    @LoveyChar I have seen jelly beans year round in Houston but not as prominently displayed in non Easter times. If you go to Walgreens or CVS they usually have some candy that’s $1-2 each hanging in clear plastic bags (circus peanuts, cherry sours, citrus wedges, gum drops, etc). I can usually find a bag of jelly beans in those sections. It seems like I’ve seen them at Kroger too but I’m generally distracted by Chocolate in the candy aisle.

    @Avidkeo we do chocolate bunnies and eggs too. And marshmallow peeps. Just for fun I’m including a picture of the cake I made for Easter this year. (Sprinkled with jelly beans!)

    Oh I like this, such a cute and colorful cake...my little boy's birthday is right after Easter and I may have to do this...I screenshot it! I'm in central Texas, so I'm sure we have jelly beans here too then.

    @Avidkeo Way to stick with it and get it done. I think that is a great time.

    Forgot to update my ticker earlier.

    Morning all!

    So today is a 9k fun run I signed up for a couple of days ago. Its a cup free event which is cool. I've got my hydration pack ready (just easier that way) and a couple of jelly beans. Kinda sux you can't get them all year round. But kiwis love lollies (candy) so I guess it makes sense we would have them all the time. Easter here is all about chocolate. Hollow eggs, marshmallow eggs, cream eggs.... Mmmmm mmm chocolate!

    First run of the year today. After five days rest (and an awful lot of fueling 😝) I was expecting this run to be great. It wasn’t. Ran with my club and the pace, while only moderate, was too fast for my still injured legs. I’ll go for another, slower run tomorrow and see how they cope.

    In other news, the Aussie bush fires have turned Auckland yellow this afternoon. It’s a weird and surreal feeling. Makes the whole disaster feel that much closer.

    The view from my bedroom window just now (4pm):

    Wow. Been seeing pics on the news. Still clear down here fortunately.

    Hope @orphia is OK. Im pretty sure Melbourne is in the clear atm

    ETA wow love your Windows! So cool!

    Sadly, photos from my Melbourne friends show a city blanketed in smoke. I doubt there’s much running going on over there at the moment (except for the running away from fires sort!)

    Thanks. I do too. They were a big factor in why we fell for this house!
