Facebook spammer?
Apparently Facebook thinks I’m a spammer, because I was mocking a hotel for ridiculous pricing!?

Humpties
I tried to use the word “humpty” recently, and discovered that nobody knew what on earh I was talking about. Once I looked into it, I discovered that only kiwis I knew were aware of what a humpty is. It’s also clear from a quick Google search, that the only places selling them, are in New Zealand.
A humpty is a type of furniture which seems to be called an Ottoman in most places.
According to this blog post from 2007, it’s also a term used in Newfoundland in Canada.
I added a definition to definitions.net for the term “humpty” today … https://www.definitions.net/definition/humpty

Apparently I should pay more attention to my Twitter feed, as I missed this when it was released.

Compassion
It’s always important to have compassion, even for those who appear at odds with your own values. Something led them to where they are in life. Perhaps we would all end up in the same situation if we were in the exact same scenario. – Ryan Hellyer

Raspberry and Coke
I always thought that New Zealands national soft drink was a tie between Coke and Raspberry and L&P. I’ve been sporadically looking for good quality raspberry syrup to add to me Coke since moving to Europe, but always failed until yesterday. But when I proudly posted in the Kiwis in Germany Facebook group that I had found some good quality raspberry syrup to buy in Germany, it turned out that very few people had any idea what I was talking about. My life has been a lie! Apparently Coke and Raspberry is only a thing for a small proportion of Kiwis. My mind has been blown! At any rate, I’m very glad to have found some yummy raspberry syrup to add to my caffeine free Coke (I quit caffeine 170 days ago).
