morning ladies 
Another warm day but we are heading into autum, my favourite season.
I remember that episode of Country Calendar, it was somewhere further north and those pineapples looked delicious. A few years ago, I did a garden ramble thing with my sisters-in-law in Tauranga and walked through a garden with tropical fruit and there was a huge bunch of bananas growing. Could be worth a shot, OHH you never know what can grow here now.
The chap from Livewire Rural is coming today to see if we have 'line of sight' to their tower. If we do, then we're having a dish put on the roof for our internet. No more dealing with two hour waits for Spark to answer their phone only to be cut off and have to start again. No more text messages saying it will be four months before they can fix our internet and no more idiots who have no idea what they are talking about when you finally do reach a person. Fingers crossed we have the line of sight. Must also text and tell the chap that our part of the road is closed but to tell the worker guarding the cones that he is going to our road, and they will let him through.
I'm going to phone AMI this morning as we have two invoices for our emergency repair that should have been paid yesterday (20th). AMI have them but I'd like to know where we stand and if we should find the money to pay them and then we are reimbursed. I hate thinking these payments are going to be late when both companies came out quickly to help us.
MrK plans to repair our outdoor table soon. It needs new timber slats and he said it shouldn't take him long to do. He also wants to get in around our water tank and tidy up. It's another 'dumping ground' of his stuff. He's trying to get stuff done before he has his surgery as he won't be able to do much for a little while until the skin graft heals.
Happy crafting
