I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, 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. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
At the gym in Levin I used weights in multiples of 5 kilos. At the gym in Ruakākā weights are in multiples of pounds so I'm updating my routines to weird amounts. [NZ adopted the metric system 50 years ago now.]
For example, my chest press set included reps at 6.8 Kg, 13.6 Kg and 20.5 Kg. Sigh.
