Oh those were the days Jan! Lovely to hear those so familiar street names... I made the mistake of looking up our old house on Pihanga St, such a garden I had there, and lo and behold so many of the reno changes we had made still there, but in among the google links was one to a council permit issued to demolish the house. That brought me to tears, old griefs do not need much to resurface. I won't look it up again, that house deserved a better ending.
Back from the village with two Phillipa Gregory's, a Val MacDiamid, and a sci fic writer new to me, that should keep me quiet. That and the last bits to renew my back garden hose set up so me and anext but one neighbour can do our watering with a little less effort. Our harvests are slightly offset so we can share vegies and watering both gardens at one time seems logical.
Those and a few bits and pieces so I can sort out a minor algal bloom in the cold water tank saw me tick just about everything off the list, so it was a very productive trip for the week...
