A nice thing that happened yesterday is I was standing in my front garden admiring the sunset - which was like a banked fire, all dark grey clouds lit up bright orange-red underneath, with some fluffy clouds floating in front of it like smoke - when I guy walked past and said "nice work on the garden, I walk past it a lot and it's looking really good" and then I realised if I hadn't done all that work on it I wouldn't have such a nice view of the sunset because of the overgrown bushes. #goodthings #sunsets #gardening

This time of year is weird for a #SouthernHemisphere gardener because I'm seeing all your #VegetableGardening posts on here and it's late Summer harvests, like beautiful tomatoes and etc. and here I am just starting to think about what I'm going to plant this Spring

This is Pegasus Books in Wellington. I took these pictures because I wanted to remember how it feels. The first thing I notice is how incredibly quiet it is. It's a big quiet; it envelopes you. It's not just a lack of music; I am unaware of even the other customers. I realise later, it must be the books. Every wall and a lot of the floor is lined with books. It is a reassuring feeling. This labyrinth of books, books to the ceiling with ladders, books overflowing and stacked on the floor. Knicknacks stuck in everywhere, too, often in theme with the books, just as often random. Old saggy ottomans and chairs wedged into corners. Hand written signs everywhere. It's not the only second hand book store left in Wellington, but it's the only one that feels like this. #SecondhandBookshop #Bookshop

Just going through my 'downloads' folder thinking I should organise these memes and such and apparently I need a folder just for David Tennant #DavidTennant

Talking to my parents about when we went sailing around the South Pacific in the 80's and how you kept in touch pre-Internet. They had a ham radio, they did a check-in with a friend once a week. But then there was Pacific Net. This was one guy, a hobbyist with a big antenna somewhere in Hawaii. He did a broad cast daily at a set time. Gave weather updates and did check-ins. You'd ask to be added to his check-in list. He would ask for your check-in and you would give your location and your heading. Tell about weather conditions and any other news you had. He would give you information about your location he'd gathered from everyone else he talked with. Like "this is what to expect at the port you are headed for" etc. If you heard someone on the check-in that you wanted to talk to, you'd ask them to switch to another channel for a private chat. Absolute early Internet vibes. #sailing #HamRadio #PreInternet

@npub196ky...nzq5 I cut a hole in my wall so my cat could hang out in the closet so yes completely agree. (an nice looking hole)

I just want you to know that if you need a scoop for your dog food, cat litter, potting soil, or what have you, you can make one - easily and quickly - out of a milk jug with a pair of sharp scissors.
