Queuing

Give librarians and archivists the chance to see treasures from the vaults and we will literally queue. 

Letters, photographs, sheet music, illuminated manuscripts, annotated first editions, protest badges and truely eye watering wallpaper samples (just visible at the bottom) were just some of the things we had the chance to ooh and aah over. 

Degree of Difficulty

It’s a weaving weekend and we’re up to the next join in our big project.  A couple of us have given ourselves an extra challenge and are stoked that we’ve cracked it. 

What you’re looking at is a join, maintaining the pattern of holes while they change direction. 

After The Storm

More extreme weather over the last couple of days but the upside this morning is a stunning end to end rainbow. 

Calm

 Today is one of those glorious good days in Wellington, harbour is calm, light breeze, sun is shining. We are enjoying it because the whole North Island is under some kind of weather warning from this evening. 

You’d never guess but there’s a serious cyclone incoming. 

Laying Low

It’s been a massive few weeks and I may have overdone it. I had zero plans for Easter but I now also have a head cold to deal with (not Covid, tested three times and definitely not Covid) so making sure I really do take it easy. 

Catering

We had a big event at work this week and I was on shopping duty. There’s something very satisfying about good packing. 

Weather

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had it all; rain, hail, wind, sideways rain with hail and the occasional glorious day with nothing but sunshine. No surprise then that this little weather icon has been getting a workout.
