I really enjoyed the movie 3 Generations.
Teenager Ray realizes and pursues his true identity as male and his mother, lesbian grandmother and absent father must learn to accept him for who he is.
This grubby, shaggy, smelly girl (and her equally everything brother) will be groomed this week. 🐶 Today I need to do the pre-groom ears and tail brushing.
Portrait mode helps me see this 2-metre Kowhai I planted amongst the bracken etc. Now wondering if I should add wind protection and a sturdier stake.
In the superb (free) The Science of Well-Being Course sometimes an aspect of vision is used to demonstrate how our mind’s intuitions can be completely wrong. Which table is longer? Answer at 2’44” on video.
I totally recommend this course, BTW.
Woohoo. I happened to post a photo on 31 January, so even though I haven’t yet done the ‘vision' post I’ve gained the 30-day photo challenge pin! 😀

Success, the tiny stray / feral ginger kitten trapped in the neighbour’s garage ran straight into my cat carry crate … and then popped straight out the other end. The plastic crate is ancient and decrepit and falling to bits. 🐈 It’s a total cutie, that kitten, but needs care.
Time to leap into a gorgeous new day.
Hey @Bix Apparently one can manipulate images on a Mac via Terminal with SIPS. Try “mac command line SIPS” in your search engine for instructions. May help with your png needs? Free. 😀
Re my last:
Ever since my first day on the job as a Starfleet Captain, I swore I’d never let myself get caught in one of these Godforsaken paradoxes. The past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache.

Today is where I realise I should have stuck with NZ time for the photo challenge instead of trying to do it a ‘day behind' to match others. Today is 29 February and the challenge word is ‘leap’, which I’ll now do tomorrow. 😒
Our neighbour’s house is slightly below ours. These marquees on their lawn are ready for their daughter’s beach wedding today (when it has finally rained after weeks of dry and heat). The garden needs the rain. The happy couple don’t. 😖
Kiwis — want to know about vaccinations we can / should have? See New Zealand Immunisation Schedule.
Wish I’d known to have a Whooping Cough vaccine before I was afflicted a few years back, but who knew? Seems I’m due a Diphtheria/Tetanus booster.
I get a flu shot each year.
This 20 minute discussion between 2 doctors is a must listen: I’m a grown-up. What vaccines do I need?
I’d already booked for my free Shingles shot next week.
Grown-ups need vaccinations too, and data … suggests most of us think we’re up to date with our shots — but we’re not.
This is pleasing. Not only do we sometimes get 4 or 6 hours of free electricity with Genesis, but we get an annual refund too.
Electra is pleased to advise that your Electricity Sales Discount of $170.93 … will be credited to your next electricity account.
That’s a free month!
I’ve only just downloaded, but am keen to read Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal. If you’ve never used the command line to do stuff on your Mac, take a look. It’s really cool what you can do, and a fun thing to learn about.
Downloaded Tot notes app to try it out. The website doesn’t want to work in Safari on my Mac so I had to use Firefox. The Help file gave me eyestrain: small pale grey text on white. In a Note the Format menu allows larger text, thank goodness! Tiny text is a bane of my life now!
These two have been together (and with us) for a little over 13 years now. Sasha and Oshi. 🐶
For some this is their weekend escape. For me it’s pretty much daily enjoyment. Beach, sea, Kāpiti Island.
This little cutie stunned herself flying into our window. I believe she’s a juvenile European Goldfinch. Now she’s sitting on the grass, recovering.
