Kat 👩‍🌾

A tabby cat curled up on my lap as I sit on the bed.

Cat trapped.

PS any @kats-garden.nz packages are now put in a sealed container until opening.

What's with the warning label? - Kat’s Nip It's not just a gimmick.

Every Kat's Nip package is sent with a silly warning label. But is it actually silly?

IT IS NOT SILLY.

IT IS FACTUAL AND NECESSARY.

Very blurry "action" photo of a brown tabby cat absolutely losing her shit over Kats Nip

My cat is proof that it is not a silly label!

I believe there's a nip ball in there somewhere! 😆😆

😆 got to be sure eh?

Found a Vespula wasp nest while out gorse spraying. Grateful for the senses that perked up well before I stepped on it.

Best go brush up on testing activity and see if it's worth putting out the Vespex.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Hey people as the season turns and our nights get darker and colder it’s a good time to remember that red lentils are great for stretching that really expensive mince and last for a long time in the pantry. Check out your local Indian store for the best prices.

Made early bird pricing for a bit over a week for people who see this on here.

Helios by Luke Jerram - a giant sun hanging in the Concert Chamber, Auckland Town Hall - a solitary figure stands underneath, looking up.

Evanescent, by Atelier Sisu, giant bubbles on the grass in Aotea Square, Auckland. A blue sky is just viable in the background

If like me you’re in search of a little joy at the minute, highly encourage getting amongst Auckland Arts Festival events.

Commit to it. Whether it's embracing a quiet cuppa or just deciding "today I will only enjoy this".

The list of things to do will never end. I have favourite flowers, seasons, spots, times. I make a point of, if even for a few minutes, appreciating and enjoying them.

The other day I got one that appeared to be from my domain host, but it wasn't to the email I have registered with them, which was the main signal to me it was a phish. They are getting very convincing.

Aaaand finished it in under 24 hours. 5 stars.

Everyone is Lying To You by Jo Piazza, for those who will ask.

It won't let me follow or friend you, but I'm 'katjnz'.

Well I've read 23% this evening so that's a good sign.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Sometimes I pick up a book I put on hold at the library without knowing why on earth I am picking it up.

Scanned this week's book to find a 5 star review on StoryGraph from someone I follow and that is probably the reason.

My imposter syndrome as these start arriving in mailboxes 😅

Love to see it! I hope they have a lot of fun and if they run into any problems please let me know! 😸

Just ask. She's potentially calling you "The Fig Lady" to her friends and family too.

counterpoint!

This particular screening is not one I'm familiar with but I do tend to find screenings generally err on the side of caution. If you want to delay, you can ask. It's your body at the end of the day.

I am right handed, but I had a left handed mother and that led to weird things, possibly this is one?

I hold the orange in my left hand and peel it with my right.

I'm glad something is happening, but wow. Happy birthday!
