That ABBA is back (officially!). Well, it seems I have to travel to London next year when their arena is ready :-)

This is very NSFW and made me smile. Not suitable for those who are offended by bad language.

I am posting this in the vaccine thread. Very apt.

Jab number one yesterday. Used the new vaxx.nz site to bump my appointment up by 24 hours, and then was 25 minutes from start to finish at Pipitea Marae. Only a slightly sore arm to boot 

AA Roadside service. 

I went to the dairy. I couldn't restart my car. 

AA came, diagnosed the issue, replaced my battery and I am back up and running. 

The info I received was excellent, with a surprising piece of info on the way car batteries perform (and the fallacy that taking your car for a 30min drive will charge a modern battery).

Interesting considering AA were the ones promoting that everyone should run their cars in their driveways for 30 mins each week during lockdown to keep the battery topped up.

My SO - when she goes internet shopping on overseas sites and uses my email.  

Overseas? I hope the boots fit and your SO likes them. Damn return freight costs.

I ordered boots from China a few weeks ago. I'm between sizes, so there is a chance they may be slightly too small, but they're also less than 1/5th what I paid for the NZ made boots I normally wear. I ordered a pair of those too, but if the Chinese ones work out I'll switch to those going forward. If they don't fit, I won't be returning them, I'll just buy a bigger pair.

It’s easier to adjust the waist size than the shoe size :-)
