Silke

Civic duty done meaning I can now zen out of NZ politics for a bit and just be happy until we all find out, and probably be sad, one way or the other. I don't see me being politically happy this time round. It is what it is.

When the people in the voting place are all creatives. ❤️ Lovely and depressing at the same time.

A 19-year-old just told me i was cute. I'll take it.

On Sunday, Jehova's witnesses came knocking. The Ring camera tells me so. We've got a HUGE sign on the door not to knock. They laughed at it. I truly WISH I had heard the doorbell ring. I really wish. 😤

Feeling the urge to make some earrings.

If all I do today is gentle admin and to cook something yum, I'll be fine. Not on top of it all, fighting fatigue & headaches. (Always have to have an eye on the headaches - been known to have migraine in all its forms, mild for weeks, aura, or full swing "get that fucking light away from me!")

A gentle reminder that summer, with all of its festivals, camping trips and family sharing a bach, is right ahead. Earplugs will be your best friends. ❤️ Get some for the whole family for bulk buy price reductions! pocomoto.co.nz/product/atte... (Now with correct punctuation and no typos 😄)

How to know someone is a truly awful person: Ani O'Brien thinks they're cool.

Bit of a shocker to hear about the death of Micheal of eg Albi & The Wolves. That was a nice man, and gosh, that's so rough for any band, but those guys are all so lovely; it's bloody awful to have a band member die.

I know this won't say anything to anyone much... I was just looking at my stats, and I find ~7500 people looking at my website per month a huge lot of people. The time people spend there is also very long, currently 6min on average. That's so nice! My past job had 750k ppl looking for ~1min.

Some bored, geriatric South African dude just went back through my public FB posts and laughed at every one of them. I blocked him. Take away his little hobby. Maybe I called his alt account a racist. I called a lot of people racist today because they were being racists.

Has day off, works. Bad Silke.

Makes confit garlic, then has confit garlic with literally everything...

I think Dinosair Jr next year will sell out. Didn't think it would sell this fast!

Back then, who knew Hennef would be so surrounded by music. Little old Hennef that no one really knows even exists.

There were blue whales in the Bay Of Islands today. I'm not near water enough.

But can that minor(?) internet celeb fill Spark? Dunno!

There's some sort of issue around people eating pizza in the wrong place and I know I should be concerned about my colleagues having to deal with it, but my mind os just going, mmmm, pizza.

Got each of us, O, W and myself a nice perfume/aftershave. Not pricey, just cheapies, you know, as a nice thing. O will love hers, it's unisex and she identifies as bigender (a term she prefers over enby or genderqueer).

Yay to the good people on the Square giving away free indian snacks. That samosa was the bomb!

Oh Zeus, I'm still awake. Turns out my PHP was updated, phew, but I did back everything up, just in case, and then there was actually an URGENT order for a birthday, and we can't not have them have the birthday gifts so I packed those. May I please go to bed? ❤️

The youth of today (I'm obviously ancient) can't afford deodorant. For real.

Slow Rage killing it, as per usual.

Oh, silly, my website didn't send me the last two days of orders! Sorry everyone, will send them out tomorrow, or respond to emails re pick up tonight after work.

New drink sampling at 4pm in the office. A thimble for me, got to work after work.

Dinosaur Jr at Town Hall in January. Hurrah!

Android was updated last night, and now it finds my fingerprint hard to read. Pretty sure i haven't greatly mutated over night.

2 x 16-h-days in a row will be rough. In anticipation, I slept 12h last night. It was glorious.

This morning in the office feels like I'm the only one who didn't get the WFH memo.
