Together, the two of us cross yet another border, our brothers and sisters following close behind.
I actually did have a big fat cry - adding a few tears to this Kākahu.
Then, I just got on with it. My hands found their rythym quickly and I'm onto row six.
I'm happy with that.
Papa would be happy that I'm not being a sook all day
Yep, that’s me at my graduation ceremony.
I think I might have had a perm and frosted hair like that in the late 1980s!
Precious memories indeed and such joy and pride in your joint achievements radiate from this photo.
♥️
You must have a hell of a great stand-up routine.
That’s an impressive film clip. Such fun. Thanks for sharing.
Great minds think alike, Marie.
Thanks for posting.
They’re so gorgeous and loving and proof that cats and dogs can get along extremely well with each other.
They consisted of various expletives when certain political figures appeared on the screen.
As we’re half an hour behind, Gary provided a valuable service in alerting us to when we should avoid the news coverage.
He wouldn’t use very polite language at all. It would be even more colourful than his comments about the channel 9 news.
What a loving and beautifully written memorial Leigh has put together.
Thank you for letting us know about Gary’s passing.

Brockhoff Crackers. Woman's Day with Woman, 1966.
An old golden teddy bear with patches on his paws and tummy. His face is sunken and threadbare but he is the best teddy bear that there ever was. I don’t care that he is saggy, he’s Teddy and come Christmas time he will have been in my life for sixty years.
Oh Maggie, a massive virtual hug for you from Teddy and me.

If you can, should you wish, follow @georgepenney.bsky.social.
Her observations of life's brownian motion of joy, love, community & family, amidst NZ suburbia, are such gentle, finely crafted bon mots.
I find my own delight in talking to my local Über drivers - but lack George's finesse of recall.
That title alone would make my bloke sleepless for months!
Jan Fran speaks about Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's speech criminalisation. Even if no one reads or hears the prohibited phrases prosecution can still follow.
The first person charged, Liam Parry, is due in court tomorrow, 8 April. #qldpol

And what did you treat yourself to?
You’ve got a few years of tart face and whinging ahead of you then.
Our 15 year old cat (Moniquey) has decided that she will only drink water out of a bucket in the walk-in shower, and that she must also serenade the bucket at 1.30am and 3.30am.
How old are they? The cats, not your bare thighs. 🐈
Happy #FirstContactDay Blueskyers.
Only another 37 years to go if Zefram Cochrane is on track with his warp drive technology. 🤣🖖🚀

I must admit that I do not have a good opinion of him.
Daisy is way more refined than George ever was.
Did she turn around and look where it came from?
We had a dog that did that. He looked as if every fart was either a great surprise to him or some type of doggy miracle.
