Hey, Twitter botany fans. What’s this little plant? Riverside in Whangārei.

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@ired0mi When I do that it’s because I am desperately trying to remember someone’s name. 😊

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@JHGwillim It is such a lovely place to wander.

Timeline cleanse. ❤️

@HistoryNerdNZ Whangārei has some lovely walking tracks - this is the track from the falls through to AH Reed Park.

@TinaMakereti Then it’s out. And the reviews haven’t started yet. And you know, deep in your heart, that everyone else is going to hate it too 😢. That’s my process, anyway. 😎

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@TinaMakereti I think that you haven’t done enough reads through your MS if you still like it. Hating it is an essential stage 😳

@Rugbynerd Books 😊

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@QueenOliviaStR go well :-)

@WHereaka I loved your reading yesterday at Literatea. The way you became the bird woman with your head tilted at times and your eyes watchful. Such a beautiful, complete performance.

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@WedsGee Good luck with your procedure 😊

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@WedsGee For sure. I buy AF drinks and they have an excellent grapefruit margarita mix. Perfect with shellfish and crème brûlée.

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@WedsGee I don’t drink any more, but there are some really nice pretend bubbles out there 😊

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@SuckerCarlson Ooer…

[Lauren Roche 🌻 @DrBob61]

@WedsGee Scallops (or fish), crème brûlée and bubbles.

Tomorrow night is fright night in Whangārei. Come along and hear Mike Botur, local master of horror read some of his scariest stories. Be there. I dare you…
