertise to offer)
