@WendyWings I'm still here, not sure why, but I am. Hi there!

@ElectricLit Oh no, I'm reading a dystopian Jane Austen retelling. I swore it was literary fiction

A Very Serious guide to figuring out whether the book you’re reading is literary fiction or genre fiction buff.ly/42QxKHn

@MetService @CivilDefenceWKT @AklCouncil Yep, torrential here in eastern Waipa with continuous rumbling thunder

⚡Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Southern Auckland and Waikato⚡ ⛈️5pm - 10pm today for Southern Auckland and Waikato, thunderstorms may be SEVERE producing LOCALISED DOWNPOURS of 25 to 40 mm/h. @CivilDefenceWKT @AklCouncil Stay up to date: bit.ly/AllWarnings

@urbanistfromwhk @ChrisPenknz Not just Akl. Recently stayed in an Air B &B in Christchurch. Brand new double storied terrace. Sweltered so much upstairs I mentioned it in review. Impossible to sleep even with windows open. Two of us ended up sleeping downstairs on couches.

@JoeBangles11 I don't like lavender ice cream so I doubt I'd like the cheese. Happy to try it though - even if it does look like soap

Would you try Lavender Gouda?

@NZTransitBuzz Great news, now if we could just make it faster and more frequent it would be perfect.

#TrainNews: Te Huia is reporting a growth in patronage with the latest figures reporting 20% more passengers compared to the same time in 2023.

@Pal_zoology And then they find something wrong, a broken fish bone or a fish tumour - we need to see what happens next.

Random animals getting x-rays is my favorite genre of image, I mean look at this thing.......pathetic

@chamfy I've been twice in the last few months. Up from Cambridge to get my dose of culture. I love the print at the end of their apartment living room with all the art. Imagine being surrounded by that every day😍

Plus Degas and Rodin. Incredible that the Robertson Gift at the Auckland Art Gallery is both free and permanent. Important not to forget that urbanism is also about easy access to quality cultural institutions(and not just trains and cycleways)

@Cipper_____ Also I'm not sure if your are planning on doing the round the mountain hike. There is a section of track closed due to slips so check before your go

@kiwipippa Thank you for this! Are you in NZ?

It doesn’t look too close from New Plymouth to that volcano, wonder if i can walk it in a day there and back.

@Cipper_____ Yes, I was in New Plymouth a couple of weeks ago. It's a beautiful region. Have a great trip

@wgc5464 @Robotink3 @parisCo_ I have to agree with Walter. If they were empty we'd throw them out. But mostly empty means maybe one day I'll use that

@Robotink3 @parisCo_ Usually it’s mostly empty bottles, not empty ones

jus moved…what’s this lil space for

@RichardHills_ It's mad, who on earth legislates to increase deaths and injuries.

While 35,000 protest downgrading Dunedin hospital, the Transport Minister announces his plan to see more New Zealanders die or end up in hospital. That’s not hyperbole, it’s based on evidence and is why 18 Auckland councillors including the Mayor opposed these forced changes.

@nickbakernz 3 for me. I knew one book title but the rest was news to me. Not great guessing😂

Online quiz what I created where you have to identify fake movie, song and book titles. If you get more than 5/10, let me know. forms.gle/VKKqGCLHP8odax…

@SparkNZ @Purple_Maniac @HaydenKing3 Still down for me and I got the Test test notification too. Pretty bad @spark That's one of the most basic IT principles - don't test in production.

@Purple_Maniac @HaydenKing3 Hey Paige, can you reload and let us know if It's still down for you?

Testing in production @SparkNZ ? Bold move.

@Owen198217 @femgator @rhyde @bushyparkrun My son is still in the funnel, he finished running about 9:40am. People there are estimating close to 6,000

@femgator @rhyde @bushyparkrun And the rest. I was 2431 and there were hundreds in the funnel still!

Good luck and congratulation to @bushyparkrun who celebrate their 1000th event Saturday 31st August!

@kennedy107 That is insane, they'll run out of tokens won't they? Enjoy the atmosphere, I'd love to be there

Little Busy #bushy #parkrun

@GoddardEm @parkrunUK @bushyparkrun What an experience, very jealous watching here from New Zealand. Enjoy the vibe

@SENZ_Radio @SENZBreakfast That's a no from me. Should have kept it in NZ

Team NZ might have everything in place to defend the America's Cup, but will you be watching? Grant Dalton speaks with @SENZBreakfast ▶️ bit.ly/4fGBQpr #AmericasCup
