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 .
LOL. First — Can NZ First pull off the 'drill baby drill' moment it dreams of? | RNZ:
At the New Zealand First convention over the weekend, leader Winston Peters announced a plan to invest a billion dollars into surveying what oil and gas supplies could be extracted from the country's offshore basins.
Then — Greens promises to cut power bills and make solar more affordable with $980m 'KiwiPower' plan. 🤣
Can you tell it's election year?
