Friday Feathered Friend
This week we feature a picture from Louise Thomas.
"Just starting to sort my images for the 2024 Calendar and have decided this cheeky fellow makes the cut. I'm thinking he might become a painting too at some point. Kaka/ Brown Parrot (Nestor meridionalis) on Stewart Island - their heads are noticeably more white than the ones we get around Wellington."

Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
