Under the Weather

It’s been a bit of a week. I’ve had a bad cold which meant a couple of days off work. Poppy has been in the wars and is now on extra meds and minus her last remaining canine tooth. Most of the contents of my sofa side table are for her, poor thing. 

And Huia?  She’s just fine. 

12 Feet

I have 12 foot ceilings at my place. That’s a long way up and requires a longer ladder than I own. One of my secret ‘decorating’ wishes has always been to have drop down attic stairs but I’ve never had a place where they would work. As of yesterday I have both.

The builder and I did a test and I can open and close them unassisted! I must confess to a small squee of delight. 

Matariki

It’s Matariki, Māori New Year signalled by the rise of the star cluster known here as Matariki, the Pleiades elsewhere. It’s a weaving project weekend too and we have gotten carried away with stars.
