I could hear ours rummaging around, discussing the letter left by Santa and the amount of presents, while I gradually came to. Was fully expecting them to rush in at some point to get us out of bed, but no. When I worked up the strength to get up, I found them both eating cereal, fully dressed, with their hair brushed. Little angels ♥️
Meri Kirihimete to our lovely little community.
Kinda a big oversight when a quick web search returns this article from NZ Herald:
Study finds cycle lanes and walkways reduce car use and emissions
Yeah, a week can feel like an eternity when you've got coffee you really want to try. I usually buy my coffee from cafes so it's ready to go.
It varies by the coffee. Safest window is probably between 1 week after roasting, then 2 weeks after that. Lighter roasts last longer, but I imagine Raglan is medium-to-dark.
Oh, and pre-ground coffee won't last as long. If you don't have one, a grinder can really help get the best cup of coffee.
I know this one. Kinda.
Freshly roasted coffee has excess carbon dioxide, which gets released over time. You generally want to rest it for a few days before you start brewing with it.
In brewing, as soon as you wet the grounds, they start releasing carbon dioxide rapidly. This is important to know for some brew methods, like pourover, where you want to lightly wet the grounds and let them sit for half a minute before brewing.
I'm not really sure about how effective it would be for coffee that's too fresh. You might end up with a brew that's uneven in other ways. Best thing is to plan ahead with coffee purchases, so you've always got a bag in that peak window. But failing that, can't hurt to experiment.
That's not the impression I get at all.
She said she's taking a lead from Palestinian and Jewish peace activists. And the article has quotes from both Palestinian and Jewish representatives who see it simply as a call for freedom for an oppressed people, so that's a credible claim.
But the meaning behind what people say and how others interpret their words can be very different. It's pretty evident some people do take offense to the chant. And maybe the potential harm was more potent than any underlying good intent.
In the interview she gave with RNZ, she wasn't willing to say whether or not she would continue using the chant. Maybe she's reconsidering whether it's appropriate, and she's feel a bit whakama about the whole thing. But that's just as much conjecture as what you've said.
Anyway, my point is I don't think it's fair for you to act like this is some kind of deliberate attack.
Ha, must've accidentally saved the post I abandoned at the playground. Was having a nice moment while the kids seemed content playing with some friends from school, but then noticed the oldest was getting a bit sulky, since their friends were playing more with the younger, so had to go back into dad mode.
Still, turned out to be a nice day. Played hide and seek at the playground, which I enjoyed more than I expected. Then got a bus into the city, loitered a bit, got some ice creams. Pretty lowkey, but I'd take it over being at the office.
Taken the kids to the pla
Saw that the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remake is on Steam now and bought it almost immediately.
I thought the moves would all come back to me like riding a bike, but I'm continuously embarrassing myself on the simplest moves - - like riding a skateboard.
This is also great because you can filter out games with ads and microtransactions. See https://minireview.io/browse?monetization-android=no-ads+no-iap&monetization-ios=no-iap
Wish the neighbours were a bit more subdued. Don't know for sure where they got their fireworks from, but suspect they may have come straight from Satan's asshole. Me and my wife are definitely part of the exhausted cohort of New Zealanders, so could've used the extra sleep.
