IN SEARCH OF KIWIS ON HIVE

FROT June 3, 2020

Let’s get NZ back on the blockchain again like we did in the old days! Back in the glory days of Steemit (2017) there were lots of Kiwis posting. I had an account @mg-nz (Made Great – NZ) just for following Kiwis and curating NZ content. At one point there were 55 active Kiwi bloggers […]

CATS ARE CLEANER THAN WE ARE

FROT June 2, 2020

Last time I was house sitting in Picton, I was looking after Puss, the furry little monkey who races around the place constantly looking for wild adventures. But she disappeared, and I was wondering where she had gone. Turned out I had locked her in the garage. For 18 hours! Rather than hating me for […]

SYSTEM OF A POST

FROT April 23, 2020

SIMPLIFYING MY ONLINE POSTING Yesterday I walked over to the boat marina, through deserted streets with almost no cars at all, and stood looking at boats not being used, on a day filled with sun not being absorbed. It’s very tranquil watching our economy being gradually destroyed. Things are different, and however this all turns […]

WE COULD ALL USE A FEW ALLIES AT THE MOMENT

FROT April 2, 2020

WE COULD ALL USE A FEW ALLIES AT THE MOMENT Like a lot of us non-conformist freaks who question what we are told, I often find my opinions are a long way from mainstream. In fact some people think I’m a fruitloop and get hot and bothered because they think I should be censored. Some […]

AWASH WITH EXOTIC CARS

FROT August 26, 2019

COOL RIDES Once in a while a really cool looking ride cruises by and I do my best to get a photo of it. New Zealand is not exactly awash with exotic cars. We are a right hand drive country, like England, Australia, India, South Africa and Japan, and most cars in NZ are Japanese. […]

HOW I MADE TWELVE AND A HALF GRAND FOR A BLOG POST

FROT July 19, 2019

GET RICH BY BLOGGING! Back in 2016, in the early days of the blogging platform Steemit – when it still looked like an awesome new blogging platform rather than a massive Ponzi scheme – certain key accounts were flinging money about in an apparent effort to bring in new users. One of my first posts […]

LIFE IN THE DEEP SOUTH

FROT July 12, 2019

Hanging out in Picton So just what do people actually do in Picton. They sit in spa pools and look at the view. Well I certainly did a lot of that – this was the view from the spa pool. I’m using a bit of artistic license to call Picton the deep south. Like several […]
