I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I also enjoy drinking tea — green, white, yellow, but not black. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, which I love, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In 2025 I expect to move to Ruakākā near Whangārei. Apparently the bizarre is normal now. Now 69, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! Proudly independent. 100% human (she / her). I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018.

I’m sick of the westerly wind today. Why is NZ so windy?
The “Roaring Forties" is the belt of wind at latitude 40 south… the Southern Hemisphere in the 40s is mostly ocean …. With a lack of land to slow things down the wind whips up across the sea, fuelled by storms
