I put the spare key to my bicycle battery in A Very Safe Place. Don’t know where that is? Funnily enough, neither do I…
And somehow the very act of writing that, after searching the house twice, reminded me I’d put it in the car!
Sasha and Oshi are preparing for the synchronised napping competition in the next doggie Olympics. I think they’re in with a good chance! 🐶 Oshi maybe needs to work slightly on his tail placement.
With autumn heading towards winter we’ve cleared nearly everything out of our tunnelhouse. In future we aren’t going to plant directly in the soil, but will set up a hydroponic system of pots, like the two in the photo. Next I need to clean the plastic. 🌱
My Sasha has a dream. 🐶
I’m all caught up on watching For All Mankind on TV+. It was compelling viewing. So glad to know a Season 3 is on the cards.
I always have tinnitus. It’s worse when I’m tired. When I’m stressed I don’t get back to sleep after waking in the night. That makes me tired and gives me a headache. Then the tinnitus gets worse which stresses me more. Today it all reached a crescendo. Luckily a nap helped. 🤯
Glee the Japanese Quail decided to sit on eggs a couple of weeks ago. Her sister Fliss helps occasionally. I thought they’d pretty much stopped laying so left them to it, but now there are a good dozen toasty eggs in the nest. There’s no male, so nothing will come of it… 🐦


It’s a miracle! About 10 hours of sleep and I’m not even sick. Amazing. Normally I’m pretty happy if I can get it up to 8 hours. Hooray for circumstances aligning.
In getting ahead of things: I’ve changed the analogue kitchen clock, toothbrush clock, 2 cameras, oven clock. Yet to change: the car clock.
I’ve been watching, and enjoying, S01 of For All Mankind. So much smoking and drinking! I’m amazed the astronauts were able to pass any of their physicals! Nice twist, with the alternate space race history.
Today’s a day where I wish I had a Klingon Cloaking Device. I want to be invisible to the world — go for a bike ride without anyone noticing me, sit in the sun at home without any messages or emails or neighbourly waves. About to risk that bike ride…
Tomorrow’s the day to put the clocks back in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Daylight saving ends when clocks go back by 1 hour at 3am on 4 April 2021.
Next change: September.
I’m remembering that I stopped watching The Flash somewhere in Season 6. I’ve started Season 7, but it’s utterly underwhelming — pretty boring, pretty silly. It’s a shame… I’d like to settle in and watch some stuff today.
Just before dawn was too dark for a selfie, but I took one anyway. Apart from missing a day last week, I still do a selfie each day for my own album. It’s been years now.
LOL: Supergirl Recap Episode 601
as Kara points out, “Only four of us can fly.” Which I think is selling themselves a little short. I think maybe saying, “And there aren’t enough of us,” would have sufficed; four is a pretty high number of people who can fly in any given friend group. Even on a CW sci-fi show.
I loved this 20 minute video — it was such fun. The more I see Janelle Monae perform the more gorgeous I think she is. I love to see her perform.
This poor fellow next door has been in my line of vision for quite a while — maybe since yesterday — without moving. Today I checked on him and he couldn’t get up. I’ve alerted the farmer. I hope the farmer turns up soon.
So well deserved: How Siouxsie Wiles became ‘the Covid lady’, then New Zealander of the year:
microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles was named New Zealander of the Year – Te Pou Whakarae o Aotearoa …she has … become synonymous with calm, clear, compassionate communication
One of the two lakes at the end of the road was looking so blue this morning!
Drove a 2-hour round trip (+ time for a couple of quick errands) and took the dogs along. They used to be really good in the car — we’d forget they were there. Now aged 14 those days are gone. Panting started early outbound. By half-way home they were distressed. Sigh. 🐶
