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. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
Today's mid-summer supermarket craziness: $6 per head for iceberg lettuce.
Perhaps, to be fair, lettuces are mainly grown in the places covered by the 8 weather-related States of Emergency declared in Aotearoa so far in 2026. Severe weather States of Emergency in 2026 already match last year.
