Hey everyone, I've been a bit quiet here. Sorry. Back though. Put my name in the hat for Council and Mayor. Missed it these last three years and watched some poor decision-making so, why not I thought.

Damsons in the freezer. No plum sauce left in the pantry. Sunday morning of a long weekend. Be silly not to...

So anyways, there's worse places to sit on the furniture that has been moved from the lounge so that replacement carpet can be laid. Nah...don't think so.

Today is the International Day of the Rural Woman. A day to celebrate success, acknowledge the challenges our rural women face around the world and thank our legends who have gone before us.

Second phase of recovery, fitness, and general wellbeing. Back in the pool. Got a long way to go until I get back to regular 2k training. #gottastartsomewhere #swimming #fitstrongunstoppable

O my, it felt SO good. I just love the water. #KoWaiKoAuKoAuKoWai

Took myself to a harakeke weaving workshop this morning, hosted by the Upper Hutt Women's Centre and skills taught by Mihi. I had such fun. #harakeke #weaving #learning #newskills #women #kōrero

Sunday afternoon. Moonboot off. Blessings. #rehab #recovery #restingup #justsayin

Sometimes life just throws a curve ball.

Been here 10days now. Hoping to go home tomorrow.
