Oh alright then. Have I told you about the time I damaged Brymer Road with the side of a truck?
Don't worry, it wasn't my truck.
I am, of course, assuming that if I get to the end of this thread before my time as Hamilton's nominated Twitter Human finishes at midnight, then @annasmartnz will buy me a coffee some time. Anyway.

It's Show and Tell Day at kindy today. My 4-year-old frickin' loves kindy, and she LOVES show and tell.
Let me explain how much she loves kindy.
On a normal day she'll wake up and, before even eating breakfast, set herself up on the Teacher Chair for a bit of pretend mat time.

So maybe I'll tell another story now. Hands up if you remember the Hamilton City Council elections of 1998... 🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♂️
I like to believe that I have only a regular amount of interest in local body politics, but this was a mayoral election when I was a high schooler and I have a story to tell about it, so I'm probably kidding myself. Anyway, 1998 was the year of Russ Rimmington.

Last night's absurdley long thread about how I ended up raising a family in Hamilton ended with a promise.
Now, I'm going to tread a little carefully here. Especially towards the end. And at the start. Not so much in the middle.
