There must have been a special on fire alarms when they were fitted by the previous owners of this house -there are 2 in the very small lounge and one kept going off on a regular basis frightening the living day lights out of me - I have very high ceilings and even balancing very precariously on my step stool I can’t reach it - one night I was so mad with it grabbed my Dads walking stick and whacked the blardy thing with my best golf swing - unfortunately I damaged the Art Deco scotia and dented the wall but the alarm ended up down the hall - picked it up switched it off and it went off again - I reckon it was the old boy haunting me for still being up in the wee small hours - in case it was him I took it to Ahuriri were he loved to sit and read and dumped it in the rubbish bin -
My grandson who has just started at Canterbury university has gone down to spend St Patrick’s day with one of my granddaughters who is a seasoned student at Otago - she has had strict instructions from all the parents involved to look after him and his mates - can imagine them laughing together
Heard a Tui in the reserve last night - still no swallows or starlings or ducks in the creek just one lonely dove
I am up to row 153 of 240 of the blanket I am working on - the end is in sight - promised myself I would sew ends in as I go but once again have shown my lack of resolve
