WHY I QUIT USING INSTAGRAM

FROT December 20, 2018

I HAD TO GET MY SORRY ARSE OFF INSTAGRAM People sometimes wonder why so many people quit using Steemit. I think a big reason is because they start out full of hope, and they are looking for the next big thing. But after a while they realise that Steemit is another big work in progress […]

WE ARE BEING SWAMPED BY INVADING HOARDS

FROT December 9, 2018

Here in New Zealand tourist season has just started, and as well as the usual constant stream of planes landing, there is now a multitude of giant cruise liners coming into the harbour. This is a photo I took yesterday on our back lawn, of our weedy old chimney (It’s so 1928, but we never […]

HANGING OUT WITH DRUG DEALERS AT THE WELLINGTON WATERFRONT

FROT December 7, 2018

The Wellington waterfront has got it all, it’s sort of a South Pacific Miami vice. Where else can you sit in the sun surrounded by luxury apartments and flash boats and get wasted off your nut? Everything here screams “we have cash” The dealers park their Mercedes in front of their apartments And sit sipping […]

FROT October 28, 2018

Is Steemit buggered? I sort of lurk on Steemit too and check out what my Steemit friends say about stuff.

I HAVE NO […]

FROT November 6, 2017

IN NEW ZEALAND WE CELEBRATE BLOWING UP POLITICIANS Every year on November the 5th, we have a huge public celebration of blowing up politicians with lots of bombs. Its called Guy Fawkes. Rather than hiring hundreds of crisis actors to lie about in the streets pretending to be dead, we just buy a few hundred […]

PAINTING IN THE STREETS

FROT August 1, 2017

PAINTING IN THE STREETS Street art has a long history, with certain times and places like New York in the 80’s being famous hotbeds of urban art action… Surprisingly my own hood, Kilbirnie, Wellington, New Zealand has a thriving street art scene. Unlike the old school street art, a big difference here is that this […]

OLD TIME STEEMERS LIVE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD TO NEWBS

FROT July 28, 2017

OLD TIME STEEMERS LIVE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD TO NEWBS Until this week I didn’t realise I was a Steemit old timer, but now I’m coming up to a year on Steemit and lately several things have drummed it into me that I inhabit a totally different Steemiverse to newbs. It was seeing a post […]
