Warm and blustery here - decided to put the winter covers on my veggie pods - hope nobody was watching after several attempts and having the cover blow back over me I realised if I stood with the wind coming from behind I might succeed .The temperature is supposedly going to drop dramatically
Venetian your factory visit was special - on one of our trips to Japan - my husband worked for the Japanese company who owned the pulp mill - one trip they took me to a silk factory - I could have stayed there a week- watching them embroider was so beautiful - they gave me a beautiful little clutch purse - gave it to one of my granddaughters who does a lot of socialising
Staggering decision to take those kids into the cave -I would have thought the children who were trapped in the cave in Thailand would have been a warning for ever
The house next door to me - well its a little cottage that was destined for demolition but housing NZ were desperate for houses around covid time so they have rented it for the last couple of years for a refugee couple - they speak very little English and keep very much to themselves - except before my dog died they used to call him over when they had a BBQ and give him a sausage - anyway on Sunday I heard a chainsaw start up over the fence - thought he might be cutting up firewood - next thing one of the camellia crashed to the ground - then a beautiful Acer - he then moved to the magnolia and started hacking at that - I shouted at him so he shot up another tree close to the fence - this shows how dumb he was https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/...044922.jpg. I couldn’t contact the owner but thank goodness the saw ran out of fuel
The owner has been trying to get them out - she built behind and intends to turn the front into a garden - I am glad they are going as we are going to put up a new fence when the demolition happens
