Is it just me or when Luxon is abroad does it seem like he's 'and then I got to go in a big grey plane and it was just for me and I got to bring my friends on the plane and we went to Washington and I got to meet the president and it was so fun and he had a man with him with a gun!'

Yesterday morning's walk to work was beautiful. This is one of my favourite photo spots.

As a young girl I walked in on a sheep in the bathtub. My sister was married to a shepherd on a farm back of Lake Taupō. Nothing inappropriate! It was dead. Oh, I think I made that worse.

If you see something like this at night please call the emergency services ASAP. It’s a parachute flare that should (mostly) only be set off in an emergency. In this case it was part of a notified training session exercise last year so Coastguard Tautiaki Moana and NZ Police knew about.

Yeah. I work between Courtenay and Tākina. Also the two exhibitions have been very aimed at families so it's no wonder local hospitality hasn't benefited.

Agree on the public transport point. They should bring back the city circular route that went that way.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Yup. That's my experience too. And they come home standoffish for about an hour then they're all over you affectionately, after they shifted all of their favourite spots around the house /yard.
