The Little Madam freaked me out this morning. I was moving stuff from my room into the spare, cos I wasn't enjoying going into my room. So now I have a nice room, even managed to hang a picture up over the head of the bed.
I was keeping up with keeping her out of the spare store room but she managed to get in there. But I had also taken some stuff out to the recycle bin.
She sauntered out despite me begging and getting very upset.. she was just having a nosey. I dont plan on having that room open often. Just enough to air it out.. I have taken my sewing machines from there to the sewing room too.
But I have to restore the sewing room too I thought she might have got under the desk so pulled things out.
The result, is pain, so I'm resting the bones.
Waiting to hear from Dianne re her biopsy results. Fingers crossed. She doesnt deserve any more cancer.

Popeye paid for the repaint of your old house - it’s part of the rent and now the owners will be able to deduct the total cost of the repaint and what ever else they chose to do off their tax they would have to pay - it’s a win win for them
Went to Sanctuary mountain over Mother’s Day - my grandaughter went camping with her young brothers just what she needed after all the drama that had blown up over pay equity- so much of it is just rubbish - she is hoping the media apply for all the documents under Official Information act - interesting the email they received from Robertson in Sept 2023 advising them funding would not extend past June 2025 is dated the same day as the email that Robertson sent to Kiwirail advising the ferry funding woukd not be extended to cover the infrastructure.My grandaughter has been working very closely with James Shaw - some of her co graduates run a free community law clinic and he was instrumental in getting that off the ground - she became part of the advisory group on his recommendation- she is outspoken and very moral and I know if she says the procedure wasn’t working - well it was obvious to everybody it wasn’t even labour way back in 2023 - but she said it was just a gravy train - not only lawyers but Human Resources
Manager and Financial manager etc etc for the companies would turn up and multiple union delegates - all staying in 5 star accomodation courtesy of the tax payer .She is a real straight shooter - was interested to hear Hipkins interviewed on Newstalk where he was made to answer the question and admitted they would not go back trying to mount a case to prove in court a librarian should get paid the same as a fisheries officer - very hard to prove that
Anyway rant over Hunni - Sanctuary mountain is fantastic - I didn’t see the kakapo but the bush and the birds are being back in time - the kids absolutely loved it - they do night tours as well but I declined .My little foster grandson is too young for a phone but could see he was interested in taking photos - remembered I had a digital camera somewhere - of course it was in the last box I opened - what a mess - but the camera was such a success - here are a couple of his shots

They have a big block of native trees on their property - it’s only 25 mins from Tauranga I think - it’s just down the road from Arapuni dam or Awapuni - hopeless I am
Coffee calls - it’s going up again and Fonterra have another increase coming early June - they could start cutting big blocks like the Chinese are doing for Costco but I for one wouldn’t want to buy a big block of undated butter - I don’t use enough it would go rancid -
Arapuni is over by Putaruru in the South Waikato. So Probably mean Awapuni?
Found the rest of my Diamond painting stuff too.
So Ill be painting again soon Yay.
Yes it’s near Putāruru - he has another mill there - I never get entrusted to be the navigator
