Searching for cough medicine, I eventually found it in a bag with two missing bras and my passport. No knickers. Just two bras. What on earth had I been planning? AND had I already had too much cough medicine at the time? What a mystery. (So glad I found my bras though. Score!)

Sad news that the brilliant actor and director Robert Redford has ridden off to the other side to catch up eith his old buddy Paul Newman. There have always been debates about who was the better looking. I am a Paul Newman fan. Those gorgeous blue eyes. But I must have argued about this a zillion times over the years. Even last week my friend and I were involved in this friendly debate while driving to Pilates. Lets me honest…both very good looking. Even as they aged. Now, I just hope RR Is yarning with his old mate, and having a good laugh. I won’t say rest in peace, because I like to think that on the other side, there are so many wonderful adventures to be had. Not to mention all the catch ups! 🤍🤍🤍

This is utter rubbish!!

Hang on a minute!!! So for reasons I’d prefer not to disclose. I ventured to find out what countries have the most attractive people. America came in at #1. Which I choose to heartily disagree with. I’ve been to Florida and kentucky. It’s not true! Well, Unless they only count people in California. Now…..Having watched the test match, that I prefer to pretend didn’t happen. I completely disagree with South Africa coming in at 103!! Those Boks are rather fine looking lads. I say this purely from an artistic stand point. ((Cough cough)) I also strongly take exception to Australia coming in 30 places higher than NZ! Load of rubbish!

You can check out here if you’re a little freaky like me. Go on…I know you want to….

True confessions of a terrible woman…. 🥸

10/09/2025

Sure we’ve had our problems. You could argue the whole country is a bit of a disaster presently…BUT..We were Godzone. We were! We knew it. We were proud of it..but..

As spring springs, and on one day we bask in sunshine, and the joy of, daffodils, and new lambs. Other days storms loom down upon us (According to met service thats today!!.)So we race to haul in the washing. There’s a collective cry around the country, “Oi kids!! Helpme bring the washing in! No not when you finish your game! Now!!” through the house? .We put away our sandals and brace for the freeze….but really that’s just weather. No, the darkness of the stories that head up the news sites, and those that weigh heavily on our pride Kiwi hearts , is not weather related. Correct? No it’s a time reminiscent of the late 80’s and 90’s when we plunged in to a strange and dark news cycle . One we are still horrified by…

I’m old enough the to remember, David Grey, Raymond Ratama, Kirsa Jenson, the kahui twins , and Taita teenager Karla Cardno… etc etc..
Today’s top stories are the horrific Phillips story, which has more deep and dark secrets than many American horror stories. We had a murdered woman in Kapiti last night, and three men being charged with ra**ng a German back packer. We are ‘in the weeds’ folk. We’re not much so much ‘Godzone’ as ‘Gods Gone.’

This Phillips story is going to become far more disturbing..

Another woman killed at the hands of a man.

And oh sweet lord that poor German back packer. How dare you moron thugs begin to think it’s ok to destroy the trust of this innocent traveller??

If you’re like me..it’s impossible to even imagine the depravity of some truly screwed up monsters.

I know this too shall pass..but it really hurts, shocks, disgusts and saddens us.

So God! Can we please be your God zone again? Not ‘Long gone Zone.’

(Thanks Stuff for use of your pics)

I would say it’s always best not to ‘drug and asphalt’ 😆

A cone turned into a semi-permanent footpath fixture has drawn mockery. So why is it there?

Thank you mum.

Thank you for everything wonderful you gave me. All the kindness, love and time. All the mountains of books, paper and crayons and paints spread across the dining room table…my darling mum…..but most of all,

“Thank you for marrying my dad.”

Thank you for marrying my funny, fabulous, brave,charming, loving,rugby loving,cricket loving man who came with the most wonderful extended family. Thank you for marrying a man who drove everywhere to see me in plays. Although plays were hardly his thing. Thank you for marrying a man who encouraged me to be anything I wanted to be. Who never hit me, but like his father, managed to admonish with a deep slow voice. A trait I too have adopted.

Happy Father’s Day my darling daddy!

And thank you mum. You chose so very well.
