How ironic being hassled by Ian about not being in touch. The shame oh the shame.<\/p>\n
Okay it is winter and I am hunkered down a wee bit. Work has been really really busy. Did I say REALLY ….The time at the office just seems to fly…. and the last thing I want to do at home is sit in front of the computer. So what the heck HAVE I been up to …. ther are one or two interesting tit-bits.<\/p>\n
First have a look at some low-res (cell phone) shots in the gallery. I’ve posted them today. <\/p>\n
I’ve embarked on a shed building project. We needed more dry firewood storage so I made up what I thought was a wee shed. I had a pre-existing base that was 3.2 by 1.6 metres. I put this on skids and added decking (25mm rough sawn pine) then built the frames at 2 m high from 100 by 50. It LOOKED small in the garage but when I rolled it out it was HUGE. I’ve been trying to decide what sort of a roof to put on it. Green colour steel to match the house or … my preference is a sod roof with wild flowers. Suggestions. It will sit along the drive (opposite where it is now).<\/p>\n
We have been doing the odd spot of geocaching with Leigh’s Mom ….. very good fun. All the geodashes have been 100s of kms away up the side of bloody mountains … none of this corn field stuff.<\/p>\n
Sam got his first exams back A+ for chem and A – for Physics. He seems to be getting the hang of University. He is in Queenstown skiing this weekend (the little toad). <\/p>\n
I’ve built a solar bees wax melter … to recycle the bees wax from the hives, and a carry box for my hibachi. All nice. The bees will need a little attention this weekend <\/p>\n
Lots of work travel … at least 2 – three days a week. I’ve been everywhere man in the last 8 weeks. The whole Ministry is in a flap with a very political minister (read micro managing and unprincipled) and a new CE … who we have not seen in 9 months. What a bother. <\/p>\n
Exercise … sigh yes I’ve been riding my bike and getting lots of walking in. . All good news <\/p>\n
Gardening. There is late winter gardening to get to work on, pruning, burning and spraying. <\/p>\n
So there you go, been very flat out and just not all that communicative. Its just starting to look like spring, seen a few early spring lambs and some daffodils. I’ll take a few pic s if I get time …..<\/p>\n
SO I’m not entirely living in a little box under the stairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
