It is good to be appreciated.

 It is a long time since I last blogged.  I have occasionally taken photos of what is new in the garden but then ran out of day and oomph and not done a post.  Life has been busy.  On top of all the usual day to day things last week we had two loads of firewood delivered which we then had to move and stack.  The man we buy it from is retiring and selling off the last of everything so we wanted to be certain of plenty of wood for the winter.  

On Friday we went out for a delicious lunch with Parkinson's N.Z.  They shout us the meal as volunteers.  We also won one of the raffle prizes and ended up with a pair of Queen size sheets something I was going to buy for when a cousin and his wife visit early next year.  

It has been hot 28 or 29 degrees but we had a very pleasant walk today and then instead of going to someone's house for our pre Christmas get-together we went to a cafe in a park and sat under a verandah looking at the trees which was very pleasant.  We still have one more walk before Christmas.  

Doug went to the car before me and when I arrived there was a parcel waiting.  It was from one of the walkers and contained a delicious gluten free Lemon, coconut, Almond cake and a lovely card.
