I presume my views on this are now widely understood.

My house is finally fixed at least!

Husband just went to bed. Which was good because it left more wine for me.

Therapist said to drink some wine and I did and now I feel better.

Drunk. But better!

Thank you 🙏

Yes we are hopefully getting there.

Me too 😭

It is!

🤞🤞🤞

🙏Thank you

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I’ll be ok after a nights sleep I think.

Thanks 🙏 I think I’m just really tired. The hospital staff have been great. It’s just been a really hard stretch in the midst of a bigger hard stretch.

I need a holiday. And a massage. And like a really nice dinner out.

Kiddo still in hospital. Not sure yet for how long.

Very tired. Very annoyed our health service can’t provide decent food for patients. Very annoyed that the agencies that are supposed to support our family aren’t able to do so without an argument.

But most of all just exhausted. 😩

I’m worried we won’t be able to buy if this continues . . . export controls seem likely.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

Kiddo having an issue. We are regulars here. Just tired at being here yet again.

The FO is going to be tough.

Yes. I’m horrified to discover just bad the situation actually is. Like Surry there must be meetings happening today to develop a better plan.

Diesel? Surely it’s got to be right?

Sigh.

So tired.

I’m not in any loops but I can read primary documents and looks at info. I’ve concluded the same: trouble. Real trouble.

Ahhh I am not much of a LinkedIn person, so I missed this.

Really wondering where the good conversation about our actual situation is happening. It looks bad to me, but I am very keen for insight from people with expertise on this matter . . .

Just an accounting scam not guarantees of hard stock stored in tanks ready for NZ

Fair enough!

Kelly Eckhold on X: "The next two boats arrive to New Zealand on 18 and 19 March. They are currently situated off Indonesia. That’s 10 days away at which time the stocks will be down to around 17-18 days." / X The next two boats arrive to New Zealand on 18 and 19 March. They are currently situated off Indonesia.

Ummm but what if the plan is Not Good?

Kelly Eckhold doing some useful posting over on hellsite on this topic. I also have a thread of primary sources from NZ gov I put together in the past couple of days.

God I hate this idea. People are not one more image of a dead baby away from radicalisation. We don't lack will, we lack any real means to act on our will because the left has ceased to be a political project and become a few thousand people trying to Post their way out of Posting.

And when they bombed other people's houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house. I took a chair outside and watched the sun. In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war. ilya kaminsky, "we lived happily during the war"

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

As a small country, everyone in AoNZ ought to support the rule of law and international mechanisms/ institutions to maintain it, as it is the only thing stopping someone like Trump or Putin coming here and taking whatever they want. #NZpol
