Being Productive

Last weekend the weavers hit the road and returned to Rangataua. We visited last year and did a mighty weekend of prep for what turned out to be Wheturangi, the stars that are now up at the Johnsonville Community Hub. This year we were doing our own thing but as with last year, there was lots of sharing, learning and as much watching as doing.

For me it was super productive and these are now ready for our Waitangi Day stall next weekend. 

And of course where there is weaving there is Huia. 

COVID Post

This could mean a number of things but in my little corner of the world it’s the effect COVID has on moving objects around the world. Yesterday I got home to a little selection of treats in my letter box

From the bottom up and in chronological order they are some online shopping (Nov), a card from Canada (pre Christmas) and goodies from my Mum (late Dec). Frustrating but fun when they all come at once. 

Tetris Continues

Over the break home Tetris continued. Piles moved and consolidated...

And made room for a proper work from home setup. 

I’m also slowly going through boxes and finally clearing some things out. Last week’s recycling included a selection of old cards and an array of random photocopied things that were obviously a good idea at the time. 

Upholding Tradition

It’s been a non-traditional Christmas this year but some traditions stand up well in weird times. So, it’s Boxing Day, I’m having a ham sandwich for lunch and watching cricket from the MCG.

Almost there

It’s been a crazy year and a crazy few weeks to finish it off. But the end is nigh (only tree more work days to go) and after being in bud for what feels like ages my Pōhutukawa is finally flowering. It’s starting to feel a bit like Christmas. 

Cupboards

Turns out it’s really hard to take a flattering picture of a cupboard. Here’s my best attempt with the one in the front room... 

  

The one in the back room has just been painted so job for tomorrow is shelves. Tetris is still very much in place for both rooms and other stash spots around the house. 

     

Waiting

Can you spot who’s waiting for me when I get off the bus?

Sometimes patiently like this, other times running out to meet me. Nice to be missed (even if it’s mostly about the snacks).
