Fuel emergency level system: What happens at each stage, where are we now, are car bans included? There are four levels, similarly to the Covid alert system.

OH MY GOD THEY'RE DOING PANDEMIC LEVELS FOR FUEL

A colleague who lives in Australia saw my Pacman earrings one day. During Covid she started making earrings. She asked for my address. These turned up today. #RAOK

Day 29 was another pool day. Never skip leg day! Lots of kickboard work to try and get the engine room working a bit faster. At least sunrise was pretty!

When you can’t be arsed, tinned chili and poached eggs on toast works a treat for dinner.

NOT GETTING A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AND STRAIT INFRASTRUCTURE.

MINIMUM VIABILITY.

SMALLER FERRIES FOR MORE MONEY.

WORSE PORTS FOR THE SAME MONEY.

THIS IS COLOSSAL INCOMPETENCE.

I’m doing tinned Stagg chili on toast with poached eggs if it helps.

The thing that helped me most was taking 500mg of L-Lysine (in that particular formula). It’s an amino acid and it helped more than the drugs (I used both).

This is my very first post on Bluesky. As we reflect on the Royal Commission's final report on the COVID-19 response, let's not forget how we pulled together in uncertain times, and collectively saved each other. Let's not forget how much some individuals sacrificed for our collective wellbeing.

National lamenting $60 billion Covid spend while they are on track to borrow $120 billion with no pandemic.

Labour saved 20,000 lives.

National are saving landlords and tobacco

Will kick on (hopefully) at 5:30 to pre-heat (though I am doing a low temperature) and off at 7. I will be home by 6:30 to check it.

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

I am experimenting with what I used to know as "time bake" on our oven - set the start and finish time, including time for the oven to warm up. Will see when I get home if the oven kicked on and the hogget is warming. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

How Gloriavale's former leader avoided jail for sex offending spanning more than 20 years The judge ruled Howard Temple would not go on the Child Sex Offender Register.

Is it because of the misogyny embedded in the system?
