Sunny, Warm and Quiet.

Lovely day in Silverstream.

Strong sunshine has raised the temperature to about 20°C, and the hills to our South East are glorious.

Just finished cleaning the barbie and putting it away for the winter that is fast approaching.

Bit of weeding amongst the final year's growth.

Garden is pretty lush at the back of our house



Needs a lot of weeding and some Blood & Bone (Traditional Kiwi fertilizer)

As a final touch, I've de-rusted some metal angels a friend gave us 5 years ago, and re-painted them. I've also painted their feet to look like Hunter's Wellies

Painted Metal Angels (almost a good name for a pop group)

Ahhh.  The tranquility of the holidays.

No kids.

No staff.

No trouble.

Sunny Sunday

Gorgeous day.
I'm planning on spending a good part of it in the garden.
With the bad weather we've been having, the weeds are getting out of hand.

My beloved does not believe in "Chemical gardening" so I am not allowed to use weed killers, and have to dig the things out by hand.
My beloved is away to Church, doing whatever it is God-botherers do, leaving me in peace with a cup of coffee and the computer.

I am resisting temptation to go and look at essential things, like NZQA, school web-mail etc.

Dog is asleep on the sofa, sunlight is streaming in the windows, bacon, hash browns, egg and sausage are sizzling, the All Blacks beat the Wallabies (again).

Life sometimes just doesn't get better.
I can forget that tomorrow I pick up the reins of Relief Setting, that I have to arrange the Report Templates, that I am starting on the Timetabling committee.
I just enjoy the moment.

Oops, I smell the bacon starting to burn.
Brunch calls, my beloved will soon be home. I'll set the table in the garden, and we can enjoy an al fresco brunch under the stranger Sun.

Have a nice day.
I will.
