Miraz Jordan

I love simplicity and silence. On this blog I share bits and pieces from my daily life. In late 2025 I moved to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Since July 2024 I've been doing resistance training to help me maintain my independence as I age. Now 71, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants. My interests include reading cosy mysteries, things to do with language and linguistics, photos of birds, space opera scifi, especially Star Trek. I love learning things. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .

My trip home from the supermarket today includes an hour or two wait because the only road is blocked. 😒

A report on Facebook warns that a mobile home on a trailer is wedged against the Ohau River bridge causing the SH1 bridge to be blocked in both directions with no detour available and significant delays expected. A truck from Big Chill Distribution is parked on the side of a clear, sunny road with several cars ahead and mountains visible in the distance. A line of vehicles, including a camper van and trucks, is seen waiting on a sunny roadside bordered by greenery.
