Amazing! I didn’t know they were big in NZ then. We were in Europe that year, although we did go to NZ at some point to see Bevan’s family.
Glad you’re enjoying your new job 💕
Love Florence and the Machine! Saw them at a festival in Spain a few years back, they’re simply the best. Glad you love them too!
Hope you’re going well and enjoying your new job. You’re hugely missed at Axios! 💗
Yeah, they really should. It’d be amazing if Kia’s came down in price!
Yeah, Bevan’s van was $26k new. Just a cheaply made little one with no frills, but it does the job.
Oh wow! Hopefully it won’t be long before it’s cheaper for everyone in NZ to get an EV
My hubby worked out repayments for a new electric van were less than the amount of money he was spending on petrol. He travels around NZ a lot for work, so he bought one last year and has never looked back
Just another day in Minneapolis, where 12 colleges are attempting to race their homemade concrete canoes (yes actual concrete) across Lake Hiawatha 🛶
It’s raining. Lightning has been spotted. The UMN canoe weighs 220 pounds and has to hold four people. This can only go well

The world is just a cat playing with Australia.
