TIN STAR 3: jumped the shark. Awful. Do not bother. Such a pity, the first two seasons were great.

I can hear Dave Dobbyn from the concert in the park and he’s set all the neighbourhood dogs barking

I’m fucking well weeping watching Miriama Kamo’s report on Ōtautahi Christchurch ten years after the big quake. I didn’t expect to feel like this. It’s always with us. Kia kaha, everyone. #eqnz

That woke me up in Christchurch. Really long, 30 seconds or so, but only light shaking, so obviously a big one a long way away. I see it’s off shore, north east. Hope everyone is OK. #eqnz

Bloody Hare Krishnas are back with a vengeance in Potts Point. I do wish they’d pack up their poxy tambourines and go and have a deep fried vegetarian feast somewhere

I ran out of toilet paper today in lockdown. Had to start using lettuce leaves. Today was the tip of the iceberg #sydneylockdown

Kia ora NZ film Twitter. I live in Sydney and would really like to watch Toa Fraser’s excellent te reo feature The Dead Lands again. Not currently available on any Aussie streamers. Any ideas about how I might be able to do that?

Instagram has started showing me ads about bunion surgery. NONE TAKEN

Currently googling: how to make bloody Apple TV work without paying for someone to come and sort it in 30 embarrassing seconds

This is gobsmacking! “There isn’t enough water falling from the sky or pouring down Canterbury’s rivers to dilute the nitrate contamination produced by thousands of tonnes of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and over a million dairy cows across the plains” greenpeace.org/aotearoa/press…

Chris Parker is a national treasure.
