Finishing up my accounts today, it’s been a pretty good year so I have some tax to pay. This one is going to be tough: We went for the usualt afternoon walk in somewhat threatening weather but the rain held off. Imagine building it with picks and shovels. https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/alexandra-redoubt-0
Woo hoo, we are into week 4 and hoping that we will move cautiously to open up some more services, particularly online deliveries and services requiring no interaction – eg maybe we can get our grass cut again. Got some delicious mushrooms today picked from the nearby paddock and Hania made a terrific soup. The […]
End of the third week and life settles into a pattern of sorts.

Another busy day in front of the computer unfortunately. Project proposal for the EU and some local learning sites to set up/maintain. It was also not a very nice day for going outside. Ana finished her treasure box and more was done with the jigsaw and the neighbours came by to show us their haul […]
