If I actually posted here more often, you’d have noticed that everything looked a bit weird around here for a week or two, because the WordPress theme I was using broke, so the site reverted to a default, and everything went ugly. But thankfully our fearless leader Steve was able to update the theme (which,…
umber one thing: I want to know whose decision it was to schedule the election for the same weekend that daylight savings starts? Have they no sympathy for those of us who stay up half the night to watch the results, and then get an hour less to sleep in the morning? This is nothing…
Got home last night and found a large envelope in the letterbox. Inside, a beautiful watercolour painting by the talented Yetzirah. It’s even more gorgeous in person than it looked on screen – can’t wait to find an appropriate frame and decide where to hang it! Some of the blossom is out on the cherry…
Typical, you go for weeks without a blog post, and then two come along at once! This one is because I spent the afternoon out at Tai Tapu with Lytteltonwitch, at a sculpture exhibition, and took very many photos, so I thought I’d better get them edited and posted before they get added to the…
Going home today, but in the meantime I managed to fit a lot into the last few days of my holiday. (Note to vegetarians, vegans, and those of a delicate constitution, you probably want to skip this first paragraph). First was a hunting expedition on Saturday night.

First page of my Cool Cats birthday colouring book: As soon as I saw that face, I just had to colour him to look like Raji! (I don’t know if I got his markings exactly right, Mum, but don’t you agree that’s totally a Raji expression he’s got on his face???)
decided to take a very long weekend this weekend, because (a) all the stress and uncertainty at work has been very tiring, so a break is definitely in order, (b) my leave is again accumulating to a point that HR will soon start sending me friendly reminders that I really do need to get my…
ytteltonwitch having acquired a new car, she suggested an expedition today to introduce it to such wonders as hills and unsealed roads (its previous owner had only ever driven it around town on the flat, so the poor wee thing isn’t going to know what’s hit it, with the places Lytteltonwitch is likely to take…
I don’t think I’ve shown you the latest additions to my wall(s) of art. This guy Mum found for me on Trademe: (Despite appearances, it really is hanging straight – it’s just that I had to stand at a bit of an odd angle to get the photo without too many reflections in the glass…
