Kia Ora, I'm Amanda! I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I write about waste minimisation, and my tiny house build. I co-founded the Auckland Library of Tools and I set up NZ's first Community Fridge, a free food fridge which redistributes surplus food in Auckland's CBD.

Made my boy a cute new collar to help birds and humans see him easily. He doesn't really hunt much anymore, he just turned 13, but no harm in making sure he doesn't catch any native birds. The collar has a clasp and long elastic so if he gets caught on something it should slip off.
Riley now lives with me again in my flat (he was with my grandparents while I travelled and house sat). Riley and Louie, the flat cat, are learning to tolerate each other. But now they both look adorable with cute floral collars.

Interesting side by side comparison... $6 worth of peanut butter vs $6 worth of almond butter from Bin Inn.

Pure fluke that I filled these to the same price (10 cents difference!), but I knew Almond butter was way more expenny, hence why I didn't fill the jar to the top like the PB!

This cat came to say hi today so I took their portrait. Great model, great pats.

I made a planter box out of some old pallets I had lying around. Borrowed all the tools I needed from @aucklandlibraryoftools before the lockdown, didn't have a few things so it's not the prettiest but it is practical! Now I just need to improvise some potting mix and plant some seeds.

I'm still cycling around Central Auckland transporting various tools and things. This weekend I did it in this painting/wet weather combo with a roller pole attached to my bike like the glam person I am.

P.S. I have a secondhand ebike now!

P.P.S. I spent the day painting and listening to 'How To Be Less Stupid About Race' by Crystal M Fleming

During lockdown I (re)-joined the sourdough bandwagon. After a few okay loaves, I decided to find a simpler bread. Someone shared this sourdough focaccia recipe from @alexandracooks in The Great Kiwi Lockdown Sourdough Bakeoff group. I can confirm that this bread was not only super simple to make (no hours of folding, shaping and careful transferring needed) but it's super tasty!!!
