Aaargh! It’s the creature from the black lagoon 🧌 There’s a joke in here somewhere but I’m struggling to find it funny. I now have two badly broken wrists and I can’t walk. 😭😭😭
Surgery tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can reconstruct and realign my very wonky hand and wrist. Wish me luck. 🍀 🇳🇿
😭😭😭 it’s getting worse every day. More swelling, more pain. Four and a half weeks until surgery. 🇳🇿 #kikorangi
Well, this didn’t turn out very well, to put it mildly. Failed bone graft. Back to surgery in a few weeks. Hurts like hell. 🇳🇿😱
Post wrist surgery. Thanks to Morpheus for the milk of the poppy. 🇳🇿
Surgery has now been confirmed for next Wednesday. They’ll reopen the scars on either side of my wrist and take out the damaged metal plates. Hopefully it can heal properly then. I feel like I’ve had an operation in every hospital in Auckland over the past four years. #kikorangi
A beautiful day out. Awhitu Peninsula, Kariotahi Beach, Manukau Heads lighthouse. Incredible views in all directions - across to the city, the Waitākere Ranges, Tasman Sea and the mighty Manukau Bar. #kikorangi.
Trump’ White House posting about July 4th backed by Gary Glitter is perfection. You couldn’t make it up. Especially in the face of his Supreme Court loss re: the E Jean Carroll rape case.
Eye candy time. Australian actor Sam Reid as The Vampire Lestat. 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. See it.
Winter solstice at the local stone circle. Basque Park, Eden Terrace, Tāmaki Makaurau 🇳🇿
Views from Arataki visitors centre and from the Waiatarua (highest point) lookout back towards Auckland city. A top notch Sunday drive in Auckland up into and along the Waitākere Ranges and back down through Henderson Valley. 🇳🇿😍
My baby girl Kendall and David Hockney stealing each other’s look back in the early 90s. Rest in Love you beautiful man - dreaming of the Yorkshire wolds.
Our apartment building and “backyard” in central (not CBD) Auckland. What’s not to love?
For those who follow - the first episode of The Vampire Lestat was a beautiful, chaotic fever dream. I’ve been waiting two years for it and it’s absolutely fucking fabulous. Sam Reid is a god. It’s his era now.

After 68 years of having dead straight hair, it has suddenly decided to do this. Quite spontaneous and quite spectacular curls. I love them. No maintenance required. #kikorangi
Sad to see this sign finally get pulled down. It has an email address on it, so can’t be that old. It was a bit of character in the street though. Eden Terrace, Tamaki Makaurau #kikorangi

I’ve been on Wegovy for 6 weeks. Some minor side effects, but the impact on my inflammatory pain has been huge. Pain in my injured knee and injured wrist has gone down from a 6-7 to a 1-3. My knee brace keeps sliding off because the joint has lost its chronic swelling. This stuff is life changing. 🇳🇿
