A Thing

Not sure what kind of a thing but two of these have appeared at work in the past week and are now just waiting.

Curtains

Literally and figuratively. The painters have been in and out all week which has meant my kitchen has been curtained off so they can do the ceiling and just the ceiling. It also means curtains to the work to find and fix the leak. It’s such a good job you’d never guess the drama.

No More Gaps

Very slowly the hole in my kitchen ceiling is being dealt to. Several days of rain confirmed the fix was good so the boards were patched then this week we have plaster.

Mood

We’ve had it all this week; rain, wind, sleet and even some sunshine. Coughs and colds abound and we are all a bit tired and generally over it. Including Huia.

Jellyfish?

We’ve had sparkling clear days all week but that’s meant it’s been super cold, snow on the hills and frost in places it usually doesn’t settle. I finally got a good photo of the space jellyfish imprint on my window at work. 

This is on the eighth floor so after much discussion space jellyfish seemed the most reasonable explanation. (It’s actually the imprint of the glass lifting suction system but for obvious reasons I’m sticking with jellyfish)

Satisfying

For the last six weeks we’ve been chugging our way through the next join on our big weaving project. Today it’s done!  This is always a moment of great satisfaction, only eight more to go, thankfully getting shorter each time.

Be A Lert

The massive earthquake on the east coast of Russia made us into a nation of lerts. We practice the emergency notification system every year but this one was for real. 

Luckily being at work on the 8th floor and nowhere near a boat we were officially fine.
