Teacher in Aotearoa. Mathematician, karateka, singer, and musician. Lover of Taskmaster, Horrible Histories, Ghosts, Star Wars, cryptic crosswords, and the Oxford comma.

A set of wooden nunchaku. Two pieces of 25cm slightly tapered cylindrical wood, joined by a 7cm cord in the middle. One 5cm piece is broken off the end of one of the wooden pieces. Taken against a light wooden bench in the background.
Five karate students training with Bo (a six foot staff).
Husband on a red and gilded throne and holding a card that says Taskmaster. Me to his left on a lower and smaller chair. On his right is a table with a trophy and a decorative spray of tinsel with the number 50 on top. Behind us is a dramatic red and black background in the style of the Taskmaster TV studio.
A glass cabinet shelf thing which is about 6 foot high and is going to hold Samā€™s model planes once the shelves go in.
Two bridesmaids in green dresses and holding white anthurium flowers. Bride (me) in the centre wearing a long white dress and holding green anthuriums. A lovely green garden and trellis backdrop - my parents yard. Me and the bridesmaid on the left are looking at each other and cackling away. Other bridesmaid also laughing while looking at someone off-camera.
A mirror selfie of a tired looking woman (me) with wavy brown hair. Iā€™m wearing a hot pink silk shirt, navy/white striped waistcoat and black trousers. I have a rainbow ribbon pinned on my lapel and a large pounamu/greenstone pendant round my neck. Pen and keys clipped to my waistband.
I had my phone pointing up at the ceiling to record audio. You can see a tv screen (for congregation responses and stuff), some organ pipes and more of the ceiling tiles.
View from the back of St James Church up to the cross on the far wall of the sanctuary. Itā€™s a light and airy 1930s concrete building with coloured tiles on the high ceiling representing Saints and other Christian imagery. In the foreground is the mixing desk which Iā€™m in charge of today. Five speaking mics plus another six vocal and instrument controls to manage.
A young grey and white cat walking towards the camera wearing a giant Elizabethan circular collar.
Rear view of two beautiful ladies (Kirsten and I hehe), walking along the left side of a path. Sheā€™s in green and Iā€™m in black with a black backpack and a walking stick. Lots of people walking the same path heading in both directions. Cyclists also travelling in both directions to the right of the path. To the left of us is the ocean (Wellington Harbour) and to the right of us is the railway line then the motorway then the hills. A gorgeous sunny Wellington winters day.
Me (50F, brown hair in a bun and wearing glasses) in a three-piece suit complete with sweater vest and green tie. In the background a bunch of road cones and motorcycles of all types.
Three pots of chilli on the go, another one on the bench about to get made. Iā€™m cutting up kÅ«mara for the vegetable chilli in the middle of an industrial kitchen.
A cake depicting the scene in Star Wars Episode 3 where (Lego) Obi-Wan has the high ground. Icing lava in various red and yellow shades with Oreos for the cooled lava. (Lego) Anakin stranded on a lone Oreo in the lava.
A large school hall with about 20 people in black or white karate gi (uniform) doing nunchaku training.
Background - kitchen area of our AirBnB in Hanmer. Sister with mid length blonde hair and wearing a grey jersey at the bench giving a thumbs up. Foreground - me in a pink dress looking fabulous.
View from inside the Kaiārahi ferry through a front window. Bow of the ship is just visible at the bottom of the photo. The town of Picton is visible in the distance and the sun is coming up behind the hills. The sea is flat and calm.
A text exchange with my sister. Her - are Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia twins? Me - yeah, keep up lol Her - ha ha donā€™t care. Just saw something about them and thought ā€œI donā€™t know thatā€ Me - also Vader is their father. Ha ha you probably already knew that one at least.
A very sexy Suzuki Boulevard 650cc motorcycle parked up at the top of Paekākāriki Hill Lookout. Itā€™s a cruiser style with a passenger backrest and a purple fuel tank. There is a pink and black helmet stuck on the side mirror. In the background there is a fence to stop people falling down the cliff, and blue sky beyond. You canā€™t see the ocean below but it is there.
My online class roll, showing 3 present, 2 absent and 8 ā€˜otherā€™ absences.
Back view of a dark grey/white young cat sitting on the windowsill with its head out the open window. Itā€™s dark outside. She just caught a moth on the outside wall and promptly ate it.
A really lovely quilt on my bed in shades of blue, purple, and brown. :) Oh and a grey and white kitten; roughly a year old I reckon.
Swollen and still healing foot with a scar on the top and another out of sight in the instep region.
Gorgeous late summer sun over Days Bay beach. Wharf and hills in the distance, small pebbly sand in the foreground.
Water feature was a good diversion for the wee ones! An L shape in the paving, made from jets of water that alternate from tiny to about 1m high. Lots of children playing while the queue snakes around them.
