If you're passing by Pokeno, stop in for a coffee and a bite to eat at Miranda Farm Shop and Café.

They trespassed Kelvyn Alp today and his cooker army is giving them a bit of a hard time.

Is pokeno still a thing??

I never had the tolerance for it much anyway — I don’t get the adrenaline rush from winning - but my grandma routinely beat my ass in pokeno just in case.
My dad was a great card player, and we used to have huge extended family poker nights each Thanksgiving. When we were old enough, my brother and I were invited to join. Dad routinely won our money and refused to give it back. He wanted to teach us that gambled money is gone gone, and I learned.
This gambling thing is really going to bite us all in the ass.

Tiny Grandpa is making the long, weekly trek to the next village over to play pokeno with his wife's friends. He hates pokeno and her friends are loud.

This is a post for the Railway History Nerds Who Know™, but Winston having ministerial responsibility for rail? Oh man, Paeroa–Pōkeno Deviation goes brrrrrrrrrr, time to party like it's 1929
“Cabinet has agreed to set aside $900 million to buy new Cook Strait Ferries.

As part of the deal; Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has agreed to give Winston Peters a new role and will give him ministerial responsibility for rail.”

Looks like I'm heading up to Pōkeno first thing in the morning to help out now she's home.
Today continues to today. Dad's wife had a nasty fall that had her smash her head into concrete so she's in the hospital until she gets transferred (because Auckland won't do the MRI for someone who lives in Counties but Middlemore will) but CAT and x-ray was clear.
A low level of constant rage today at *waves hands at everything* on top of a low energy not great health day.
I'm exhausted. I want hugs and treats. But the treats would probably hurt my tummy.
I did write a poem and work on the course though.
So I guess today is a win
