Thursday.
It's not "brrrr" here Sara, it's "phew" ! We had a very hot day yesterday and today looks as if it's heading the same way. We were invited to some new neighbours for lunch yesterday, which we enjoyed, then, at night, we went to another neighbour for a BBQ. The evening was perfect and we were able to enjoy sitting outside until it was time to come home. There has been a lot of subdivision around here in the last two years, so there has been an influx of new people. We all still have our own patch (we have 25acres here) and can't see any other houses from where we live, so we in no way feel "invaded" !! The men, in both of the homes we visited yesterday, work from home, the wives are teachers. The children have left home. They are really enjoying the rural lifestyle and are keen to get to know their neighbours. We had them all here for a meal way back in the winter. It was nice to catch up with them again.
So sorry to hear of the sickness which has left Jean and Rosey feeling so miserable. Do hope you will both be feeling better soon . Keep warm and consume lots of chicken soup ! Wonder how poor Gus is ? I hope he is recovering too.
DD#2 and family will be down (from Auckland) on Saturday. We will meet them at the airport and take them over to the house at the bay. DSIL and his father have a building project in mind and can't wait to get started. I had hoped they would be here for at least a day or two but it seems that this is the plan. DSIL returns to Auckland after two weeks, DD and the Grands will have an extra week and spend it with us. Problem with that is, that "life" resumes around that time, and I have a couple of commitments during that week which cannot be changed and will take me out of circulation.....
DH is making a workbench in the garage, having decided that woodwork is to be his new hobby (at 68 ??) Anyway, I can only encourage him as he really does need a home based hobby.. He's made a good job of it so far, so I hope that will encourage him ! I'm not quite sure what he intends to make , I will be watching with interest !
Enjoy the day.

Every man needs a workbench in the garage, even if he doesn't do anything on it. It's a "spot" for him. On our local HGTV they call it a Man Cave.

Hey, let him go for it! My D?H is 70 and no hobby other than ordering me around, aargh! That and hogging the computer all day playing games far into the night with the attendant noises they make. It will be worth it to have him out of your hair. Hugs! Lavinia-TN
