JUST A THIS 'N' THAT POST

I forgot to tell you what I found out about my new BEE CARD yesterday.

The lady behind the counter was so lovely!  She informed me that with my BEE CARD I can travel on ANY public transport, be that bus or train, ANYWHERE in the Waikato, and quite a few other towns and cities too!

So, if I wanted to, I could get on the train and take a day trip up to Auckland and back.

I can take a bus to Raglan, Te Aroha, Matamata, Cambridge... you name it. As long as it's in the Waikato area.

AND if I want to, when I'm in Auckland, I can get an AT HOP Card and travel on their public transport for free too.  So the ferry's would be free, the trains and buses.  How amazing is that?

Literally anywhere in New Zealand, as long as I get the appropriate CARD... I can travel for free.

I'm liking this getting older shit! 

I am out of sync with my walks.  Should I go for another one today, after doing one yesterday?

Not sure.  Perhaps the weather will dictate what I do. It's supposed to just be cloudy today, so would be perfect for walking right?

ABOVE:  I ruled up my new 'ironing board'....

ABOVE: Then I drilled holes in it for ventilation.

Today at some point I will put a woollen blanket over it and staple that on, then make a removable cotton cover for it.

It's gunna be magic to use!

ABOVE: Well I did it.  I went for me walk around the lake.

The blue sky is deceiving, it was very overcast and cool.   Perfect for me.

ABOVE:  So many of the birds were sleeping today, all tucked up under their wings keeping warm.

ABOVE:  I've been watching work on this intersection for a few weeks now.  I thought they were putting a roundabout in, but nope.  It almost looks like they are making it one way... but that would be a daft idea.

I suppose I'll know what's the haps eventually!

ABOVE:  I love this mish mash of trees and branches!  You can find beauty wherever you look, if you look hard enough.

ABOVE:  Not a bad time today, said she who wasn't bothered about her times!  lol

But I wasn't pushing myself, just doing my thing. 😂😊

I'm expecting Lacy over soon for a quick visit, so I better get off here and make sure the door is unlocked.

1.51 pm:   Well Lacy has been and gone, like the whirlwind she is.  In and out in the blink of an eye.  I love her for being such a lovely daughter and taking the time to check on me.

Like Bex, always there for me.  

Talking of Bex.  She's got an ultrasound this afternoon, as Steve can't attend with her, she's taking me instead.   OMG... I'm going to see the newest  Grandbaby today!  I'm soooo excited.

ABOVE: I now have the woollen blanket stapled onto the ironing board.  Next is to make a removable cotton cover.  ONWARD...

Late afternoon update. 

All is good with Bex and Baby.  She had placenta previa earlier on in the pregnancy, but the placenta has now moved up a bit, meaning she won't need a C-section.

I've started a new sewing project.

I've just finished sewing a phone pocket on all my walking leggings.

Stew just arrived home and now... we both get to relax for the remainder of the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
