My last one was $35, middle of last year, but who knows now - everything is going up.
Weirdness is hitting again. I have lost a diary. For years it sat in among my cookbooks in the kitchen because it had several family recipes inside that I didn't want to lose, then I rearranged the shelves last Winter, and I must have put it somewhere safe... I have scoured cupboards, boxes, drawers, even an old briefcase (cleaned that out lol!) but no sign of the darned thing. But do you think I can stop wondering about it?
Very irritating.
On another subject, I came across a Greens post on my Instagram yesterday that made me smile big time. It shows their Chinese Kiwi, Lawrence Xu nan striding down a corridor in the most glorious outfit, black belted silk top with an outrageously fine beautiful pleated skirt that has been printed with images that catch the light as the fabric moves - I think based on or referencing ancient costume, but oh it is one hell of a bit of video. Maybe some of our more tech adept folk can find it and put up a link. It reminded me of the common criticism that New Zealanders are boring, this demonstrates that some of us are exactly the opposite of that, and how lucky we are to be a truly multicultural society with all the glorious moments that brings.
Makes me think I should be braver with colour, and to hell with playing safe!
