Oat milk for us on cereal (especially rolled oats) and often for coffee.
Yes, Patricia, I sometimes think Alwyn is part of the 'Convoy of Stupid' Grant Robertson was referring to in his Valedictory speech earlier this week.
What a basket case our Government is - words fail me.
Onya - Phillip Mills. If only some more well off people with a conscience would do the same. His stance has been published previously, but I just hope he doesn't face a backlash from the usual suspects. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350210940/richlister...
310.1 for me.
I couldn't possibly afford his fees, so I should simply move on and shut up.
Being the cricket tragic that I am, I still get more than slightly annoyed when I see the name of Scott Kuggeleign on the Black Caps playing team. OK, I know that he was charged with rape and found not guilty, which should be the end of it. I still ...
On the 30th annivesary of my late mum's 88th birthday celebration (a lunch at the Kopu Hotel) and a couple of months before she died, mum would have been mortified by what's happening in Parliament at present. She and my dad were literally rescued by the ...
My first thought too Brigitte.
I wonder what our esteemed Minister of Fisheries has to say about this - the article states quite clearly that there had been two commercial fishers in the area. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350189945/never-seen-anything-it-hundreds-dead-fish-wash-...
Alwyn, I certainly recall reading a directive from the new Minister - I'm sure it was Carmel Sepuloni asking that WINZ staff treat their clients with dignity and compassion. Whether it got through to some of the Managers - I'm not sure and I'm not entirely...
Our son, daughter in law and family have lived in Melbourne for 20 years, where the temperature often gets up into the high 30s and low to mid 40s during the summer months, but still find it difficult to cope with Auckland and Waikato summers with the ...
Sorry Weka, but I'm out of here for the duration, I thought Anne's comment was as usual very thoughtful and made a good point about our fellow traveller Dennis Frank's 'thinly disguised smears about others with impunity'. It's been a worthwhile journey ...
Really -
A very interesting read today in the Herald (yes, I confess I subscribe). I like Mary Holm's no nonsence advice on money matters. Today a letter to her asked 'I find it appalling and upsetting that many people seek your advice on how to beat the tax man.' ...
Oh dear, Tama Potaka getting his arse spanked at the National Iwi Chairs Forum at Kerikeri - oh dear, how sad, never mind. I suppose he's trying to inject a bit of humour into the proceedings. I have no time for David Seymour by the way and I'm not trying ...
Thank you Observer - I'm always tempted to have a crack, but fear I would lose my cool.
C'mon Dennis - since when has Chris Trotter been remotely leftist. I gave up on Bowalley Road (and the Daily Blog also) a few years ago now.
Thanks all - yep, that's the guy. Hope the Judge throws the book at him.
Last evening I stumbled across an article on my Tablet, published in the Herald about a bar owner who had been in Court mainly about a 'celebration' when Jacinda Ardern had handed in her resignation last year which had got our of control. I endeavoured to ...
bwaghorn - my husband emigrated to Aotearoa N Z in 1962 as a $10 Pom which didn't necessitate him having a passport to enter. We travelled to UK in 1998, hubby on a UK passport. He has since let it lapse and is now a very proud Kiwi with citizenship and a ...
Ummm - I for one am very grateful to our former PM as I had covid nearly 2 years ago which affected my heart, which I gather would have been far worse if I hadn't been vacinated (I continue to keep up to date with my boosters) and take extra care as Covid...
True dat
Nothing to do with politics or the war in Gaza or similar - our youngest offspring turns 50 today. I'm feeling a bit more ancient and decrepit just thinking about it. Happy birthday to our beautiful girl, who has had a pretty rough deal at times with a ...
We were with the National Bank of NZ/ANZ Bank for 52 years until John Key became Chairman. We baled out and went to Kiwibank, a decision we have not regretted at all. Now that Jessica Mutch McKay has joined that nest of vipers, it has just reinforced our ...
What is the matter with some people - just read this on Stuff. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/133506582/endangered-native-dotterel-chick-missing-after-vandals-trash-breeding-site
Hear, hear, Tony Veitch - season's greetings to you all, especially to Patricia Bremner and Anne, whom I reckon are probably in my age group (yep, 80 next year for me) and we all share the same political values, been there done that. See y'all next year.
Woops, that's supposed to a reply to Philip Ure's comment.
I'm busy stocking up my supply of popcorn đ
