Dunedin people on 1/1: The sky is orange. Must be smoke from the fires. Chch people on 2/1: The sky is orange. Must be smoke from the fires. Auckland people on 5/1: THE SKY IS ORANGE OH NO IT’S THE APOCALYPSE CALL 111 WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE

“Oooohhh, these 2 are so cute, they are DEFINITELY going to work”. Classic me watching the first episode of a new series of MAFS. One day I might be right.

This could be a long game. When it starts raining 6s, who’s going to fetch the ball and throw it back on to the field? #AUSvNZ

Just recalled a radio news snippet I heard the other day and rubbished at the time. Turns out though, Michael Clarke wasn’t far off. No one turned up, just not for the reason he predicted #AUSvNZ

Interesting trip to the supermarket tonight, taking note of what shelves were bare. Pasta, frozen peas, pies, tomato sauce and tissues are among the items in short supply 🤔

Working from home, listening to my kids in the next room discussing true love (no idea why). The 7yo says ‘sometimes when you’re an adult, you find true love’. The 5yo says ‘I’ve already got true love, I’ve got Mum’ 😍🥰😘 #kids #QuarantineLife #workingfromhome

If only... #lifebeforelockdown

Mr 7 lost tooth #7 tonight. Thank goodness Jacinda Ardern says the tooth fairy is an essential worker. Just not sure the tooth fairy has any cash in her possession right now... 🤔 #Contactless #ToothFairy

Gave my husband a very hard time today after finding a large unopened box in the shed, which I assumed was a case of him making an impulse buy online and getting it delivered to work so I wouldn’t know (not the first time!). Turns out it was my birthday present. Oops. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Check out the difference in my iPhone activity rings, pre lockdown v lockdown 🤣🤣 #lockdown2020 #exercise

A story comes on the news about yet another setback for the One NZ Warriors. I respond ‘what a story it’s going to be when they overcome everything and take it out’. My husband just about wet himself laughing. #noideawhy #KeepTheFaith #NRL

When a fun afternoon heads south.

Let the fairytale comeback they’ll make a movie about one day, commence. Go the One NZ Warriors #nrl #NRLWarriorsDragons

Did something today that I haven’t done in almost 20 years. I went to the dentist. It was almost as terrifying as I had feared, but incredibly given the time that’s passed, I only need 4 fillings. I expected far worse.

What the actual heck? Why now? They’ve been through worse times with him at the helm but kept him on. With everything the Warriors have sacrificed, too... this just makes such little sense.

Hey police reporter Jaime Pitt-MacKay, you need to write a story on this and put your byline on it. Police seek Jamie Mackay, by Jaime Pitt-Mackay 🤣

What an absolute arse of a man 🙄

Question - do the Australian cricket team and commentators know how much they’re truly despised by those not on Australian shores? Or do they actually think they’re the cool kids? 🤔 #idiots

Have we finally found the key to beating the Aussies? We should’ve started confining them in their hotel rooms for 2 weeks before playing them years ago.

So you know how you google something, or talk about something, then it randomly appears in your newsfeed? Last night my feed included a pig giving birth. This morning it includes a horse and then a sheep giving birth. WTF?! A little bit concerned… 🤣
