Well, that’s pretty darn cold for Tāmaki Makaurau

Got my Auckland Council rates bill today, which included some excellent comms. I’m pretty happy with how my rates are invested for the benefit of all Aucklanders, although if we bumped up Built Environment a bit more, maybe we could have more of these awesome multimodal street upgrades? 🤞

But wait, there’s still more

My corner of Tāmaki is a different kind of pretty this morning 🌫️

Is it time for bedtime treats yet, huh, is it???

Oh the irony. A headline showcasing Luxon’s ignorance at the lack of appropriate social services to reduce homelessness in Auckland, accompanied by an advert for National ‘fixing the basics’. 🤬 #nzpol

Winston was right, I AM a woke leftie loser

The face of a cat who is quite comfortable thank you very much, I don’t care if you want to go to bed now

I got an ok view from the very top last night but was too scared to do the climb down in the dark so didn’t wait for sunset

I climbed up a large hill and stayed the night in the outdoors to see the sunrise this morning. This was what I woke up to 🤣

Sun came out on the return leg 🚲

Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth 🦇

I hope I don’t end up regretting cycling to work today (forecast says thunder and gales are due after I should be home again)…but the sunrise is a stunner!

The absolute nerve of these people, stuffing this nonsense into our mailbox this week, days after publishing a budget that offers little to anyone other than those who are already wealthy and sorted #nzpol

Looks good! I had leftover rice so attempted crispy rice under my avo, poached eggs and sesame dressing

Special delivery, but no good to have for dinner 🐈‍⬛🇳🇿

Unless of course you’re a long suffering husband called upon to do the high sections and your wife won’t let you trim the spiky lime tree

Is there any better home maintenance task than waterblasting? So satisfying

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet

Hmmmm 🕵️

Well that was startling (although I do have an autistic adhd nibling and I see some behavioural similarities at times 😬)

If you see this, post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation

Their doppelgänger lives at my house and is also manic

Search your camera roll for hell

FEED ME! 🐈‍⬛🇳🇿
