Two weeks of doing very little. With Mieke visiting here, and she was working on internet all the time, I could not do much. What we did do however, was to bring all her stuff that was in storage in Cambridge to Kihikihi. She sorted out what she want shipped to SA. Boxes everywhere. I just counted 35 discarded boxes. I have no idea what is in them, we will see. Then I will have to coordinate the 4 cubic metres of stuff she wants shipped.

We did manage to buy some Kauri timber from somebody. They have chucked it out as firewood. We also got some real firewood with it. I cut some of it up, but most of it is still waiting for me.

Our church group was here on Saturday, they want to start a community garden, so I volunteered the land. The sprayed the grass with weedkiller, and put up a fence. All of this is work that has been on my list, but I never got around to it.

Last Saturday the group helped somebody to cut a dead tree. I just mentioned that our two lambs are beginning to suffer from a lack of grass. One person volunteered that I could take the labs to his place, he has got ample grazing. Monday morning I built a cage and moved the lambs over. Thank you very much. It is a relief not to have to open and close the gate every time we go out.

We had some lovely weather these last two weeks, but today it started raining. The last forecast I saw said rain until at least Thursday. I think I will hibernate!!!!!!!

The odd post that slipped in was one I have discovered in the draft file, but it seems it was published anyhow, so I deleted it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Love
