It’s March and a lot has happened in little Old Aotearoa New Zealand. For the last two years we had managed Covid 19 really well but with omicron it was almost too much to try and control so now it is here and we’re all tired and trying to figure out how to carry on…

A case of the puppy blues
I’ve been adjusting to life as a dog owner. I definitely had a case of the puppy blues – no matter how prepared you are to have a dog you cannot guess how you are going to react when you finally get the dog. In my case the puppy blues was more a mourning of…
Currently Thursday 9th April
So we are now two weeks into our lockdown…keeping in our bubbles. Which means I have been talking to my cat as if he were a real person. It also means that I have been dancing around my house and re-enacting film scenes with said cat…which, let’s face it, isn’t that different from what I’d…
The “B” word… (busy)
Last year I realised (and was told several times) that I was always busy. Every time someone asked how I was going I was quick to respond with busy – but I realised that busy, for me, was synonymous with stressed. I found that was I was doing a lot stuff that was really not…

What I’ve Been Doing …
So it’s the new year and I’ve been busy doing a million things over the school break. Most of them trivial but some of them important. The biggest thing is I have joined up with two other nerd minded people to create a collective blog called: This Nerd Life The aim is to have three…
Currently as an update…
What am I currently doing? Everything and nothing. Do you ever get to that stage where you just are stalled because you’re not sure what you really want to do. You have ideas, mood boards, lists, and a gigantic map that highlights your next steps but you’ve kind of stalled and have pulled over while…
Why I loved Wonder Woman.
I will be the first to admit that I am not as knowledgeable about Wonder Woman as I am about Batman and that side of the DC universe. Of course I remember watching re-runs of the 1970s show and I loved watching the Justice League cartoons when I was younger and, although I know about…
