We’ve started upgrading our local and community playgrounds. Now we’re looking at investing in bigger, more modern destination play. To do this, we need more ideas from the community. Have your say at bit.ly/3VgwJSE #destinationplaygrounds #play #dunedin ⁣

@SarahMcMullanNZ @TheBlockNZ The first few seasons that actually saw people able to buy their home were great. Now the concept is cruel

Waiting for police to visit - I’m sure my neighbours will have called them concerned about the sounds coming from my child.

@banquotrilogy 🤦‍♀️ why must these people be so very much themselves? Hope you’re ok. I can only imagine how exhausting it is

Men and birds

School holidays mean no sleep schedule in my house apparently. Last night was “midnight” walk by the beach (and request of youngest), tonight they’re camping in the lounge (at request of eldest). I need more coffee.
