@bones have you tried the purple variety? Less sweet and firmer than the orange one. No idea of the actual names but that orange one is molten sweetness when it's nicely baked.

@dogmeat Ruawai: kumara capital of the world.

Did you check out that nipple on the Tokatoka peak?

Ruawai? Sure it's not Dargaville?

I’m sure. I went out with a girl from there when I was a young fella and ended up there most weekends digging the little bastards. The things you’ll do for a root veg.

FIFY.

I needed to make sure everybody got it.

There are some seriously thick people on here you see. For reference on that fact, pick a thread, any thread, and read it.

You've been having to delete more of my shit haven't you.

@jc The correct term is neck, but nipple works

The sun is shining, it's a glorious day here in the big 09. People sunbathing, went for a decent bike ride, had a row, ate a magnificent lunch and cleaned the oven (partner's least favourite chore).

So, things are pretty good. All Blacks on tonight, no work today/tomorrow, and some good weather to enjoy. Got 20L of Pilsner into the fermenter last night.

This lockdown's been tough, but every day is a day closer to the future. Look after yourself Ferners, it's OK to be affected by this relentless situation

Resurrecting this thread, as lockdown is really hammering us at the moment.

Rugby on TV is fantastic. Really enjoyed the Northland game on Friday (sorry Waikato Fans).

NZZP Jr is mastering sourdough, and doing a great job, so is pounding out good sourdough on a regular basis. Stereotyped, but absolutely mint (and a good life skill).

Other than that, feels very much like:

The rain is doing good things for our dams in Auckland as well, which is awesome. Maybe water restrictions come off soon.

Yep the rugby has been good. Shame the test series are over and was really something to look forward to each week. Same with the NRL finals.

But tell ya what, spring is here and it's a farken great time for horse racing with the big races now not too far away.

Apparently we are going camping this weekend.

In the back yard.

My protests about stupidity, the effort to put the tent up etc especially when I have a perfectly good bed and kitchen metres away from where the tent will be erected are being ignored.

I'm praying for rain.

and yes the footy the last two weeks has been fantastic.

Watching pissed people at the Melbourne Cup is always a good giggle on the news.

Last minute week in Portugal coming up. 27 degree average there just as the Indian Summer here ends.

Currently watching James Martin make a superb carbonara whilst drinking a brilliant Welsh single malt.

Finally, pre holiday I’m going to my culinary idol, Tom Kerridge, 2 mich star pub for lunch tomorrow.

Last 18 months been an epic grind and a lot of you have borne the brunt of some deep frustrations. I wont apologize for that but I’ll give genuine thanks for the superb, unequivocal support offered. TSF is more than just a forum. It’s a genuine (support) network.

I know it’s not over. Far from it. But right now, I’m feeling extremely content and happy. And it’s fucking brilliant.

@majorrage sounds bloody magic mate.

The sun is shining here, sitting outside in the sun this morning having a coffee... great fun. Got to live in the 'now', and focus on what we can do.

Kia kaha, and enjoy the warmth!

Just got a pack of Waka Changi sour cream onion and chives chips.

That dude may be an idiot, but these are really good chips

Since we were supposed to be going on a dirty date night to the Duke of Marlborough, wifey got me some Spitfire, Old Peculiar, etc beer for tonight instead.

I'm about to head to Atomic Brewery in Redfern, then to axe throwing in Alexandria, then dinner and drinks nearby.

Not sure it is such a good idea to go to the brewery first ...

My Galaxy A50 suddenly stopped recognising my PIN. And ... security features are strong. And ... NZZP has had a couple of Friday Afternoon beers in the sun.

This, friends, is not a good combination.

I'm back in now after a factory reset, but it took all my google skills. And in the end, you need to do a reset while PLUGGED INTO A COMPUTER. I mean, I get security has really lifted, but that's really annoying.

Ah well, still a week we got to the end of. Crikey. Roll on 2022.
