I am the Kārearea 👍🏼

Yes please. Then one less reason to be on another place. (Still there for the science, geology and weather nerds that have not ported damn it!)

I can’t believe the convinced a very high profile NZer to get on board with their snake oil 🫣

I have been watching river levels near where family over there live. And looks bad as higher than 2 weeks ago and that was BAD then!

We ask that question every time we see that Purina ad! The nation needs to know. Someone must do an investigation!! Maybe @dylanreeve.com will have contacts that can help!

The one store at our local shops (only one thankfully, though they did put it in the month before the regs re location close to schools - it is within 200m of TWO schools!) still has clear glass frontage, breaking the new regs! Would it be wrong to pop down & paint said windows overnight?

For those following along…. Turns out he lived in Whanganui, ran a cafe and got shafted by a builder. My parents helped him in a work capacity to resolve. So he went and cooked them a lovely dinner at their house one day to say thanks. Hence having met my cat!

At a pub in London. NZ friend had brought along a work colleague who I got chatting to.
Him: I spent time in NZ a few years back
Me: where
Him: Whanganui
Me: I grew up there….
(1 min of conversation later)
Him: I know your cats name that your parents are looking after whilst you are overseas.

I always remember a pub having one of those, and under the “twist both ways” thingy, someone had written in pen “like we did last summer”

Literally a week ago, I dug out my 29yo Yamaha 5 disc player from the garage & my son & I got it working again. The belt the moved the tray had failed. Replaced with a random rubber band & works a treat. He is loving all my old CDs. I am amazed by sound quality over Spotify.

Anything you are doing that tucking an 18yo under your wing to help and learn so he could help out??

Thanks Jen. I hope it brings a smile to peoples faces as they walk the pathway!

I can assure you it WAS my leaf blower. I love to do it every year to give people a smile as they walk up the pathway. 👍🏼😉

I so want to setup a hidden camera and see how many people “play the game”!!!

What was our time WAY back when… (we did not do them all cos of the signal failure at Gunnersbury).
