A view of snow covered Greenland surrounded by blue ocean with ice bergs. The island is surrounded by a large Lego wall, made of red, white, yellow, and blue bricks. It is a defensive wall with four towers spaced part way around the wall. One tower has a Danish flag. The accompanying text says Denmark is ready!

Lunch today served with a variety of crackers, and some fruit for afters, was baked brie en croûte. First time trying to make it, so the top was not too tidy, but it worked as desired.
Side view of baked brie en croûte. It is an oval brie wrapped in pastry and topped with apricot preserve. The pastry is golden and the preserve is orange.

We don't do xmas as s7ch but we do have a tradition of trifle for breakfast on boxing day. Trifle is now made and waiting for first serving tomorrow, with just two of us, there will definitely leftovers to continue with tradition #TrifleClub
A crystal bowl with scalloped edges sits on a pale bench top, in front of a window. The bowl contains a trifle. Partly visible are the layers starting with jam coated, sherry dowsed sponge cake pieces, the layers of fruit including fresh strawberries, the trifle is topped with thick yellow custard and decorated with freeze dried raspberries.

A woman in regal clothing with blue sash saying "I cannot" 3 A woman dressed in the style of Marie Antoinette saying "I do not currently possess the ability to can"

Not sure if Stuff think they're being funny, or just grabbed a map without checking, for their quiz today
A map of the world, the countries are all black and the background is grey. AS is common for many maps, Aotearoa New Zealand is missing. This is from Stuff's morning quiz. Below the picture is the question "Afghanistan is the only country that starts with the letter A, but doesn't end with an A.

I've not seen that yet, only the Ask a Question AI thing, when I'm forced to watch Youtube on YouTube and not in Duck Player.

It is completely pointless, if I wanted to ask something about the video, I'd put it in the comments. Iits only redeeming feature is that it uses an Oxford comma.
A screenshot from the space below a video in YouTube. It appears to the right of the channel's video info. It says Ask then has the AI 4 pointed star with further text that says Get answers, explore topics, and more.

When we visited the Guinness factory, and did the tour, the signage included info that they used hops from New Zealand.
A sign at the Guinness factory tour describing the ingredient Hops. It says: Hops. Hops only grow in two regions of the world. This temperamental plant requires a specific amount of sunlight, only available between 35 and 50 degrees north and south of the equator. Our hops buyer sources the highest quality hops from Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand, Hop plants can grow an astonishing 15 feet in height. In the past, men on stilts attached strings from pegs in the ground to overhead wires so the plants could grow to such heights. Picking was traditionally done by hand but today, machinery is increasingly used in the hop harvest.

David Seymour looked about, all the while scheming How to punish those without; the poor, the broke, the needy. Brightly shone his smile that night, for he was most cruel, Plotting to destroy kids’ lives Feeding them on gruel. Hither, Compass work for me, See your profits swelling, Feed the children slop and scraps, I’ll buy what you’re selling. “Sire, we have meals hard and dense, yet more bland and runny, Count on us to save you cents, We’re in it for the money Some pig flesh, for halal meals, Some mould or plastic splinters: The cost to you, well it’s a steal, when we provide school dinners David clapped his hands with glee, They’re poor so the deserve it On that I think we all agree Go ahead and serve it. “Sire, the schools all complain now, Public outcry’s stronger; Saying that they know not how This can go on longer.” David laughs for he cares not. Dismisses all so boldly They complain the foods too hot? Serve it to them coldly.” To hell with all the poor, he yelled, Denying his malefaction You’re lucky that we’ve tried to help Your claims are a distraction. The lesson, all wise folk be sure, to learn from this position, Don’t vote for right wing parties or You’ll re-elect this coalition

What a choice, vag hands or pocket billiards 😆
He needs to do this instead "unaware". 🤣

NZSL sign for unaware, know nothing. A drawing of a man, he has his right hand on his forehead, the hand makes a circle with forefinger and thumb, and remaining fingers are splayed (like an ok sign). His mouth has his tongue poking out slightly.

post your warning label
A warning sign. 1st line, large yellow print says "Warning: 2nd line, purple print on yellow background says "Wine Zone" 3rd line, yellow print on purple background says "Experts only beyond this point" 4th line, yellow print on purple background says "Unstable conditions may develop" 5th line, yellow print on purple background says "Beware of double vision. Cheers", this is overwritten with another line in pink, slightly offset saying the same thing.

A monkey is leaning on its paw in a thoughtful fashion. In a second picture the monkey has narrowed its eyes. In the third picture its eyes are closed and it might be biting its fist. The text says "When you notice a typo immediately after you hit send".

Please quote post a picture where you were completely happy, and nothing else mattered but that moment.

A woman with dark hair and glasses, is sitting in a red train carriage seat. She is wearing a dark top and is smiling a the camera. The seat cover says Glacier Express. Behind her and looking over her left shoulder is a large brown ibex plushie. It is sitting on a souvenir cart. I am the woman. Just before the ibex appeared, I had commented on how absolutely happy I felt, being on a train in the Swiss Alps with nothing to worry about.

Post you from a different era.

I am about 3 years old. This is before I got my first specs, which I definitely had before I started school. I remember the dress was brown, orange, and black with a white lacy bib. My face is still just as round as I approach 60.
A black and white photo of a 3 year old girl. She has a pageboy haircut, a very round face, with a freckled nose. She is holding a teddy bear in each arm. The one in her left arm is quite worn form three years of cuddling, the one in her right arm is new.

He looks like Moon Moon dancing
A scene at a small wharf. A pale coloured dog is up on its hind legs and its front legs are moving to one side making it appear to dance on water. To the left is a man in a red jumper reaching towards the dog. In the background is the pale blue hull of a boat. The man is saying "Damn it Moon Moon get back here", the dog replies "No! I must dance"
