In a previous BirdSite life I was a disillusioned AI fridge, but here I'm an altogether quieter, more helpful appliance.

IRL I'm a retired filmmaker who lives in the front line of climate change... on a New Zealand beach at sea level. Born 313.2 ppm when the air was cleaner, and we weren't force fed CO2 and microplastics.

As a cynical optimist I love the peaceful Mastodon atmosphere. People are generally nicer in these parts.

Recent Notes

Waitaki declared a state of emergency at 4:30 am with “severe” localised flooding in and around Oamaru and evacuations.

It sounds like Mosgiel bore the brunt of the Dunedin deluge with two to three times more rain than hit the coast.

Four months of weeds sounds horrendous. It must feel good to have that job out of the way.

I'm starting to wonder if roofers aren't in league with scaffolding companies. An older lady down the road from me had work done on her roof last summer. The roofing work took two weeks but the scaffolding was up for six months. Do they charge scaffold rental by the month?

Today was five hours up ladders, cleaning spouting, including outbuildings, in preparation for heavy rain tonight followed by 24 hours of continuous rain beginning 5am Sunday.

I've also put my wheelie bins out a day early, because tomorrow is looking truly awful. I'm buggered, but happy.
