morning ladies 
We have fog! Not surprising considering how hot the day was yesterday and how cold it was overnight.
Thank you for the kind comments about the garden, it has been work, but I've never thought of it that way.
Buggar about the fudge, popeye. Hopefully it's still edible!
Yesterday MrK emptied the first big garden pot of spuds and omgggg they were delicious with dinner. There is nothing like eating your own veg. Last night every vegie on our plate was from the garden.
Today I need to take the recycling into the transfer station. There is a new place to recycle batteries and we have a few to dispose of. It's great to be able to do that safely now. While out and about I need to buy some cornflour to bake shortbread and for the pavs.
We had a very close call on the Kaimais on Friday when travelling to our family bbq. There was a hidden queue due to the primary school at Tauriko having their end of year festivities. I was driving and following a Lexus with the proper driving distance (as proven by not rear ending him!) and the Lexus driver hit the brakes when we came into a dip in the road. There was a massive queue at a stand still which we couldn't see and we were travelling at the speed limit. OMG he hit the brakes and came to a stop just behind the car in front, I hit the brakes and stopped behind him but the van behind us was following closer. Luckily when I braked, I stayed in a straight line and didn't veer left as the van behind us veered to the left to avoid us and ended with the driver level with MrK's shoulder. I was physically shaking by now and the look of shock on the driver's face told the story. We were so lucky the road was wide enough for him to veer to the left and I stayed put. If he had hit us, we wouldn't be here today. Luckily it took a few minutes for the queue to move so it gave us time to gather our wits. I was still shaking though when we got to the bbq. MrK opened his window to ask the driver if he was ok and he gave a nod and we pretty much followed each other for a while with him keeping a healthy distance behind us.
Time to get moving, the Furry One wants his sniff around the garden and 'needs' me to be there with him. He loves routine.
Happy crafting
