A gorgeous Labour day here in the mighty #manawatu. The apple blossom is particularly impressive. Tomorrow we will have pouring rain and high winds, so I better enjoy it while it lasts. #grownostr #permaculture #nz #rural image

A fascinating podcast interview with someone who experienced the Cultural revolution first hand. The lived experience of the failure of socialism is a stark reminder of how that ideology can (and usually does) go disastrously, murderously wrong. #history #mao #china #communism #podcasts #socialism [Dan Snow's History Hit] Chairman Mao #danSnowsHistoryHit via @PodcastAddict

Looks like One Plus got a lot right with this one. Let's hope these new foldables get cheaper soon. #Android #phones #oneplus #mrmobile

99% of the comments are from Americans who've been here and totally miss the pies. Seriously? You guys don't have meat pies in America? #grownostr #NZ #KIWI #NewZealand #food

There may be an #election going on, but this is the only contest I'm interested in right now. #grownostr #rugby #worldcup #NZ #allblacks #kiwi #Ireland image

I thought this was quite a good summary of the geopolitics and diplomatic horse-trading that is going on in the Middle East right now. #Israel #palestine #grownostr #war

Seems to bI was a bit miffed when trying to play music using the Plex Android app and discovered that without a Plex Pass you can only listen to one minute of audio, (they do the same with video but it's not limited on the browser or Android TV so I'm OK with that). Then I discovered Plexamp https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.plex.labs.plexamp And I have been very impressed so far. You don't need a Plex Pass subscription and it gives you access to all your home network-stored music/audio. Pretty funky interface too, a lot of good work seems to have gone into the UI. Has lots of good functionality too. image

Well, it's election day here in #NZ. Looking forward to hating the next bunch of incompetent imbeciles just as much as I hated the last bunch of incompetent imbeciles. #KIWI #election #nz #grownostr #nzelection

So, that was my Tuesday afternoon down the pan. At least my daughter learned how to swear like a sailor while changing a tyre. #grownostr #nz #kiwi #parmy #manawatu #rural image

One of my favourite things at this time of year is the return of the Kereru, or Native Wood Pigeon. These things are about 3 quarters the size of a chicken and quite a few come to visit every spring and feed on the blossom. Where they go for the rest of the year is a mystery, but when these guys start showing up you know Summer is just around the corner. #grownostr #rural #nz #kiwi #parmy #manawatu image
