We (i.e an office of doco makers, aged 23-60) were just talking about this. It’s waaaay weirder.

Stamp it out: Waging a weedy war with the Society Totally Against Moth Plants Seven skips full of pods, thousands of sticky secateurs, years of Stamping and yet the moth plant is still rampant. What keeps people going?

These Moth Plant vigilantes are my kind of heroes…

And while there’s a Pest Free strategy, NZ has no national weed eradication strategy… (Sighs as ginger starts to overtake native bush in neighbourhood…)

No apology needed - I’ll just take any chance to cheerlead for NZ content 😊

Trustee of a local theatre org and concur; no matter how much you value artists, groceries, go figure, win out. Maaaaybe it means more people tuning into local content on free platforms like TVNZ+…? (Reaching for any tiny silver lining of impact of further diminishing household spends on lives ☹️)

So pleased you’re enjoying Happiness (but it’s a proudly New Zealand, not Australian, show 😊)

Soooo good. Soooo 💔

I’m not even anyone’s mother and I was so 💔 by the twins-sick-in-bed scene, so your response seems entirely rational to me!

SO cute.

Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

New Zealand comedy Happiness hit Australian screens on HBO Max this week, starring Rebecca Gibney and Harry McNaughton. Thanks to our friends at Three NZ and Greenstone for producing such a great series!

Pleased to say it’s now on HBO Max AU. And yes, Rebecca is fantastic 😊

The CEOT / Child Exploitation tīma are exceptional humans. We made a doco with them
last year, exploring how they cope doing such harrowing - vital - mahi. Avail on TVNZ+ www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/unmasking-the-monsters

Wait, don’t those letters have a “if this is still accurate, you don’t need to do anything else” message - or I am confused?

Ha! That was meant to read *I* start new level next week.; you’ve prob got enough going on reading that Internet NZ Board For Dummies manual. (But def encourage you to check Te Ataarangi out).

Ditto! Ataarangi is brilliant. Most effective language learning (even for a challenged old brain) and such a great vibe from those brilliant, generous kaiako and fellow learners. Start L2 next week with 10 of my colleagues.

Congrats, Dylan. And thank you for your service 🏆

Ditto Top Energy. And a text message within 5 mins too. And it was restored faster than they estimated - bless those lines people.

Mine just arrived and I looove them!

Love Unwritten Rules Of Aotearoa moments: Ordered 1 potato fritter in Rawene; got 2.

Would I fib to you? (And I’ve got tickets to a pretender otherwise).

I love that series so much. His Netflix standup special is brilliant too. (And he’s at Comedy Fest here in May…)

I had a guy on Linked In last week use “you people” at me when I dared cite academic research that suggests his reckons were, well, ill-supported. Still not sure what kind of “people” I am… 🤷🏻‍♀️

We’ve been making plum
daiquiris, in case you’re looking for more delicious crop uses 😊

I’ll take it.

I never had any; does this make me more unwise, or a higher evolved being?

Superbly (and depressingly) articulated @sanjanah.bsky.social.

Friend and I ended up in an emotional confrontation because she thought I’d been ghosting her for weeks - and I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting invited to things…Belated discovery of the iMessage glitch. I will old fashioned call people more in case now!
