You can never have enough...

I bought sunflower marge this week for the first time for years. Sad, but $9 for 500grams for NZ made butter is just plain silly. Fonterra is having a laugh at our expense. Soon it'll be cheaper to buy the cream and make our own again, easy enough with a food processor. Just a pain...

One of my butterflies as broken out of its chrysalis, a boy, wings pumped up nicely and it looks healthy, so that is a special pleasure. And the builders have carted down the old rimu pelmet from the refurbed flat for me, after I mentioned I could use it for garden edging. They're a nice bunch this time round, no portaloo and very considerate of us lot with their noisy tools. Now I just need the seedling grass to get a bit stronger so I can put the edging in on one side, it'll replace a rather warped board I put there seven years ago and stop my spent potting mix donations cascading downhill.

Scavenging pays around there, lol!

And Jan? About the budget, are the Nats trying to grow the prison industry or what? More beds and ppp developments of new prisons? That works soooo well overseas... (???)

When times are tough, crime goes up. And rather than look at other means, they build prisons...
