I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it plenty more times. Fuck cancer.

Hi Sailor.

@metlinkwgtn Hello! I’m wondering about the ‘busy’ feature on the bus timetables - two questions: 1: are they live, or ‘historically usual for this bus at this time’? 2: roughly what do you expect 1 person / 2 person / 3 people / 4 people busy to look like on a bus?

I ask because on the 25 it’s almost always marked as 1 person busy, and that seems to be everything from 2 other people on the bus to only 2 seats left :)

The rule is: if I’m refilling his kibble container, he’s allowed one (1) cronch straight from the bin. This is not my rule. He made it. He gets very cross if I attempt to break it. (I almost forgot today and you can see his pissed off ears).

Still awake with a hamster wheel brain. At this point it’s probably just time to get up and rely heavily on coffee, rather than try to get 2 hours sleep, right?

This island is gorgeous no matter the weather. I’m in love with this light.
Kāpiti Island from the train, just north of Pukerua Bay. It’s a grey, sea-green kind of day, the road just visible in the foreground, then the back rocks jagging through the sea, and finally in the hazy distance, Kāpiti. Above are blue grey clouds filling the sky but to the right of Kāpiti’s nose there’s a break and yellow-green light filters through sleepily, with possibly a haze of rainfall just visible, angling Kruger-left back toward the island.

lol at typo in alt - “Keuger-left” should say “right-left”…. Silly autocorrect

Remembering that time a German producer told us all “I lost my phone in my bush” and all us kiwis died of laughter and had to explain the difference between “THE bush” and “MY bush”… the little words matter more than you think 😂

My poser boys on this rainy Wednesday.
Two cats sit on a blue chair with carved wooden arms and a red and blue blanket. On the left is a ginger tabby, sitting with his back to the camera but looking over his shoulder straight down the camera. On the right is a ginger and white tabby, loafing with his white front paws tucked under him and gazing at something off camera left.

@metlinkwgtn hello! I’m curious to know why this discrepancy exists in the Metlink App - on the main screen for bus ETA at a stop, it appears to be live tracking saying it’s coming in 3 mins, so given screenshot at 9:04 that’d be 9:07 (2 mins later than the scheduled 9:05 time)
A screenshot of the Metlink app, showing all the busses due at a stop on Ngaio Gorge Road. The live tracking for the next bus says 3 minutes away. As the screenshot was at 9:04, that would make the ETA 9:07

But as soon as you click through to the detail screen, it SAYS it’s 2 mins late (which agrees with the last screenshot time), but says it’s not getting to my stop until 9:10, which is actually a full 5 minutes later Why don’t they agree?

FWIW the detail screen was correct - bus arrived bang on 9:10, but it’s annoying to always have to click through to find the real bus ETA on a route like this where the bus is regularly late.

This wee dude has gone missing from my new place on Ngaio Gorge Road. Please think ‘go home to Amy, Wash’ thoughts in his direction :( I’m worried about him.

HE CAME HOME! Turned up last night at about 2am, so 72 hours give or take after his last sighting. Bloody hungry and pretty clingy and happy to be home, but otherwise seems entirely well and unharmed. I’m so relieved.
