You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Congratulations Lilith   Ruihi is such a pretty name.  And lovely to have some happy news on the message board

It is a lovely name isn't it, have only seen photos so far but as far as I can tell, it suits her. Eldest granddaughter will take me to meet her some time this coming week, so something to look forward to.

I must have done something amazingly brilliant in a past life, to have all these brilliant grandkds & now great grandkids.


Managed to get more of those blardy buttercups out, but there are quite a lot so obviously likely to take some time, & the ground along that bit is still quite wet as well.

Got the bed dismantled and remade..

Had "help" with the tie on's, she nearly got put out of the room lol..

The bed is nice and warm now. Hope to have a peaceful sleep in there tonight.

Also got my glass items arranged. The Hurricane glass has a white candle in it. it doesn't look right, but some red ones will be with me this week from Temu. Must check their height.

I will attempt to make one of the cabinets tomorrow.

Been reading the instructions for the Happy Birthday Your old enough to play with your Pooh Test. Long time since I helped with MrPs lol. Exciting stuff lol.

Now if I had my new glasses id be snuggled up in bed reading.. The other test was for Peripheral vision.. Goodness knows why they couldn't do that at the same time.

morning ladies We have another pea souper out there, can't even see across the road. Typical Waikato.

Those bl**dy buttercups are a PITA. Very persistent and spread by those damed runners. And they don't pull out easily either. You have my sympathy Lilith.

Our son informed us he will be coming home for a visit next year We miss him terribly and it will be good to hug him again.

It looks like it's going to be an indoorsy day so could be a chance to get into a wardrobe and sort out more stuff for the op shop. We have a huge Sistema container chokka with Lego no one plays with. Am thinking maybe we should sell it, there will be someone out there who will love it. And there is a pile of books that could be donated to the book fair.

Speaking of Sistema, I see the founder of Sistema has been awarded a KNZM in the Kings Birthday Honours List. I've stopped buying the stuff as I hate the new way the lids clip on and off.

The morning is marching on, might make a start in the wardrobe while MrK is sleeping and can't 'supervise' lol. He's not as ruthless as me

Morning all 
Crisp start nippy and dark at 7am mwhen went to gym

Someone will snaffle your lego KM and pay reasonable money for it too.

Sewed up new merino top used my TNT tshirt pattern and a collar neckline from another pleased with the result,  need to get some buttons for decorative effect. I hate to think how long the fabric has beennin my stash.

Counting down the sleeps 14 before we get to meet  some k9s. Same breed.

Got couple of gym buddies coming for morning tea they  are thinking of moving to the village

Enjoy your day

Good morning. 

The blue sky has clouded over and it's cold. 

Congratulations on the birth of your new GGD Lilith ... gorgeous name. Yes, I remember buttercups being the bane of my gardening life ... at least I didn't have oxalis (previous garden) as well!

I have boxes of lego also.  Will need to hang on to it for a bit longer, it gets played with occasionally still. The optimum time to sell it is before Xmas  ... it commands premium price then!

Nice to look forward to son visiting KM ... we are planning to meet up with DS and family down county some time in the next few months ... you do miss them. 

Fun for you getting your new house just right Popeye. Missy sounds happy too.

Might try and get to Bunnings soonish for some plants ... before the busy-ness on the road!

Enjoy the day all.

Our library has a lego stash that gets well used. They called for donations, lol, but I suspect their dead book sales ended up paying for the stuff.

My late friend Ali's husband worked for The Warehouse for years and they became close friends with the Sistema guy. I remember her telling me what a great guy he was and one of those really good employers who looked after his people really well. Always nice to see someone make it and take others with them on that journey up the ladder.

Morning everyone

Woah chilly this morning but clear as a bell out.

Oh it was nice to sleep in a nice warm bed. But was very creaky this morning... In fact call out pain when I tried to move.. but its mending.. I dont want to give in this time. Madam discovered the bed was warm lol..

I need to pop into the oppy and see if they have another touch lamp for the hall. I like a low light on to sleep, but dont want to move the one in the lounge, yet. So I put the hall light on and shut the door a bit. I dont like closed off rooms to sleep in. Of course the Oppie had half price on the electrical on Saturday lol.

Since it is fine I will dig out the rope, pretty sure I know where that is. And go out and try and make a nice rope fence for the passionfruit plants. And plant the second plant. It wont be pretty but should work.

Then if I have any puff left Ill start on one of the cabinets.. Looking forward to that.

One must take more notice when buying things online.. The candles I ordered are not very tall. Not big enough for the hurricane lamp anyway. So Ill buy one at the $2 type shops on Wednesday when I go to Housie.

They will be good for my Bamboo look white dishes tho. So that gives me another option for the coffee table.

I hadn't realized how much I like pretty things, matching things and My things. I guess so many years of making MrP happy, is catching up with me.

I was thinking yesterday, its funny how I buy stuff I like for other people. The Hurricane lamp being one. I got our first landlords up here one for their new place in Australia. That was ohh 10 years ago maybe.. Now I finally have one myself lol.

I agree with Roma, Kiwimade.. take some time and wash the Lego well. And save it for before Christmas, an ex friend used to buy and sell Lego and she made a pretty penny from it.

Have a wonderful day everyone
