It's so true, I totally live by it!

Working out of a cafe today and there's a lovely large group of elderly women next to me enjoying themselves. But boy so many different heady perfumes mingling in one place is overpowering my senses. Time to move on me thinks!

Uh-ohhh. I was always that guy who brings lunch, goes out for lunch instead, and forget about said lunch in the fridge until it's grown legs of its own!

Me, food and my body have a tumultuous relationship. I'm currently dabblling with going vegan via my devout vegan German neighbours. I have to say, so far so good! Yummy, fresh, filling food that doesn't make me feel like a deadweight. Not sure I have the discipline to prepare it like they do tho.

Well ain't this some sh*t!

Mea culpa...I don't go running any more, but if i did...😬

I miss eating out in the 'burbs in Auckland. From Taiko in Kingsland to Xi'an Food Bar in Balmoral. Man you can't beat those hand-pulled noodles at Xi'an I am frothing at the mouth just thinking about them.

I had a whinge to someone about how hardly anyone answers their mobile ph to take a call these days. Then proceeded to let a call ring out that I just wasn't in the headspace to take right then and there. So, yeah...we all do it.

What a score!

Right? I don't think there will be any accountability either. Maybe it also simply serves to demonstrate thst worshipping money above all else will ultimately turn you into a demonic, STD-riddled, secretive, possibly murderous and most probable paedophile.

Anyone else feel like the Epstein Files were released to simply confirm the super rich are as foul as they are untouchable? And not a goddamn thing will happen to any of them?

Instead of trying to change the world via control and influence over others, imagine if we each took radical responsibility for our own lives, improving ourselves a little each day. Sadly, the world is exposing just how many people are not willing to work on themselves and be a better human at all.

It sounds delicious. Are you selling or growing just for own use?

Oh noooo. That can't be good!

Gee the school mum cliques are a vibe aren't they? I'm not into it 😒 🤷‍♀️

At our local Cafe with my 7 year old son, we're both on our devices. I was reading my horoscope, he's looking up the meaning of diatomic oxygen 😅 one of us needs timeout from our device.
