Just a quick 25L to The Civic. Love this city. International film festival - the last day. #TāmakiMakaurau #kikorangi

Interior photo of The Civic, featuring a gold big cat with shining eyes at the foot of a decorative column and a curtained stage.

On a day where it should have been basking in the glow of the CRL, the master of ceremonies, the CEO from Illinois, hijacks the moment with his smalls on display #nzpol

Cartoon of the Prime Minister on a zoom call from the bathroom with his undies pegged to a line above the bath (white Y-fronts labelled Winston and pink smalls marked ACT). Printed in NZ Herald 7 Aug 2026. Cartoon by Rod Emmerson.

Behold! My 998 piece jigsaw! Love these beautiful puzzles by Tanya Wolfkamp on Waiheke. #kikorangi

A round puzzle celebrating New Zealand funghi. Of the 1,000 piece puzzle two pieces are missing: one from black and white revolute ink cap and one from the common basket stinkhorn. Other mushrooms include the blue Werewere kokako and the yellow chanterelle.

Have collected a Waring text from Hard to Find, despatched Dunedin to Auckland. Some people take issue with pen in books - this has a couple of articles pasted into the inside front cover, as well as an owner's mark & date. My day will be made to find notes in the margins. #kikorangi #nzpol

Book cover of counting for nothing: what men value and what women are worth by Marilyn Waring. Image on book is a photo taken from outside looking through a window into what looks to be a classroom with a woman reaching up high to clean the glass.

Two articles cut out of the Otago Daily Times. First headed 'Women Key Providers', dated 10 Feb 1989. Article cites the UN & reports that women produce and market 80% of the food in developing countries. Second headed 'Waring Honoured', dated 30 Dec 1989, notes the success of her book.

I wish I could read the name inscribed. Cursive, possibly 'P. Sandle', dated 14 Oct '88 DN.

A beautiful day in Tāmaki Makaurau #TransRights #HumanRights #WomensRights

Rainbow flag and trans flag outside the CPO with a blue sky background. At the Tran rights rally 13 July 2026.

Ronnie@ronnie-anz· Jun 12

Remembering how in 2021 NZ Post issued stamps celebrating pride. I bought a sheet at the time as it felt like a milestone. Tomorrow I’ll be out in support of trans rights - can’t take anything for granted. We’re a great little country & we’re all the better for each and every one of you. #kikorangi

A sheet of stamps of the progress pride flag issued by NZ Post in 2021.

Happened upon this wee poem today and it's somehow really lifted my spirits. #kikorangi nzpoetryshelf.com/2019/12/11/p...

Keep calm, and carry …

Books for your sister
Shopping for your dad

Washing for your mum
Papers for your neighbour

Sports gear for your teacher
And cats, just for fun

But only carry what you can manage
If you try to carry the weight of the world
You might hurt your shoulders

I shall knead you and knead you and knead you #nzpets

Enjoying this burn by the Mayor. Not sure what’s jerked his chain but I’m here for it #TāmakiMakaurau

Screenshot of Facebook post by Mayor Wayne Brown’s with text “I’m a businessman people go to to make deals. Seymour’s the one who had to go ballroom dancing to get noticed”. Post pictures a younger a Seymour with arms open wide, he’s bearing the grin of a man who’d smile as he slipped the knife in between your ribs.

Autumn sun hits different when you’re a cat in a shoebox. No rent, no plans, just vibes. #nzpets #catsinboxes

Tabby cat in blue shoebox basking in Autumn sun. He’s a bit too big for the shoebox, his body is tucked in and his head rests on the edge. His face is one of contentment.

Between the cats and the hound, all the homemade biscotti has disappeared. I may have left the tin unattended on the coffee table while heading out to Pride. Someone is now feeling a little sorry for themselves. 🇳🇿🐕🐶

Beagle-ish dog with black nose, light muzzle and tan and white body looking at camera. He’s feeling sorry for himself after eating too much home baking and has a very full tum.

I’ve been treated to some treasures by my #SecretSantaAoNZ - absolutely glorious - and such a lovely hand written message - top sleuthing and foraging skills. Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!

Five Christmas wrapped gifts & an envelope addressed to me.

Five unwrapped gifts: a packet of gingerbread fudge, tiki soap, two delicate Christmas tree figures & a packet of flower seeds for the birds & bees.

So this guy's on bsky - probably has been for ages and I'm only just realising. I don't want to see his stuff or engage with his lot - I much prefer the relative calm of this place rather than the other one. If you're like me, might be one for your mute or block list #kikorangi

“I will open my eyes when the wind stops blowing.” Little fella went for his first swim today, almost by accident. Chased a dog chasing a ball into the sea. Precious pup doesn’t even like his toes wet. #AotearoaPets #NZPets

My office assistant has taken on the role of supervisor. Definite micro-manager tendencies. #nzpets

Don’t let his good looks and relaxed state fool you. He’s plotting his revenge after a new dog was welcomed to the family. #nzpets

Not sure if this is the same murder, but they’re keeping watch

A murder of crows perched high in a leafless tree against a grey winter sky.

Our travels visiting family and exploring beyond Aotearoa’s shores are on the last leg. Last tipple until end of Feb. Looking forward to summer sun and warmth and being back in our own beds #kikorangi

A glass of Affligem (a beer originally brewed by monks. Not sure if that’s still the case).

Felixstowe Port against a glorious dusk sky. A pint warmed the cockles before a brisk walk to the in-laws. Quite a different lead up to NY here cf AoNZ. The teen is enjoying spending time with his English grandparents & visiting the places of his early years #Felixstowe #kikorangi

First Xmas with the in-laws in more than a decade. Suffolk coast & the North Sea are a little different to the Waitematā. Some brave souls enjoyed a winter swim.

Colourful beach huts sitting on pavement for winter.

Wooden piles without the beach huts (removed for winter). North Sea, groynes in background.
