Morning beach walk complete. Back to picking up beach glass.

Gm. ☕️☕️☀️

I have just discovered the Jason Jorjani rabbit hole 🕳️ 🐇 🧐

I made up some more seedling pots and sowed carrots and basil. This batch is 2 weeks behind my last batch.

Seaweed for the compost bin. Picked it up during my morning beach walk. #compost #gardening

Gm. Daylight savings today. ☕️🌤️😄

Wifey is cooking dinner tonight. She has been sick and therefore “off duty” for a week. I know she is feeling better because she is just making shit up for dinner, and I KNOW it’s gonna be awesome! I am convinced that she has the spiritual gift of cooking up a storm! She apparently “can taste things in her mind.” What the fcuk is up with that? Seriously?? I am both humbled and blessed 😇

New Zealand’s government has decided not to recognise the state of Palestine at this time. “Our Government has just confirmed that New Zealand will not be recognising the state of Palestine at this time. With the war still raging, Hamas effectively running Gaza, and no clear path to lasting peace, recognising Palestine now would only complicate efforts to secure a ceasefire for everyone.”

It’s that time of the season where you think about lighting the fire for ambience rather than for heat! 🔥

It’s been a busy day so far. Done the weekly grocery shop, found the owner of a beat up blind old cat that wandered into the yard last night, pushed through a couple loads of laundry and made a batch of cheese scones 🤪 #saturday

One of my possessions that I am quite fond of. The Cyclopedia of Valuable Receipts (Copyright 1885 & 1897). 1204 pages of knowledge and advice from 140ish years ago. It’s been in my family for nearly all of that time. Standard reference and reading material for early pioneers, settlers and homesteaders.

Context matters. Zoom out. Then zoom out some more.

You know who you are!

I am spending the day with my wife at her gift store being her general sidekick for the day. She had been ill and in bed since last Saturday. She should still be at home resting, but when you are self employed and run a retail business, showing up really does mean something! #showup where you need to.
