Scary......
I see the "grumpy" Rosey has prompted some response ! Lovely to see the new postings and the photos.Not a lot to report from down here. We've had some mild sunny days lately, no wind either, so it has been very pleasant. Busy in the garden with the Autumn tidy-up but have help coming today to finish that off.
DGD (15yrs) fell off her bike in a cycle race last w/end. Taken by ambulance to the hospital but, thankfully, had very little in the way of injuries. It's shaken her confidence though and she's now wondering whether or not to continue with it as her sport. My suggestion that she takes up chess or quilting didn't seem to inspire.......
DD#1 is swanning around England, catching up with friends and relatives, having tucked her four children away in Boarding Schools.... She accompanied her DH on business trips to China and Italy last month. Hard life for some ... Meanwhile, DD#2 slogs away in Auckland with three teenagers at home, a full time job and tight budget and a difficult husband.... Seems that a woman's life is still largely determined by whom she marries....
Our "potential buyer" came out last week. She is keen to buy, but her expensive and new home in Christchurch was badly damaged in the earthquake and it could take awhile to sort out the finances. We are in no hurry to leave here so it still might suit The property we looked at two weeks ago was sold earlier this week. I don't think we will look around again until we have the money in the bank from the sale here. It's all a bit unsettling ..
Time to go to the local Farmers Market. It's close by and has lots of "home grown" goodies. I'm after some of this seasons walnuts today..
Have a good w/end.
