Tuesday is generally the day for me to buy groceries and do
any shopping that needs to be done.
Today I went in search of a garden kneeler but was unable to find one
that didn’t feel like it would tip over if I used it to help me get up off the
ground. I think I will be donating the
ground-level garden-beds to son to care for, as I don’t fancy crawling over the
lawn to find something to pull myself up with!

| A WARNING SIGN AT WAIPATIKI BEACH, HAWKES BAY |
There seemed to be an inordinate amount of traffic on the road, the sort of volume that used to occur around Christmas or on a Friday prior to a long weekend. So it was no surprise to come upon a recent accident, where a driver had obviously tried his luck when coming out of a side street and had ended up collecting another car.

FISHING LIMITS SIGN FOR AOTEA HARBOUR, KAWHIA
I went to a new (to me) supermarket this time, intrigued to
see what they stocked as it can vary widely between stores, even between those in the
same group.
This one seemed to stock a lot of gourmet type foods, so
perhaps their customer base is more up-market than the normal stores I visit!
| THE ENTRANCE SIGN TO A REPLICA MAORI VILLAGE, KERIKERI |
The weather now is so different to what we had
yesterday. Today is overcast and it has
tried to rain a couple of times.
We gave Mayo the Rat a proper burial last night, after
grand-daughter returned from school. She
picked some white flowers to place on his grave (in the lawn) as he was a white
rat. Very appropriate, I thought.
| AN INFORMATION SIGN AT WAIPAPA POINT, SOUTHLAND |
No post tomorrow as I have a distance to drive to attend a
funeral – and I think I have written enough depressing stuff the last few days
anyway.
Take care,
