I agree. A good, educated, and committed man taken far too soon.
My pineapple seeds have formed a mucus coat so I shall proceed with the next stage. My favourite barista gave me a clear plastic cup with a domed lid, perfect to keep the humidity high for the seed. I took some poached peaches to a friend and scored two beautiful fat bathmats from her linen cupboard sort out. She wanted to give me the matching towels, but there is just me, and I have ample on the shelf. Then as I got close to home I spotted a pine dining chair on the verge, free to a good home, perfect height and solid to have by my raised planters for those days when my spine won't let me stand long enough to play in the dirt. I am tempted to sand and paint it some mad colour but my two noisiest neighbours are horrified at the thought of me painting timber. It's pine, not mahogany, lol. But we shall see.
And I came home to a power and broadband bill from my new supplier, Pulse Energy. Power $32, unlimited Bb $72, that's including gst. I know prices are going up 1st of April, but those rates are considerably better than my old ones with Electric Kiwi. With my fortnightly autopayment of $65 I can see me being in credit for a few months yet. Handy for winter heat pump use, I won't be reluctant to keep the cockles warm if I feel the need. I am not keen on their website layout though, I enjoyed being able to monitor ongoing use and costs, but can't have everything I guess.
All'n all, a good day. And now it is wine time... Happy Hunni!
