Mixed feelings about Floralinda. I loved the novella, but the ending was my least favourite part so I’m not sure if I want more. But I’m still hopeful it will be great (even though I would have preferred an Alecto release ☠️)

With the NZ election coming soon, just a note that my stance on the majority of issues is TAX THE RICH
I used to be paid quite highly and I would have happily paid more tax to have a better health system, better infrastructure, better education, and less poverty

I decided to bus home from town after a tiring run. I thought someone had pushed the buzzer for my stop but the driver went past, so I pushed it for the next stop…
And he went past again!
Got him to stop at the next stop and he said oh sorry I was daydreaming lol 😅
