I always miss home a little bit at this time of year on account of it being the season of the best fruit ever. So it made my southern soul VERY happy when this surprise shipment from @sud_grrl arrived on my doorstep (There might have been about double this amount a short time earlier 😋) Thanks Jane! #greengagesarethebest #ifeelalittlebitsick

I would like to officially invite anyone local-ish who gives a damn about using their privilege and grace to support those in Palestine to attend a shared morning tea outside the gallery in Harbour St at 10. 30am on Saturday. Please bring something to eat/share and/or support the local kai providers. I will supply tea/coffee and accoutrements. Seating is also available if you help carry it!

Here are some snaps, and vids, from a very busy and significant week. Mum is in hospital again; I got back into the waves with the wonderful Whitewash Wāhine; some delightful young Tongan kids fresh into Aotearoa went nuts trying on all their favourite clothes at the gallery; Blayde is fair smitten; I photographed the dead baby bird right before a seagull swooped off with it; Miles rejected our invitation to the meeting we are still very definitely holding in an incredible show of hypocrisy after an assault by his staff member on a peaceful protester trying to enter his office (😱 I take enormous exception to the implication it would be dangerous for him to attend the manaakitanga of an afternoon tea at my gallery!;) I drove out to Riverstone to deliver a painting exchanged for one by my incredible step aunt, the late Cherie McLaughlan; I attended an amazing concert at Waitaki Girls High featuring Yuan our new choir leader in full song and The Simpsons on wind and brass. And the Oamaru Creek is looking sicker than ever. Kia ora!

You may have noticed my typically obsessive new mental (and physical) health regimen. The humans are crack but the dopamine's crackker! But how's this for an ironic snapshot of contemporary Aotearoa: Last night (pic #10) 'our' beach was overrun with hordes of farmers engaging in some 'learn to surf and have a saussie' anti-rural-suicide racket and after our little trio boogie session Jane (Vegan Queen) and Deb (health nut) were about to head home. I was quite keen to scab a sausage so rocked up to the barbie making no bones about my intended scabbery. They were all chuckling (some I recognised) and saying there was plenty of grub etc but I'd have to ask such-and-such a young beanpole type...who asked me if I was a farmer cos 'This is just for farmers.' I made some pathetic wisecrack about farming dogs and mosquitoes (in my pond) but he still refused much to the embarrassment of some of the others, who of course wouldn't speak up. Farmers eh? Their mental health being looked after by the corporates. And how broke am I having given away, prepared and shared more food and booze than ever in my life this week!

Early start, snow on the hills and a hard frost didn't stop us from getting out in the 8°C water with our boogie boards this morning... SO much fun and the best start to the coldest month (even though I'm typing this with my tongue as my fingers haven't thawed out yet!) #tewaipounamu #kakanuiboogie #firstofaugust #wahinetoa #nottherealcampbellsbay

There was snow on the hills and the water was 9 degrees but me and @sud_grrl still decided to pretend we were in Samoa... Oamaru Swim Series needs to up its game on the fresh coconut front! #openwaterswimming #winterskinsswim #fresssshhh #tewaipounamu
