- The Picton Village Bakkerij opens at 6am. That's a little over an hour and a half from now. So what's it to be, body of mine: cake or sleep? #
- And we're off! Cheerio South Island x #
- Back in lovely Wellington, broke but with a happy heart, after a couple of joyous months spent adventuring in the south. #GoodMoodMonday #

- Bread has gone in the oven. Smells good already. #
- Job applications done. Time to sit down with a cuppa and a book. #
- That last tweet reinforces the sense that my tweeting has become somewhat stodgy and bland, like a pan of porridge left too long on the hob. #
- I think it's because I don't have much to gripe about at the moment. But normal service of bad puns and whining will resume shortly. #
