BONBADAK DREAM

Often, the story of New Zealand history is told as though it begins in 1840 (when the treaty was signed). Being at Waitangi reminded me that Māori history stretches much further back.

When I was growing up, I thought Elvis was for old people. I thought his music was what the oldies listened to; I wasn't interested. EPiC - Elvis Presley in Concert is a 2026 movie directed by Baz Luhrmann (same director as Elvis), and it is fantastic. EPiC showed me the real Elvis.

My brother gave me a box of T2 Melbourne Breakfast tea earlier this year, and I have been enjoying it on windy, colder days this winter. This tea is high quality and has a warming vanilla taste; I can taste the difference compared to regular tea.
