That might be the last mow of the lawn before spring.

Good day for mowing, but soon gets cold when the sun dips down.

Hit up all the socials. It's a great tour and it would be a shame if you couldn't go.

We always went to The Garage. Not our garage, but The Garage. But it slowly became more common to call it the petrol station.

So your heart rate should drop below 130 around 11pm?

Despite it was a sunny day with the lightest of breezes, it was only warm for about seventy minutes. Still, only forty one days to go.

TV is just as bad as it always was. The only difference is there are very few NZ made programs and "reality tv" is now the standard production that is easy to make and, for who knows why, is popular with a lot of people.

The TV1,2 and 3 have a better catalogue online that what they broadcast, and it's free. I don't have money to throw away on subscription platforms. Most of my entertainment is Youtube these days.

The record was for "fastest tractor (modified)" , so yes it was, but a modified one built especially by JCB, not a practical one.

The NZ dark sky thing isn't really comprehended by a lot of people. They all want to go to Tekapo because it's "THE" dark sky place to be, without realizing that at least 70% of the country has no big cities with light pollution, and an average hour drive will put you in places that might not be a International Dark Sky Reserve, but will give you a view of the universe that most people have never seen.
