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 .

The bay at Russell was very peaceful in the morning.

After a short stroll we ended up at Hell Hole cafe for coffee and tea. I really liked the lamp shades.

Russell was originally called Kororareka or Hell Hole.

Sailboats and a catamaran are anchored on a calm body of water under a partly cloudy sky. People are dining and conversing inside a cozy café with patterned wallpaper, eclectic decor, and warm lighting. A menu titled Hell Hole - Kororāreka is clipped to a board, describing the location's historical significance and the food offerings at the establishment.
