STEW'S LAST WEEK AT HOME

 

Stew goes back to work next Monday.  I will actually miss him ... strange eh?  lol

But he'll only be back at work 6 weeks before his knee operation, then he'll be home for a few more weeks.

Until his operation, I'll get him to do a few more jobs around here while he can.

ABOVE: One of those jobs got done... hanging that buoy up.  It's one that came from my parents beach house in Whitianga.  I treasure it.  It looks so lovely there too.  It makes me happy looking at it. 

I  have a real hankering to visit Whitianga again, it's been a long time since we went up there.

Maybe in the next few weeks we can.

10.20 am, and I've been up and got all the housework done, and a few odd jobs too.

I DO 'work' and do jobs around here, it's certainly not all left up to Stew.

Though, he will be going up the ladder today and putting a couple of things up in the attic, I simply cannot do that.  I get vertigo and nearly fall off ladders.

In fact, I've had a few nasty falls from ladders in the past, so I simply don't do it now.

ABOVE: Who remembers THAT ONE, from when I fell off a ladder in our Auckland home?  That is why I don't do ladders!

Moving on, Stew has done his exercise routine, here and in the gym, and is now in the shower.

I'm thinking of persuading him to take us out to a beach again later on.  
  

ABOVE:  It didn't take long to figure out where to put the wonky house... we are rapidly running out of places for anything else!

Shame that, but then, there really is a lot in our gardens already.

ABOVE: It is a much more bearable day today, overcast with rain threatening.  Maybe it will rain later on, that would be lovely.

ABOVE: And there it is, up and waiting for a bird to make it home.  Might happen, might not either.  I've never had a bird actually roost in one of my birdhouses.

I put my first hydrangea cutting in a pot just now, it had grown a good lot of shoots while in a glass of water.  I must go around soon and get more cuttings from plants in our village, there's some really spectacular ones worth cultivating.
