  • Open on mastodon.nz

A kiwi. A builder. A musician. A believer in science ahead of fallacies.
Like to ponder because it's good for the brain and doesn't require too much physicality.
Only swear when I'm frustrated, annoyed or just plain P......off.
I live in South Canterbury. The most livable climate in Aotearoa NZ.
An Otrovert.

A walk along a beach brings perspective at times. Just hang in there.

Going to have a jamb with a friend today. We've been talking about doing something for two years! So packing in my old guitar, harps and a pile of songs on paper and soft fingers through lack of fretting anything and a couple of beers (to lubricate my vocals of course) and enthusiasm and my hat! This could be a lot of fun!

Going to be an interesting day. A prop plane Timaru to Wellington. A jet plane to Auckland. A bus to a train to Britomart, Te Ara Tahuhu. A walk to the ferry terminal. A ferry to Waiheke Island. I think the forecast is all good. Tally-O! #planes #trains #buses #ferry

We had a leader once.
Thank you Jacinda and congratulations to you and the makers of Prime Minister.

Gumboot ruler is how we do it here.

This makes far more sense in measuring rainfall than how many Olympic Swimming pools ( there aren't many Olympic Swimming pools around here)
Good on ya metservice.

Nats change their mind like the weather. But it is the weather after all being the subject matter to funding a bloody LNG terminal that no one wants. Nicola has a billion dollar contingency pot that might just be the ticket they decide on. ( Auckland volcanoes are on hold for another year)
November 7th is a big day for NZ. We actually get a say.

Had a video call with my daughter today. About 5 mins in, a message appeared on my phone that her phone battery was low and we may lose contact soon.
So what else is WhatsApp siphoning from her and probably both our phones, while in a call.
Am I worrying about nothing out of the ordinary/ shouldn't be concerned/ it's all encrypted/ just the way it works boyo, here?

They are on the The Kawatiri Coastal Trail in a small stream at a small settlement on the trail called Omau. I'm not sure their type. Here's a short video. One very large grandaddy.

NZ is good at training medical professionals but not good at retaining them. So we rely on overseas trained doctors especially to fill the need.
My home town is attracting some top line professionals for our health services.
It's a nice place to live.

#Timaru

When the small South Island town of Timaru and its cluster of US doctors hit the front page of the Wall Street Journal last week, it highlighted New Zealand's dependence on overseas doctors, particularly in rural and regional parts of the country.

Stand in front of the nation and say it PM Luxon. Someone or something? is in your office on The Kings Birthday saying we are all sweet and we're still on track!

Where the fuck are you!

@Daojoan@mastodon.social I travelled around Europe, incl UK , in a 1959 Kombi. That era of VWKombi is still very much alive 70 years later. If you have $NZ100,000 you can own one. Tesla in 70 years? $US10 if you're lucky.

@paulhellyer@mastodon.nz I suspect it's the guano that will attract multinational mining companies. As long as there's no threat to the harbour entrance by the guardians. Oh. They are shifting them. Solved.
