Another beautiful morning in HB - going to have a lazy day today - bit of online shopping to do first - had a brainwave in the night- have had real difficulty getting suitable fabric wide enough to back my Dr Seuss blanket - in the early hours of the morning a light bulb went off a good quality single sheet would be perfect was going for a stretch merino fabric - not sure why now as it won’t be a blanket that gets used as it’s white
Popeye I am with Meridian - pleased I received my bonus as my rate is up but it was legislated to remove our low user rebate over the next 5 years - from 30c to 60c in 2022 - 60c to 90 in 2023 then a whopping $1.20 a day in 2024 - it keeps increasing until 2027 - it was the dumbest legislation ever especially as it hit all our food processors growers and retailers with a 25% increase in power costs because it was unfair they received a prompt payment discount - which went back to the power companies - 51% therefore to the govt but every kilo of meat or litre of milk or load of bread went up at least 14c a kg on meat at the checkout - dumb .If you do that power switch thing Popeye will show you your best option
There have been many many offers to give the collie a home - it obviously came down the flooded river and was a miracle she wasn’t swept out to sea like so many other pets who ended up washed up on the beach for days after Gabrielle passed - her owners obviously have moved on
Kiwimade you are up to the exciting bit now creating the flowers
Have some persimmon arriving this morning - never sure when they are ready to eat - last year I left them too long
Hoping everything is going to fall into place today for my motel Mum - she won’t be going back to the motel - found another house sitting job - but I hear the new government have put families to the top of the list to get out of motels so that’s a good start
