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.

We watched Tenzing and it was superb. Highly recommend:
based on Nepalese-Indian Sherpa Norgay's 1953 ascent of Mount Everest with New Zealand climber Hillary.
… Principal photography commenced in Nepal …, with filming on location in Kathmandu and the Everest region. Filming wrapped … in New Zealand.
The two hours didn't feel long at all as we accompanied the climbers on their gruelling climb, interspersed with flashbacks from Tenzing's life.
