morning ladies 
I hope you all enjoyed your yummies last night. The pie we made was so good, even if it was just savoury mince. I bought a family mince pie ages ago and it had cheese on top of the pastry so I suggested to MrK he grate some on ours. It made the pastry so crispy on top.
The wind has knocked down a tree across the road, no doubt our nieghbour will out with his chainsaw when the weather clears. You get so used to seeing things and now the tree is gone, it looks odd.
Our waxeyes use a branch of the magnolia tree to take turns at the food but I suspect they are getting brassed off with the sparrows. They are plucky little birds and stand their ground. I put a very soft kiwifruit out yesterday and more bird pudding out yesterday but looking at it now, it looks like everything needs to be replenished again.
Our friends gave us a kahawai as a thank you for looking after their dogs and cats over the weekend. MrK is going to prepare it for smoking and then pop it into the freezer until we have a fine day to smoke it. Yummmm, warm, freshly smoked kahawai is a favourite here.
A tablecloth I crocheted about 30 years ago has finally given up the ghost so it looks like my hooks have to come out again. I'm surprised it lasted that long but I remember I used Milford cotton which is a very good brand. I wonder if I used the same brand if it will last the distance this time.
Roma, the wind here is awful, take care when driving over the Kaimais today.
Happy crafting
