Grumpy old lesbian in small-town Aotearoa. Amateur bagel baker, gardener, bird nerd. Rants about NZ politics, feminism, human rights and evil supermarkets guaranteed. She/her.
Our freight driver told me after the last election that he doesn't vote because it's all too hard and confusing, and he didn't think his vote would make any difference. This week he was slagging of the coalition like a champ! He'll be voting next year, for sure :)

Thank you for sharing this. There are loads around my house in flower, but I've never seen them up close. Gorgeous!

‘Dogs that have never lived in a house finding out about couches’ is my favourite genre of animal photography.

But, but, but National said before the election that their scant-on-details, un-costed water plans would be cheaper and better for everyone! How could they get it so wrong, and how are they going to blame it on Labour?! 😠

One of the mechanics at our VTNZ has hung their flu tracking certificate on the wall 😁
