morning ladies 
It's dark outside but we are expecting a nice autum day.
lol Lilith, I think you are right, the steroids have kicked in! Long may it last
I have an early start to today as I'm off to Cambridge. But first I have to make a submission on behalf of us both about Waka Kotahi's plans for SH29. They plan to put barriers down the entire length of the road with five roundabouts. The roundabouts, definitely yes!! But the barriers! OMG. It must be a city person who decided this. SH29 is a rural service road as well as a main highway. We will only have a left turn and if we want to go right, have to go to the nearest roundabout to do so. Milk tankers would only be able to turn one way, go up to a roundabout, go around it and come back to the next farm. It will add another 10 kms to a trip to town. And don't forget there are trucking and farm contracting businesses who live on and use the road. Imagine 20 kilometers of being stuck behind a tractor. You think being stuck behind a tractor for even one kilometer is frustrating... wait until they do this! I'm all for barriers, but it is just not practical on SH29. Most fatal accidents that have happened on SH29 have been at the intersections, so just do the roundabouts. That's my rant for the morning lol.
I'm stitching the background to my stumpwork. It's only a small piece but there's a lot of work in it. It's a picture of toadstools and blackberries.
Happy crafting
