Boundary

Previous owners of the neighbouring property played fast and loose with the boundaries and put up a fence that, far from straight, strayed over 2 metres into our property. It was like that when we bought it and by the time I came out from UK to study what we'd bought, the neighbouring property had new owners too. I noticed the wildly out of alignment fence but was still figuring out how to raise the subject with the neighbours (great neighbours by the way - fabulous - lets call them M&F), when a second neighbour (L) with whom we and M&F also share fences pointed out the startling kink. "L is a stickler for straight" said M&F, "He'll want to straighten it out." And sure enough he did; built a whole new fence as a continuation of one he was building along his boundary with me. It is entirely agricultural - warratahs (also called Y-posts or standards) and 'hurricane' netting. It's dog-proof - that's all M&F are looking for - and...

Muscles

14 March 2026 was the occasion of the 22nd annual Havelock Mussel Festival. Havelock styles itself the Green-lipped Mussel capital of the world. The industry is a big employer here. Naturally a Mussel Festival would have food stalls selling all manner of culinary variations based on mussels. It has mussel-shucking competitions, lots of displays on industry developments, science, research, ecosystem studies and sea bed restoration, music from sea-shanty bands (among others) and stalls selling a variety of crafted wares. I bought a pottery bowl to feed my addiction for collecting such things - the art of a ceramicist from Anakiwa. One of the popular attractions (for spectators and slightly inebriated adult males) was a barrel riding challenge... That is a lot harder than it looks like it should be. We didn't see anyone stay on to the end. At $5 for 3 attempts it successfully raised a lot of dosh to send 2 local volunteer fire-fighters to some international fire-fighting skills sport...

Hijacked

Mum wants to hijack my blog to publish a knitting pattern she has designed and written. I shouldn't let her do it but she isn't very tech savvy and she doesn't know how else to link it to her Ravelry account. She no longer has a blog of her own (deleted her old email address and locked herself out of the blog - stupid woman - but you can see the remnants of it here Mum's Baking Blog ) I'm making this as difficult as possible for her - sleeping with my face on the lefthand end of her keyboard. She has SHIFT and CTL on the other end but I have control of the letter A and my chin on the Caps Lock. She is very persistent, but she still hasn't worked out how to make it into a downloadable .pdf ( edit - oh yes she has Mr T -a lot can happen in 24 hours!) Oh alright then put it here but I disown the content from here on (unless there is money for catfood in it.......) pattern as .pdf file Koko Jacket and Hat Materials: 2 skeins Lanas Stop Norman...

Nature Friday- Webs

On a misty morning the webs had collected droplets of dew. As I write this we have had 45 hours or relentless rain. It has over-topped the rain gauge 2 mornings in a row (rain gauge is 200mm - 8 inches) and I'm getting worn down by the audio assault of water hitting the aluminium tin can in which I dwell. My land is between 2 and 4 inches deep in water running off the hillsides above me and the electricity has gone off. Scully turned up sometime yesterday and I didn't hear her imprecations to be let in over the drumming of rain on metal. (She whimpers - doesn't bark.) I only discovered her hiding under the caravan when I opened the door to retrieve a bucket. We need a break and this is forecast to go on through tomorrow. src="

Energy

Where has the month gone? Lots of humans 'take holidays' this month it seems and F has been working two jobs throughout - week after week a different person to 'cover' for. I meanwhile have been supervising birdfeeders from my 'hide'. We still have plenty of wood pigeons (in my experience there is no season that doesn't have wood pigeons on the lawn), dozens of starlings arrive every morning for breakfast. They seem not to be able to go anywhere without 'holding hands' but they squabble noisily with their mates, and throw food out of the feeders to crows and pigeons waiting on the ground below. The crows are always jumpy under the bird feeders, the starlings famously expel other waste that the crows do not want stained onto their smart shiny black coats. The robin, sparrows, tits (3 kinds - the flock of long tailed tits has returned), a pair of blackbirds, occasional visits from our woodpecker with the red hat, and the chattering of a wren we hav...
