I did some weeding in the veg garden and found a kitchen knife I lost ages back, perfectly usable after a good clean! 🍀

I’m a bit suspicious that I may have my first case of Covid 😬 RAT negative so far but I have headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, fatigue (worse than my existing fatigue!) and body aches. Hoping it’s only a cold 🤞🏼

For many years I’ve had to submit a tax return because of untaxed income from royalties, contract work etc. It used to be a painful process, but I’ve just done this year’s return and it took about 10 minutes!
Every year the online submission process is a little easier. It used to be so irritating when you had to hunt out things like tax paid on interest when you knew the tax people already had that information. Those days have gone!
So, kudos to the people at IR who design this process 🙏🏼

Our new George Street revamp has made the street more people friendly as well as replacing aged pipes and other infrastructure. To make it even better, it incorporates manu whenua history and design. Love this!

@npub16uk…pv7k @npub1hqy…5dwq A friend requested it from the library, then handed it on to me when she finished! I had to read it quickly before it was due back, but that was no hardship as I found it gripping 😆
