Today every day seems like a rainy Saturday, despite the lovely 17 degree day we had yesterday (8 degrees today) and even though Saturday loses significance when you aren’t working a 9 to 5 week. It’s good to have rain though, made evident by Felix’s muddy pawprints leading from the cat flap to his bowl. He spent the day by the fire – speaking of which, the woodshed is being progressively de-stacked after all that effort to stack it (but what a relief to have it). I dried washing inside, made Anzac biscuits and scones and, with nothing outside clamouring for attention, read the weekend newspaper – and last weekend’s too (the weather must have been better then).
Meantime, the birds are looking for food – with a break while Felix inspects the source of their attention. While admonishing him, I looked at my rather pathetic efforts to brighten up the garden with some colour – pansies and petunias – balanced precariously on the rickety frame of what remains of the greenhouse.
I noted a leak in the garage, and moss on the bricks – just part of the time of year, I guess. Thank goodness for perennially cheerful pansies and petunias. And now it’s cocktail/mocktail time, and Nashville Babylon on RNZ National (‘Well, hello!’).

I’m also drying washing inside, have baked muffins, and read the newspaper. Glad to see the forecast for tomorrow is fine if frosty.

Yes, another nice day to break the gloom! I put the lime tree out to catch the rain (it’s pot is on wheels) and now I’ve pushed it back under the eaves to protect it from the frost.
