Always remember the temporary nature of our existence.

Swim to shed skin

How truth is stranger than fiction as the Prince of Darkness becomes the thorn in the PM’s side.

Hot and cold running water

Let’s make the most of the warm, sunny days this week.

Who'd have thunk that giving homeless people a home would help. It's a political choice. Those bastards don't solve homelessness because they don't want to.

Sunday’s mantra - problem solving through taking action.

My Mum and Dad left Aotearoa for the last time in early 1998.

Sorry to hear this Ed. I guess self-employment is not an option? There will be something better for you around the corner.

Just saw two seagulls and a magpie hanging out together and I'm wondering what the hell they've got planned

The most annoying thing about AI (so far) is the chat bot function that pops up in the bottom right of the screen unprompted. What makes people think that this is a welcome feature?

I’m not sure if Blue Sky is working again. Will we be sending messages into the void?

Good vibes coming from Hungary as the general election results are coming in.

Electric Light Orchestra - don't diss it!

Wishing for a safe journey home for the Artemis astronauts.

Mega scammer

The life you are living is not a dress rehearsal.

Rain plus birdsong

Starmer is complicit. Freedom is removed from a society in smallish pieces over time. Beware. Look what has happened in Russia.

The early summer will last for one day only. Your skin will go red and it will be comfortable to go outside without a jacket or coat.

Drink loads of water

Student loans should be cancelled entirely. But in the meantime, interest on these loans should be frozen when there are zero (or very low) earnings.
