#aotearoadons — Public Fediverse posts

Ngā mihi o te tau hou. Happy New Year! I'm off my "holiday" from SM.

Well, we had a great break, I got some of the funding for both my volunteer community projects - the new #CentralAndWesternArchive computer arrived and is set up and now the new scanner has come in the post and is waiting to be picked up Monday, so lots of excitement here, many thanks to the Tūātapere TeWaeWae Community Board for their funding our new equipment.

It is makariri (cold), all the curtains are closed and Panda 🐼 Cat🐈 is NOT amused. She is extremely territorial so can't see out to protect her domain. She KNOWS she is not allowed in curtains to destroy the baby plantlings, and yet... The snap of her doing "oh shit you've seen me, now what do I do" is most hilarious!

As long as she stays away from the plants I've now compromised to letting her lie beside them #SheRules #QueenCat

#AtaMārie #NZTwits #Aotearoadons and others... if you are in our beautiful country and like the idea of local grown, fresh, often organic or at least spray free food that is cheap and supporting others to live in your community, check out the #OpenFoodNetwork on the link. Open ones right now are Whenuapai, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Kōpūtai Port Chalmers, Aparima Riverton (which includes delivery to most of Western Murihiku Southland) and Tūātapere, some even post out : https://openfoodnetwork.org.nz/shops#/

#CW #Colonialism Not sure this is the right place to ask, but I do hope I get some consideration for why I am asking... had someone turn up here today telling me I can't write my local history without reading "Before the Māori", some (I believe) apparent bullsh!t about govt and #GLAM coverups...sounds like a right conspiracy theory nutwingjob writer, but I have to ask... has any scholarly rebuttal been put out about this so called "professional" work? #NZTwits #Aotearoadons #Histadon #NZHistory

#PōMārie #NZTwits #Aotearoadons Well we finally got the new to us old 2nd hand bike going after it broke down on picking it up... Now we seem to have lost the front guard on the road! So going back to look for it. Sigh. Great riding day tho & good fuel economy, cheap freedom traveling #Murihiku #motorbike #BMW #AfternoonRiding
