I frequently admire our neighbour’s large Tīkouka or cabbage tree. What a fine specimen!

Something to keep in mind — You Are Dying Every Day:

It’s easy to see death as this thing that lies off in the distant future. …We think of dying as an event that happens to us. It’s stationary—whatever date it will happen at—and we’re moving towards it, slowly or quickly, depending on our age and health.

Seneca felt that this was the wrong way to think about it… Instead, he said, death was a process—it was happening to us right now. We are dying every day, he said.

The Shoreline movie theatre in Waikanae is one of those small ones with two-seater couches. Since our last visit they have installed (presumably) Covid screens.

What an excellent movie! A Call to Spy:

inspired by the true stories of three women who worked as spies in Churchill’s Secret Army.

Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance.

Just watch it!

Processing: I’m imagining some factory worker in China polishing the Apple logo, dusting off the chips, inspecting the connections, tightening the screws…
