morning ladies 
It's bucketing down but meant to clear up later today.
It's an early start for me this morning as I'm taking a friend's dad to Waikato Hospital for another appointment. So once again, I get to drive his new car.
Yesterday we ended up in Thames, well. just above Thames at one of those pretty bays. We were there to look at a crib/batch friends have recently bought. There is a huge poinsettia tree (yep, it's that big) with hundreds of monarch butterflies feeding on it. And there is the biggest pphutukawa I have ever seen, it's monstrous. Just gorgeous. Beautiful spot and holiday home but you do have wonder about climate change and how this will affect their new property in the future.
We missed seeing the Royal Tattoo on the telly, hopefully it will be repeated or we can find it on demand. I will also miss seeing Her Majesty when she falls off her perch. She is such stalwart and will be terribly missed.
omgg Lilith, you dared to walk your boy away from leaf piles! lmao Poor thing, I bet he was thinking terrible thoughts about you lol.
Once home this afternoon I'll be making marmalade as we came home from Thames with a big bag of oranges. The rinds have been soaking overnight with the pith tied into a bag so this should help with the pectin. I'll be able to give some to our friends who own the tree.
Happy crafting
