Spiders

I spent last weekend at the biannual weavers hui in Rotorua. It was massive, exhausting, inspiring and I took almost no photos because I kept forgetting. 

This week was Halloween and creative types have been leaning heavily into the spiders. 

New Tech

I finally have earbuds and the best part is that, in their charging case, they look remarkably froggy.

Decisions

 This is what decision making looks like in our current crazy weather. 

Circles of wet paw prints as Huia decides whether it’s an inside day or an outside day. Several valiant attempts at going out but I suspect I know which will win. 

Springing

It’s properly spring which means a quick succession of wind, rain, sunshine and drizzle, often in combination.  The final sign is the clematis over the bins being in flower. 

Bearly There

It’s been a busy week mostly out of the office. Two days at the big national libraries conference and another day with international visitors. I haven’t conferenced in years so it took me a bit to get back in the groove but once I did it was fantastic. Fabulous to see librarians from previous lives, catch up on all the news and hear from inspiring speakers. Plus there was swag so I’m now well stocked up on notebooks, pens and support bears. 

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.
