HI

Sleeping in.....

9.18 am:  finally out of bed!
Stew went down to the local farmers market... came home with nothing! He usually gets his week's worth of avocados, but the season is pretty much over.

So he is eating tomatoes and cream cheese on his toast now.

He did see some massive beetroots ... so we might go down and get some.  I wouldn't mind making some chutney!

Got a job to do ...

ABOVE: This is the little 'overflow' freezer in the garage.  The dogs (we think) are somehow managing to open it.  Last night we found it open and everything had defrosted.  So everything has to be chucked out.

Luckily there is only bread and the odd other thing in it right now.  But still a waste.

I'm going to empty it and sell it on Trademe.  It was a 'bad buy', as it's not really big enough to be of much use.

Might be perfect for someone in a small flat?

Later on, I shall be sorting out my market stall stuff, making sure I'm ready for tomorrow.

ONWARD..

I decided to shorted the dog run.  I want to put our clothesline at the far end, so I built a temporary 'barricade' the other day:

 ABOVE:  I wanted to trial the new length/area for the dogs.  The barricade had to be high enough and un-climbable to keep Coco from getting over it!  THAT was a mission I can tell you.
Coco is an amazing escape artist!

 ABOVE:  We went down to Mitre 10 and bought a ready made fence panel... and Stew installed it just now.  It is set up so we can just slide it out of the way when we want to get through there.

 ABOVE:  The dogs still have plenty of room to run around.  When we can afford it, we'd like to pave the entire dog area, for cleanliness and to stop the little buggers from digging holes!

ABOVE:  I have been working on these two simple table runners today.  I am almost ready to sit down and hand stitch the bindings on.

Those two runners are now finished.  And we have packed the car in readiness for tomorrow's market.

Dinner was beef sausages, coleslaw, boiled eggs and potatoes.  Nice and easy, but yum.

Stew is enjoying watching the rugby, and I'm going to watch a few YouTube videos before bed.

I won't be staying up late tonight, I have market tomorrow.  Early start.  Ikkk.
