    Last four nights I’ve been grinding my teeth like a mofo, and have a slight cold. Bailed on all my plans.

    My head is exploding, my teeth are aching. Ugh! That’s my Sunday Rant!

    Apparently my great grandfather was a Bobby back in England. I have his truncheon. Looks like it’s had a few knocks too… probably sorted out some likely lads. Found it while sorting out my Nanna’s belongings.

    Question for anyone who’s visited NZ. Is there a place that really stood out for you?

    So much to choose from.

      Queenstown / Wanaka which I visited a couple months ago - just spectacular, so naturally beautiful. I went mainly for skiing but it would just be as good in summer I reckon. Can do all the hikes and trails without worrying about snow and the views would be even better with clearer weather. Otago wineries, heaps of adventure type activities, you can make a great family holiday. The one downfall is that this area is pretty expensive because it’s very touristy, it’s like holidaying in AU prices.

      I also enjoyed Auckland and visiting Rotorua.

      Queenstown - in summer! Have been three times in summer, never winter, it’s one of my favourite places on earth.

      Go for: hiking, wineries, epic scenery, bungie jumping or skydiving if you’re into that

      Just driving around is beautiful, much spectacular scenery, especially the mountains. We don’t really have anything like it in Aus. Visiting the Franz Joseph glacier was a highlight. You can see it by booking a guided walk. The ice formations and blue ice colour is very interesting and beautiful. I saw it about 15 years so I don’t know how it is now, because warming and glacier retreating etc, but if it’s still available to see it I would highly recommend it. (Who knows how long it will be there for?) Edit: just looked it up, wow it has got expensive. You need to do a helicopter flight to get to it, but still I’d say if you can afford it in your holiday budget it’s a very unique experience.

      I loved Akaroa just south of Christchurch. Went just at the end of peak season so it was still all open but not busy. Good to note that a a lot of the little towns like that are pretty seasonal so I wouldn’t go at the depths of winter (dead and closed) or height of summer (feral with tourists).

      For cities I love Wellington. The waterfront is 👌

        The young Seagoons have been in NZ for about a year now and they love Akoroa tho with them it seems it’s all just a base to visit LOTR sites. Last week they were in Edoras.

      We went for the snowfields , using Queenstown as a base. I’m not sure if you guys are into that but I can definitely recommend it.

    Asked Boyo to fix my eyebrows. Threw his hands in the air and said there’s nowhere to start. Guess I’m the White Witch now, but feel rather Black.

        I was doing well sleeping until stupid bladder. Then while I was trying to pretend said bladder doesn’t exist, Mr P got up and quietly cooked some toast. Now the smell of toast has wafted through the flat and the kids are awake.

    Must have been a day for misfits. Blown headlight, almost ran out of fuel and came home too tired to bother going to a Halloween gig I’d already purchased entry to.

    Oh well, c’est la vie.

    Today’s list so far:

    • Replace bulb
    • Escape chores once again

    I finished with my Pyunkang Yul skincare and am now trying Purito. I did love the feel and texture of the former, but the Dermide range from Purito has helped my ridiculous dry spots in about 2 applications. I think the barrier cream is like the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume, which I didn’t use effectively. We’ll see how it all goes by the time I finish the Purito products.

    Happy Sunday, all.

    I’d like my face not to resemble sandpaper.

    So it’s only taken 2 hours to get the smoker to a stable temperature, remind me why I do this to myself again?

        Nah, this is just another experimental cook. I’m trying to learn a new skill and add a twist at the same time.

        My mates hate that I do this and don’t tell them in advance though lol

            Beef short rib with a Jamaican jerk sauce from the UK, and beef brisket with a BBQ sauce from North Carolina.

            Today I’ve also done a BBQ with burgers, mushrooms, sweet corn, zucchini, capsicum, meat skewers and probably more that I’ve forgot because the brisket still isn’t done :/

            Pic of one of the short ribs for you (used apple wood and wet with beer, absolutely delicious):

    All I have to do is clean the house, and do meal prep then I’m free to do whatever I want.

    Come on motivation. Come on!

    Adding gym to the mix. Fuck it why not.

      A cleaner costs $60 a hour and food delivery is a thing, just think of your PlayStation and all the gaming time you’re wasting!

        🤣🤣🤣 All in all, I’ve done about 90 minutes of gaming since I got it lol

        If I can get the gym, cleaning and meal prep done before 4pm, I’ll play for another hour.

        You see, I have this problem called “all I want to do is game all the time” so have had to be so fucking disciplined lol

          That’s such a mood. It’s either I game religiously or don’t touch Steam at all for months on end.

          Although COD Black Ops 6 did just come out which looks intriguing and of course, I wanna play BG3.

            Honestly, it’s been less difficult than I expected. Once I’ve made the decision not to, it’s fine.

            When I’m umming and ahhhing, that’s when shit gets hectic.

          if I can get the gym done

          “all I want to do is game all the time”

          May I make a suggestion regarding the game “Ring Fit”?

          Edit: Damn, wrong console
