Good afternoon from a rathe4 cloudy day in the Bay - might blow over might not
I have been to Japan 3 times would love to go back - Kiwimade you would need to tack on one extra day at least to go on one of the embroidery tours - they take you to the silk weavers - the colours made me cry - and the cherry blossoms and temples - and of course the food and the karaoke bars - it was impolite to laugh but they have no inhibitions - loved loved loved Japan
Had a good news story that all the animal lovers will love - a young border collie had somehow survived Gabrielle and ended up on an island out by the river mouth between the two bridges - all year people have kayaked food out to her - tried to trap her but she resisted all human contact - Saturday a lady dog whisperer went out onto the island - fed the seagulls as the young dog watched - I am not sure how long she was out there - she eventually sat down and put a blanket beside her - eventually the dog approached her with its tail between its legs but wagging and licked her face - she sat quietly with her and eventually put a lead on and led her to safety - the video is brilliant - need tissues .She is estimated to be around 2 years old - nobody has claimed her which is strange
Had some yellow tamarillo sent to me - must say I prefer the red original - enjoyed them
Was chatting to the man who baits my rat tunnels - said this year is the worst he has ever seen - showed me the track they are taking across my lawn to the walnut tree in the reserve and going under my fence he thinks probably nesting in next doors grape vine - he popped over to tell them and got a frosty reception Mr Grump next door thought he was soliciting business but he has more work than he can cope with .He showed me the system he sets up in mice infested houses - a series of traps in a container called a Mouse Cafe - they enter the cafe which is baited and kapow - you can’t see the dead mouse which he said is popular with families with kids
