Pre-employment psych test said very high empathy vs. very low tolerance. I'm sorry. Get over it. 🤣 And the cat. Mostly the cat, if I'm honest. Held together with baling twine and No.8 wire. Oh, and would love to #LiberateTheLane.

I do love Auckland drivers. Not. Aggressively tooted at by some idiot behind me when I stopped at a crossing. BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHILD ON THE CROSSING. 🤬 Honestly this is why I hate leaving the house.

Wow. The NZ Herald has gone full click bait, hasn't it? (Haven't read it in quite some time). From the doxing story this morning to 'tractor drivers say median barriers are unsafe for them so they should go'. How is any of this considered journalism?

🇳🇿😺 Made the rookie mistake of accidentally double dosing on caffeine yesterday, so couldn't sleep last night. Therefore a nap was required this afternoon. Chico Marx agreed wholeheartedly.

🇳🇿😺 Absolutely determined to be on me. This is not especially comfortable for anyone, but I need to do some work, and this 'situation' means I can actually have the laptop on my lap.

🇳🇿😺 Now passed out. Moments earlier had a full on tantrum with threats of biting because he wouldn't let me put the blanket on my legs BEFORE he clambered onto my lap. The biting threat was him, in case you're wondering.

Old Rimmer on Midday Report: 'If we've made a law that impacts people negatively, we should change it' re. pseudoephedrine. But not free fares for under 12s, zero prescription fees, or free vaccinations for our most at risk?! Sure, sure, you absolute toxic muppet.

🇳🇿😺 I got home from the cinema last night & saw the tips of two ears over the edge of the front steps as I pulled into the driveway. I assumed it was one of the mini thugs from up the road who delight in tormenting Chico Marx. But no, it was indeed Chico Marx - lying on mulch & stones & dead plants 🤣

🇳🇿🧵🪡 Easter project complete. I've not used this brand of pattern before, but good instructions & fairly simple to make. But I do so loathe gathering sleeves. (I normally do a pleat at the shoulder but these need the fullness of gathers). Gonna wear it with navy wide leg pants to a work do this week.

🇳🇿😺 There was a giant moth. Cue shenanigans. For a change his long boi genes didn't help him.

🇳🇿😺 Sometimes he likes to pretend he's a tiny kitty. (He is not. He's the longest cat I've ever owned, though not the largest. But still, he's 6kgs of feline).

🇳🇿🪡🧵 I made two of these foldaway bags as my hostess gift when I'm staying with friends next weekend. Just need to attach Me Made tags and they'll be all done.
Avatar
🇳🇿🪡🧵 I made my first #CloBiasSkirt last week, and had enough fabric left over to make a GBSB shell top so I can wear it as a 'dress', or separates. And yes, for the eagle eyed, the flowers are upside down 😂 oh well.

😺🇳🇿 I laughed so hard, I started wheezing. He was completely under the towel earlier - utter disregard for its true purpose of stopping the cat hair on bedding - and I turned around to this.
Avatar
🇳🇿😺 The absolute state of him.
Avatar
🇳🇿😺 Got the fright of my life when this little goober appeared suddenly. He's also not terribly helpful, given his lack of thumbs and inability to reach the sewing machine foot controller.

🇳🇿😺 Another hot day in Tāmaki Makaurau, sharing the garden with this boy.
Avatar
🇳🇿😺 This is a favourite spot for the boy cat in the heat. There's a bit of a breeze and the concrete is still quite cool.

Is it just me but Luxon can't say 'perspective'?! I'm sure I heard him saying 'prespective' this morning from Rātana. And it isn't the first time!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Think I'm gonna be okay.

How old will you be this year. Repost with a pic. 53 this year. (I did have to mentally calculate that. Thought I already was!)

First swim and paddle board of the New Year. I mean, it was awful. Look at this. The horror! 🤣
