You can never have enough...

morning ladies There's a nip in the air this morning but once we get moving we'll be fine.

I love the different colours techno gadgets come in today. Also our 'whiteware' is no longer 'whiteware'. We're looking at replacing our oven and I want a different colour to white MrK is conservative so this is going to take a while.

Today I'll see if the two big piles of weeds will fit in the bins for tomorrow's emptying. If not, it will have to wait for a bit. The salvias have finished and need cutting back. Yes, I know I should wait for the stalks to die off but I never do and they survive and look fabulous each summer. The daffs are up and the dutch iris' are going nuts preparing for spring. We have one lonely monarch caterpillar, fingers crossed the praying mantis' don't spot it.

It would seem Waka Kotahi sent the letters out to ratepayers and missed those renting along our road. We are busy spreading the word. Yesterday there was a nasty accident just up from us, a head on involving an overtaking car. Three helicopters, three fire engines and lots of police. First on the scene was a firefighter with his family on holiday. MrK said this will reinforce the argument for the barrier and it more than likely will. But how does that happen on a fine day, on a straight road with the sun behind the overtaking car. Where does personal responsibility when driving come in. Most of the accidents on SH29 are at the intersections. We haven't had an accident on the straights for a long time.

While gossiping with the neighbours about the barriers (and ok, the accident), we met a neighbour we haven't met before, and I met the little French Bulldog from across the road. OMG the pup was cuteness overload and so funny bouncing around. It literally bounces lol.

If the weather turns this afternoon, I'll be back at the sewing machine. I'm about halfway through the top of this quilt. If I don't feel like that, I'll work on the stumpwork and hopefully try and finish it.

Happy crafting
