I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, 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 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! Proudly a Free Being, eschewing the arbitrary. 100% human (she / her). I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
A couple of years ago I ordered a down jacket and vest from Wear on Earth:
Custom made down jackets and vests right here in Christchurch, New Zealand.
100% European Goose Down with 750 Loft
Website and customer service were poor, but the gear is excellent. Warm and toasty!
Jean MacDonald I read the timeline in reverse chronological order, so this post had me scratching my head, until I got to your earlier weather update. Wow, that is cold!
