@patrickmorgan - I see more interesting stuff/people/places
- I visit & spend more at local shops
- I take note of things in my city & suburb, both good and bad
- I slow down, notice more
All this equates to developing a less individualistic attitude, so yeah, that’s good for the commons! 😃

@Qantas Kia ora. Question re checked baggage on Intl economy flight NZ to Oz... 30kgs max but can it be more than 1 piece?? The ‘baggage’ tab on ‘manage booking’ has no info. Thanks

@naturevision @nzpost @Forest_and_Bird 😍 I do hope there’s tea towels

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

@naturevision @Forest_and_Bird @GreenpeaceNZ @WWFNewZealand @EDS_Aotearoa Great korero - thank you for speaking up as leaders with knowledge about the ‘green things’. Can we get a similar call to action from leaders of the economy, health, local govmnt, farming, forestry, infrastructure, aquaculture, horticulture, tourism, transport... ?

The cultural gulf between NZ & WA right here.... a 7-day rahui to show respect for an unidentified body vs 2 days of closure after this traumatic event

@comingupcharlie Was just thinking which journo might do a bit about this... 😁 Have any other portfolios changed so often? Or had such low profile MPs in charge?

@IBCycleWay And apparently (so some garage owners tell me) it is illegal to park in front of a garage, even if it’s your own. Would love to know if that’s true

@cpaintingnz @SimonConnolly95 @NZEntoSoc Kia ora Chrissie. Do giraffe weevils have a ‘season’? We’re seeing a few on Kāpiti just now. Seem to be smaller males

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

@mc_stanley1 So much good advice! 😍 Thanks for focusing on keeping birdbaths & feeders clean 👍 People think I’m such a nanna for bleating on about that but it’s all about ‘do no harm’ right?

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

@milesdavitt Nice view 😉

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

Whoever said December’s too busy for a drawing challenge was right! 😂 Have managed 4 out of 12 by the #drawcembernz deadline.. the mighty te kōuka.

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

Here we go #drawcembernz !...
The first of my #12treesofchristmas is Kawakawa.
Known for its strong healing properties, Māori rongoā practitioners urge it should be used with caution and respect

[Lee Barry @leebeenz]

My third #12treesofchristmas is ponga. The silver undersides of these fern fronds were laid on tracks to show the way... especially luminous in a full moon #drawcembernz

My best day this year was when Paul Eagle didn’t win as Wellington Mayor. My second best was reading the piece in last weekend’s @DomPost by @tomdom76 😊
