FYI, my husband's company has requested he fill up before midnight tomorrow because Z told them there will be a massive petrol hike after that time. #nzpol

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

Spots are still available for people with Long Covid/MECFS in Ōtepoti Dunedin to participate in free facilitated creative writing workshops. I'm one of the facilitators. There's no commitmentβ€”if you think you might be interested, get in touch.

What is this, a horror film PR poster? No, they're Snapdragon seed pods. Snapdragons are beautiful, colorful garden flowers but obviously these are the creepiest seed pods of any kind.

Takahe peering past a tree

Today I visited Zealandia and of course asked about the chance of seeing the resident takahΔ“.

Basically no chance, my guide replied. Their habitat is off-limited to visitors right now and they rarely venture beyond it.

Resigned to this, I sat down on bench to watch riflemen...and who peeked out?

If you know anyone who’d have a use of a data consultant, python and SQL expert, Linux and cloud nerd and someone with managerial experience and a post grad science degree in Pōneke, please let me know.

Funny the things that upset you. Disconnected Mum's phone this week after 40 odd years - she no longer knows how to use it. It was our childhood number πŸ˜ͺ
