On Twitter hiatus so I can get some work done ✌️

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

All masked up for our trip to Christchurch! (If my three year old can wear a mask, even for some of the time, so can you!).

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Thank you secret Santa 🥰 I am particularly enamoured with the card! Meri kirihimete!!

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@simonejadeG Beautiful! 💞💞

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

My #SecretSantaNZ2022 has arrived, thank you!! 💞

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@simonejadeG Absolutely classic hospital behaviour 😂.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@lachlanp_ Love a good ILK stoush. (But obviously Mobil should go).

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Ok more hints for you Santa! Any stationery, note books, puzzles or card games, chocolate, ceramics, art magazines, or a donation to charity 💕

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Staying on Twitter, at least until #SecretSantaNZ2022 is done and dusted! With that in mind I like yummy treats, charities like @aunties_the, nice home or handmade things. Now to hope my own Santee posts more than their wordle results every day and/or google wordle merch.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Absolutely chaotic.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@tinangata And related to after having baby (and will depend on the person/workplace) I really appreciated being invited to Christmas parties, leaving dos and so on. Made me feel connected as i knew I was coming back.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@tinangata A decent handover period with my replacement was really useful. I felt good knowing I was leaving with someone who knew what I’d been working on. But equally, the understanding that towards the end you might just have to pack up and stop working!

@cherrypiejay Ha I’m sure you can! It feels like people are very casual about it but I’m sure the agencies would have a good process. Keen to hear how others get on!

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@cherrypiejay I haven’t, but friends have found good people on the Wellington Nannies & Babysitters fb group. I’m 50/50 on hiring anyone I haven’t met yet but maybe am an overly worried person. And our family options are slim.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@TuskCulture Insane eh. We’ve just gotten most things off trademe, but sometimes local makers advertise on Facebook and that seems better. But materials are so $$ right now!

Just a few days left to get over the line this film about Siouxsie Wiles and her incredible work in the face of a misinformation shitstorm.

@deborahjonesnz Absolutely love our Hungry Bin. It’s more of a worm farm so you can’t put all scraps in it, but it’s so much easier to deal with than our old compost bin!

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Daycare ran their own #birdoftheyear election; the takahē got Albie’s vote! 💚 😭

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

@DarianWoods What a lineup!!

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

Just explained the nz arts funding ecology to the Uber driver (at their request!).
Verdict: Wow, sounds tedious.

[Alice Tappenden @OliveTappenade]

I am a very tired human today but I stayed home and watched Derry Girls and what a balm to the soul that was 💕.
