You can never have enough...

morning ladies Fog, fog and more fog this morning.

I love your story about your husband's funeral, Jan. The clock striking is strange, but I do believe in that kind of stuff. And who cares if the duneral felt like a wedding We see funerals as a celebration of a life well lived and loved.

That $600 coffin sounds like the one my sister-in-law ordered from a guy in Putaruru, Lilith It was pretty straight forward for put together. Just make sure they use a sealant or you could be leaking out the sides

Our funerals have already been discussed, the kids know where the family documents etc are and what we would like. They know we are organ donors. MrK is compiling a list (a LONG list lol) of songs he wants played at his party. And we have instructions no black is to be worn.

This morning the leaf rake needs to be dug out of the shed and the leaves raked up. The bin man has been, thank goodness. There was a dead magpie half eaten by a rat across the road, so I scooped it up with the spade and binned it. Pretty gross to clean that one up but at least it's not encouraging more rats. When you see what damage the rat did to the magpie, you only have to imagine it's our native birds. It was nasty and the birds don't stand a chance. It reinforces why we are very happy to be trapping and baiting.

Yesterday I stitched the thrush's head a bit more. I'll tweak the beak today as it needs a bit more curviness to it. Overall, I'm happy with it. I must be, there has been very little swearing

happy crafting
