OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH
Watching the Black Caps in their T20 match against Shri Lanka last night i gave up when it was such a one-sided game at Mt Maunganui with the NZ side in the process of getting slaughtered.
So I tuned the tv set to Netflex and a movie named The Hunted - a movie banned in USA that despicted ghastly right wing deplorables venerated by Trump doing horrific things.
Well I gave the movie away before its completion and switched to the cricket after its completion.
Somehow brillance in mouthfuls had taken the Black Caps to new heights and they had impossibly won the match before a crowded house of over 10,000 spectators.
What did I miss!!! Only Trump's demise would have been better.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
