Stuff owes readers of The Post a partial refund.
Literally the same story within pages in this morning's edition.

SO: You could put your present under the tree.

Me: Dear My Santa, it's now under the tree (guarded by a semi-protective Yuletide polar bear).

It's on it way.

What tripe. I went to a user panel with Snapper over 15 years ago, and many developments (mostly around daily/weekly capping) they were working on were being stalled by GW.

Good for drivers, but will penalise passengers who don't have/want contactless cards &/or smartphones.

A bit moodier across Evans Bay this Wellington morn.

It's been up for about a week because this weekend just gone was always going to be a bit hectic.
Feel free to spot the traditional Christmassy decorations.

A wee drenching over #Wellington this morning.

Last night I thought Hilary had cursed the draw when we turned to one at 8:20pm.
Turns out Lotto broke their own published rules and it was over by then.

Growing, but not a huge collection.
There's a hint of another evolving collection.

'twas delicious. Today's foods have been very restrained.

Table of 6 carnivorous lads, that arrived after us, shared the meter of meat. Economic sense, but gastronomically inconceivable*.

* Yes, I've used that word and the offering was truly that.
