If you want to take your mind off all the bad things going on in this country and around the world for a period, may I suggest doing a Gustav Klimt jigsaw puzzle. It’s especially mind focussing when you discover you missed a yellow edge piece, during initial separating. 😁

Doing two house/pets sits at the same time , plus trying to finish a jigsaw that’s proving tortuous. So much blue, so little patience from me😂

Staff lunches getting interesting in NZ. Headline from a NZ provincial newspaper.

Sometimes exploring the rock pools of a beach is just as much fun as playing in the water. Mooloolaba Beach at low tide, delivering holiday fun.

A nice trip to Yandina markets this morning to replenish vege supplies. Lemon and lime “seconds” at $3 for 10. Great bargain. Just 3 and a half lemons gives me 14 lemon ice blocks. Is there as rule about what time is gin o’clock?

My sister took this photo from the classroom she is relief teaching at. Looks magical.

If you can’t sleep, I recommend doing jigsaw puzzles!
Finished this one at 01:20 this morning. Started Friday night. 1000 pieces

I couldn’t cope with this bloke back in parliament. Go Zoe. 🤞

Who’s keen to hear what Warren Mundine, Clive Palmer and Michaelia Cash have got to say on election night? Not me that’s for sure.

I have to do some work at my housesit. 😁

My latest housesit - 7 weeks with these two old mates in Canberra. 🥰🥰
Will miss my beach though!

Had this spider staring down on me when I hung out some washing yesterday. He was in the same posn 5 hours later! No idea what it is, but he looks scary.

UPDATE:

1. Bowler has 3 wickets for 66 off 28 overs.
2. The fans have brought a music box to play btwn overs.

Can’t beat provincial cricket!😁

Bowler with an interesting run up. Reminds me of John Cleese in a Monty Python skit

Been a while since I watched cricket in a venue like this Pukekura Park in New Plymouth. Taranaki v Canterbury. Fabulous

Spent my birthday here today, reminiscing about many happy days as a teenager. My Dad grew up here in the early 1900’s and his ashes are spread here. It also resulted in enjoying a feed of Blue Cod 🥰
The Marlborough Sounds in NZ are a wonderful place to visit. Cousins own the houses on the hill.

Getting away from politics - visiting a new place (New Plymouth in NZ). I enjoy new sights and sounds. Here is a few. 😁

Not the biggest but I love mine. Gets used a lot when I follow my many Spirt House recipes, especially the curry paste ones!

Camera doesn’t do it justice, but the reflection of the moon off the ocean tonight in Mooloolaba is fabulous. Follow down the right edge of the bldg and you can see the shimmer.

Since this site seems to have been taken over by dogs, I am giving some equal time to a cat I am housesitting this weekend!🥰
It has the best purr!!
