I know irl so love engaging with this community. Love to learn May not post much but when I comment it's meant.
Such remarkable patience results in another beautiful offering from the House of Hetet. Sam wears it wonderfully.

Thank you for the perspective Aliya.

Brilliant Kim, congratulations - that's very special.

I have family members (lifetime National voters) who voted TOP last time as didn't warm to Luxon. I expect they'll do the same this year. Our conversations are very fraught.

I'm as baffled as you.

They're refugees from NACT and NZ First who will never ever vote red labour, satanic greens, or too hot to handle TPM. Never read a manifesto or considered anyone but themselves. Then there'll be " but this isn't what I voted for" !

That's wonderful news. Congrats and don't keep beating yourself up. You are amazing.

Totally agree Sarah. I said to a family member just yesterday that I don't recognise us anymore. Jarring, sad, and very disheartening.

In 2023 election my UK resident grandson with a Masters in International Relations was eligible to vote here as had been home for a visit. He analysed all the manifestos and said the only possible vote for him here was TPM which he did. My East Auckland friends were aghast, I beamed with pride.

Brag brag away Caroline - you are both outstanding. Much congratulations and love to you both .

That was my first thought too. Obscenely indifferent to the suffering of communities.

Fab wallpaper - perfect behind your grandad.

I'm sorry about that Cath. Seems it's always been that way. Let's hope that it's the worst of the comments and actions.

The customer has to be onboarded first.

Thanks for posting Frank. So good.

I found the Maritime Museum in Aberdeen fascinating. Also the old fishing village of Footdee which is an easy walk from Maritime Museum. Unfortunately the art gallery and and Museum were both closed for renos.

Sooo good Paul, I managed to see the last 2 wickets - just fantastic. So proud of them.

Whilst yesterday my neighbours cut down the remaining trees on their fenceline. Previous owner lovingly planted them 40 yrs ago.

Such great news. Congratulations.

Thanks Paul - oh how I love the bagpipes.

Thanks for that Mark. I also appreciated the mostly considered responses - a tad more depth than we get in most if our press.

Panicked and patronising.

Wow never heard/seen anything quite like it!
