#ghosts #cosplay update: My Sister sent me my Mum’s old Captain pips! The jacket is borrowed so this means I can put the slides on any random hired jacket in the future. Being short worked in my favour here as I was able to use the offcuts from the trousers that were too long. ☺️

Met the big man tonight! @gregdaviescomedian.bsky.social you ARE a bloody legend and I love your work, young fella m’lad! Hope you like the socks 😍

Today’s the day!! #GregDavies tonight!

Why is my feed suddenly 90% ladies with their tits on show trying to catch my attention? I mean, I’m not mad about it - good on them and I hope they enjoy themselves - but it’s not why I’m on this platform eh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great day for it! #motosky

Ah, another round of that #Wellington favourite… “earthquake or wind”

I love learning new things, even at a little over 30* years old. Never be afraid of being one of the 10,000! *more like 50. Whatever.

When recovering from ankle surgery it is _not_ in fact recommended that you tear the calf muscle on the same side when demonstrating a kick at training. Recovery now slightly delayed and I will be teaching karate from a chair for a while so I’m not tempted to try more kicking and tear it further. 😕

😭😭😭

Ok so these are pineapple buttons but I think they are close enough to represent the Artillery Corps. And a little nod to Kitty too!🍍 @benwillbond.bsky.social I also have a swagger stick question if you are amenable?

It’s raining. kitty just came inside and jumped on the bed. Hubby: “are you wet?” Me: “not right now, but thanks for asking” 😂😂😂

When you have (in my daughters words), “a fat nap” but the watch was on charge so it didn’t record it so you can’t revel in how awesome a nap you had 🤨

Back to the pool today and I had a lane all to myself for 24 laps and a lovely spa afterwards. Love school holiday mornings!

Cookie really doesn’t want me to finish this puzzle.

@catconnor.bsky.social looks like my cat is a fan too…

18 years ago last night I was typing an email containing my school relief (*nnnghhhh*) for the last three days of (*nnnnghhhhh*) school totally convinced I was having Braxton-Hicks contractions. Nope. Real ones! Then the real fun began. Happy 18th my wee girl!!

I was on the panel for a #karate grading today. Hubby took a few action shots while I was on the floor testing this young lad for Brown belt. (He passed!)

I’m singing Evensong at Wellington Cathedral tonight. I mean, in part of a massed choir so it not like you’ll be able to hear me, but yeah. Come along if you’re in town at 4pm. #welly

I applied for a PPTA teacher sabbatical the day I took my current profile pic. I wanted to remember how confident and accomplished I felt that day. I thought my proposal was excellent and well-written and felt really good about my chances. Just got notified today that I didn’t get one. So gutted.

It seems my Bluesky is rapidly becoming mostly kitty content. I’m not mad about it.

This photo does NOT do justice to how steep this section was! But today I went on my first big walk since my #anklefusion. 10.8km and 4h 48min. Now in my bed after a lovely bath. Knackered!

More cat in the window content

Little bit of #kobudo training before my parent-teacher conferences tonight.

Peekaboo kitty

Happy spoon from dessert at Rosella for hubby’s bday. Almost the perfect weight and shape; a bit more rounded on the handle end and I may have been tempted to pop it in my bag 😅

Nailed it 🤓

Sometime in the coming week I will find out if I get the sabbatical I’ve applied for. If not, I have wait another year to apply. It’s nerve wracking. I can’t allow myself to get excited but I so want to start planning for my bucket-list trip of a lifetime. Argh!!

Today I went on a steam train from Paraparaumu to Levin for high tea (for a friend’s birthday). And I took a photo of some lovely windows.

Heading off to #karate in my thermals and fluffy-lined socks. #brrr 🥶

I’ve bloody loved following the #SilverFerns on their #CommonwealthGames journey. So awesome to watch them win gold at last!! But also, what is with the Aussies’ literal singlet-length “dresses”?

Minute Cryptic - 28 July, 2026 "Homeless? Say, you and I can trade places in deluxe retreat!" (6) Not only got with 0 hints, I got it in 5 seconds :)

The school field looking a bit crispy this morning ❄️

#ShortGirlLife at the #LegoStarWars exhibition in #welly today

Excellent weekend of #kobudo (weapons) training with Kyoshi Takuma Higashi, 8th Dan instructor. Didn’t go so well for my Sensei’s #nunchaku (that he was given by his Sensei many years ago). Was quite dramatic when I smashed the Bo with them and a piece flew across the room! Oops.

Oops. Took the motorbike out today but underestimated how damp the lawn was.
