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.

Weather

I haven’t done a weather shot in ages. This week, after almost constant rain we got fog. This was the city when I went out for lunch, a welcome hint of blue sky when it finally lifts.

Starting Back

We are well into Level 1 and everything is starting again. Back working at the office, book club is back too and we are back to weaving as well.

Covid Kilos

Lots of people are talking about these but I haven’t seen a change. Then I realised that the entirety of my household’s Covid kilos have gone on here.

Normal(ish)

We are in our 3rd week (I think) of Level 2 and things are feeling a bit more normal, but only a bit. I went to work for a day and there were literal signs of how we are going to be different for quite a while yet.

And our first weaving get together!  We kept it less than 10 (the group limit when we set the date) but it was so wonderful to see everyone.

Out for Lunch!

I took a mental health break on Wednesday and went out for lunch. Out! For lunch! Such a simple thing but so exciting, my first foray out under Level 2 somewhere other than the supermarket and the dairy.
