School holidays mean no sleep schedule in my house apparently. Last night was “midnight” walk by the beach (and request of youngest), tonight they’re camping in the lounge (at request of eldest).
I need more coffee.

So far, only 30.9% of Kāpiti Coast have voted in the local govt election.
Voter apathy is a dangerous thing.
It may mean nasty Voices for Freedom linked candidates get in.
So get off your bottoms and vote early tomorrow morning please. Polling booths close at noon on Saturday.
