Two wind shaped tōtara on a high ridge on Banks peninsula. The sea is very blue, there is snow and ice on the ground.

Smeary blearing gloomy shot from the train across the motorway to QEP. It is sleety and the sun is a brownish blur

6°. Feels like 0° in the wind

A gloomy grey and chilly railway station. The yellow safety line glows

Livin the dream

Evening commute

Golden low sun lights up escarpment behind QE park, Kāpiti. A fast fattening moon is rising in a wintery blue sky

Having a dream in my fishing cup. Safe travels Sam.

Goya's dog. On the edge of the world. Or maybe just looking at that very good stew disappearing without a morsel being shared.

Everyone and their dogs are at the beach today

Blue sky, grey sand, blue sea. Looking south along Paekakariki beach. Many people and dogs!

Sun, sand, surf, lots of people at the beach

Yep

A grey and white coffee cup with a grouse on it in black line work. A tattooed hand is holding it. Foreground is a dark blue furry blanket. Background is painted white walls with early yellow sunlight.

Anyone want a chip? I'm full.

A bowl still mostly full of hot chips. Sauce and aioli on the side

Made a big pot of Thai spiced pumpkin soup, and remembered I don't really like pumpkin. Oh well, I'll freeze it for the apocalypse, and work lunches. Here's what I had for tea 🤩

A fairly bitter Monday morning. Should have brought my gloves.

A railway station platform. Everything is lit up grey concrete, but the yellow safety line pops in the pre dawn gloom. Not seen but keenly felt: the bitter southerly wind. There's snow in its teeth.

I am this cat

Photo of a tabby cat and a cream coloured small dog, both digging holes in a forest.
The text explains that the dog is a trained truffle hound, finding truffles. The cat is not trained, just likes to dig holes with the dog, does not find or care about truffles.

A proper pic of it.

A brown leather case. For either a telescope or telescope stand

I've also had this little guy since about 1998. No idea what it's from (top of a corkscrew? Harness brasses?), or what it's age is. No makers marks.

A small cast bronze piece in the shape of a devil standing on one leg. Maybe from a corkscrew? Or maybe from harness brasses?

I live in a 1950s extension to a 1910s church. I own & use a enamelled metal teapot which I think is from the 1940's, since around 2000. I also own a leather map case from 1917, but it just gets used to store posters.
