#kikorangi #nzpol The potential for Luxon to be Luxoff next week, there may be an early election? I don't know if that's possible with an election date already announced. Regardless, make sure you're enrolled to vote NOW. The election will probably be in Nov. But it could be in April. vote.nz

Exactly. They're vain and stupid and hurting a bunch of people just trying to get on with their lives.

Tongue in the fridge? Where do you even get it in 2026? (I love tongue, btw)

I'm tired of being governed by stupid people ๐Ÿ˜ž And to be honest I could deal with that if they demonstrated they gave a shit but nada.

Gaza was a practice run. Utterly shameful.

Thanks for this. I remember the 1970s (sadly ๐Ÿ˜ž) but others who have experienced low inflation might be in for a shock. Wouldn't it be handy about now to know successive govts had taken energy and food security seriously? But alas.

320 grams of 3-4 ply handspun Polwarth. A bit uneven in some places but it's lovely and soft. We're very lucky in Aotearoa New Zealand to have access to beautiful fleece. This came from a small farm in North Auckland. It's getting dyed tomorrow. Watch this space.

No comment except to say I've never commuted by car. You just adjust.

Yes, it varies around the country. I haven't driven for a year so don't normally pay attention. I bike around locally and it does save money (and no parking hassles).
