Milestone

After a long summer and an unseasonably warm autumn yesterday was a milestone day, it was cold enough to bring out the puffer. 

Also, only just realised how lovely our bus stop roofs are.

Surprise!

All the stuff for renovating my bathroom is soon going to be stored in my garage. That meant this morning’s job was to make as much space as possible. I decided to put various random lengths of plywood left over from previous work up into the rafters. Some of the roof space is already closed in and in all the time I’ve been here I’ve never been up a ladder to have a look. Manoeuvring bits of ply around I hit an obstacle and look what I found…

No News

It’s been a short, slow, crazy week with absolutely nothing to report except, maybe this…we have sunshine. 

Packing!

Last weekend I channeled hopeful optimism and started packing up my kitchen. 

It must have worked because on Wednesday this arrived!

So this weekend I’m packing in earnest; kitchen, laundry, bathroom and linen cupboard in preparation for a kitchen extension and bathroom refresh. 

Excellent packing skills are a blessing and a curse. I’ve discovered just how much I’ve managed to get into not really very much space.

On a Good Day

You can’t beat Wellington on a good day and it looks like we are going to get a perfectly timed run. Happy Easter!

Going Down

The building site next to work is a hive of activity and absolute heaven for construction geeks. Because it’s going to be super high spec there’s still a long way to go down before they start going up. Action to gently sink some pretty serious column surrounds generated more vibrations than usual and drew an appreciative audience. 

Spot the difference.

My Favourite Season

It’s feijoa season!!!  I no longer have a tree of my own but feijoa season is like lemon season, bags of fruit start appearing everywhere; the kitchen at work, weaving night, on your back doorstep. No need for a sign or a note, everyone understands they are free for the taking and there will be more.
