The perennial problem of writing a diary is that when you’re busy, you’ve got lots to write about and no time to write it, and when you’ve got plenty of time to write, you’ve got nothing significant to say… Anyway, now that the rush is over, I’ll attempt to catch up a bit. Going back…
Forgot to add this (and the previous entry is so long, I thought a new entry might be in order): Despite having travelled between Christchurch and Alexandra many times over the years, I have never managed to see Mount Cook from Lake Tekapo – it’s always been clouded over. Well, last Friday I finally got…

Ok, third attempt to write this entry – the last two times I got about one paragraph in, and then somehow managed to click the wrong thing and lose it again – I’m not normally that technologically incompetent, I think it was just tiredness (late night last night, and then up early this morning).

As promised, lytteltonwitch arrived this morning armed with an overlocker and a spare sewing machine (her other overlocker wasn’t working properly, but as it turned out, the extra sewing machine was of more use anyway, because mine continued to behave erratically, so I gave up using it). We sent MrPloppy up to the bakery to…
While sewing the handles for the goody bags the other day, I realised that sewing all 40-odd bags was going to take more cotton than the one roll I’d bought. So, as MrPloppy had to go into town yesterday anyway, I asked him to pop into Ballantynes’ craft department and pick me up some more….
That’s the trouble with being back at work, not as much time to do fun stuff like writing diary entries. However, I *am* getting quite a bit of reading done – no, not at work (though it’s tempting sometimes!), but in my lunch break (I find a nice quiet spot under a tree somewhere to…
