We’re still basking in  above average weather.  It was a fiery start to this morning.  It was almost like flames shooting from behind the Tararuas.    This colourful start to the day was just what I needed.  Having been running on adrenalin and coffee for most of the week, my batteries have finally run out of juice.  Thank goodness the weekend is here.

Lots planned in the kitchen.  Also, have a master plan to scupper the antics of the roof rodents that have been giving us sleepless nights.  Best of all I’ve plans for wearing out the bassets who have missed out a few miles of walking whilst I’ve been earning money to keep them in the lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to.  I just love weekends. Shame we only have one a week.
