Kiwimade - great news your son heading to Japan - it’s a fantastic place to visit - wouldn’t want to do it now with my bung leg - there are so many people you have to keep moving - I used to bring back coloured pencil and painting sets for all the kids - your grandchildren would love them - cheap as chips lovely colours and the cutest containers that were keepers - like the silk thread can be poked into the corner of the suitcase
We have a great neighbourhood - thankfully not coffee everyday types but the care that is shared for the occupants of the community house for the 6 mentally challenged adults that have been there 25 years is fantastic - without the community help they would all be on the street or in an institution
My son has been up in the US visiting his customers getting a feel for what post Trump will mean - he sells product to builders of sustainable homes - so they are more likely to be democrats - they will still buy even if there is tariffs put on his product which is good to hear as 135 people work at the plant that turns waste wood into these stairs that Americans love in their eco friendly homes as they are made out of what normally goes to waste - a photo of a sample - makes a lovely staircase when they are finished Mr K maybe interested - tell him it is made from the slabs left over when the dressing grade timber is cut
These manufacturing jobs using up waste are worth saving so I hope our govt don’t upset that orange haired lunatic

Temperatures have certainly dropped but I won’t moan pleased we are not still in Oz
