A broken tree branch shattering the street in chews lane, Wellington

Wonder where this tree branch in chews lane came from.

Round one done of #WAAPgolf. Such a fun experience but man it was hot out there. Here’s the tee off from hole one for T An

That was a 13 year old from Wellington teeing off. Wish I could hit that well

Cracking day for some golf here in Wellington. #WAAPgolf #golfnz

A selfie of me on the practice range of the golf course. There are players warming up behind me and I’m wearing a caddying bib.

First day caddying for an amazing golfer at the women’s amateur Asia pacific championship. Practice rounds today and tomorrow and then kicks off Thursday.

Brisket and beer day today. Love time with friends. And a good excuse for a good beer. Cc @jpdanner.com

Loving the twizzles in the ice dancing. 💃🏼

Hopefully everyone on the train carriage likes the smell of fresh baked bread. Bringing a fresh sourdough to the office.

Political drawing prompt: a rowing boat with a big stern wave, obviously going backwards, a depiction of Nicola Willis is rowing and Luxon is standing looking over the stern. His thumb is pointing over his shoulder towards the bow. A speech bubble says “the opposition will take us backwards”

Christened my new smoker with two pork shoulders 😋

Did it even begin?

In the freezing stage of frozen shoulder I’m pretty sure. For those that don’t know, that means I can carry four bags of shipping fine but 10 seconds after reaching to take my sock off I’m in blinding agony.

I’ll definitely have a good enough crop in march. Will deliver you some too if you want them.

Bugger. I’ll get you some more plants. Sorry they didn’t take off.

Did they come back? Or did they fail? Happy to get you some new cuttings (but a bit late in season now) or will get you some rhysomes in autumn once I cut everything back.

Nice to be back in sunlight and longer days though.

Go away for a few weeks in summer and the hops take over the garden.

Robin Ince once more showing what an amazing person he is. It's tragic that we are in a world where opposing transphobia and hate means having to resign, while being transphobic and hateful means getting regularly featured by national media outlets.

Oh no. I’m away till Jan but can sort out some new cuttings or get some rhysomes to you in autumn.

Sorry about the rain Wellington. I lit the bbq today.

A photo of an iPad showing a temperature graph. The temperature increase has become much flatter and current temperature reads 77c

And the stall well in effect. To wrap or just to keep pushing through. That’s the eternal question.

A photo of a can of beer called It’s Danner Time from Behemoth Brewing Company.

It’s a nice beer you’ve got there @jpdanner.com shame if something were to happen to it.

Took me a while to work out the right burner settings (I’ve found one on only is the best) Seems to maintain a good temperature.

Well I’ve done one pulled pork before and a set of ribs so no expert. But seems to work and I have a smoker box in there with apple wood chunks that seem to produce good smoke for a couple of hours from full. So far so good.

Pulled pork, low and slow, day today.

Back at the brewtown market with the youngest daughter’s business. Come get some frozen treats for your dog!
