THIS. IS. EPIC.
A freaking WONDERFUL gift just arrived! It really ties my 1960s/1970s kiwi kitchen together. Feels like our collective New Zealand childhoods in one room. Such positive vibes. 😊

Made some T-shirts for the fam yesterday, with #HalalAs on them. This is an attempt to merge #Muslim and #Kiwi cultures into one. I’ve got some other designs for shirts planned, InshAllah, that will attempt the same thing. I’m a #KiwiMuslim now (#Alhamdulilah), and I want the world to know it.

And last, but by no means least, "School Holidays - tripping by train", again with a streamlined K class loco. 😍

"Fly home tonight. N.A.C."

A simple, but gorgeous image here I feel of the plane with the light of the moon in the background.

"For your holidays travel by train".

The distinctive shape of the toast rack front of the streamlined K class loco is intact here, yet it is presented in a greatly simplified style.

We stopped by Geraldine for a coffee yesterday on our way to Tekapo, and found a street frontage where the windows were painted with beautiful reproductions of Kiwiana images and posters.

Here is a thread of the more transporty related ones.

@Essjax @CraigKendrickNZ Classic #kiwiana right there! 🙌🏼

My wife & I have fantasized about moving to #AotearoaNZ since well before the pandemic, and in 2023, we're finally planning to make it happen. Since we're both in high-demand professions (she's a nurse), I think it should go reasonably smoothly 🤞. Feel free to get in touch with job opportunities that offer visa sponsorship, suggestions for #kiwiana that will help us adapt, reasons that your city is the best, etc. I always blow on the pie when I wear my jandals to the dairy.
