What?

I worked from home most of last week and we were interviewing for new staff so a lot of zoom meetings with the same people. I work in my spare room where I’m slowly building up a ‘Victorian’ wall, the more is more school of decorating, so this is what I look like…

One of my lovely colleagues finally asked if I had a set of knuckle dusters on my wall (circled in red).

No, dear reader, I do not! They are a row of owls with diamonte eyes that I’ve had since forever and have finally made it out of a treasure box and on to a wall. 

Perfect Storm

This is an intersection not far from home that has become the perfect storm. It’s Saturday morning…

There’s cricket (in the background)…

The queue for the local COVID testing centre…

And Saturday level traffic from the local big hardware store, which is why I was there. 

Still There

 

Democracy in Action

There have been protestors at Parliament most of this week. They arrived Tuesday which is a work from home day for me so I got my first look on Wednesday morning as I rounded the corner to get to the staff entrance. 

Two streets completely blocked and if you look carefully you can see tents under the trees. Not sure how they’re going to fare this weekend as rain and wind are predicted but I guess that’s the cost of commitment to the cause.

Suited Up

A very small group of us got to take part in a very special occasion this week, the blessing of a new building next door to work. As well as being a tiny group (5 of us and 30 in total) we also had to gear up to be on a construction site. I think we look pretty flash in fluro!

The Plan

This might not look like much, just a little black mark on a tile in my bathroom…

But there are three of them and they mark the start of an actual plan for updating my bathroom, kitchen and laundry. 

This also brings lots of catalogues and a hand drawn plan from the builder. Quotes incoming!

Weavers away

It’s Wellington Anniversary weekend and that means our now annual weavers trip to Rangataua. Slightly smaller group this year but same level of creativity.
