The snow is creeping further down the mountain. It was advised that one should take ones snow-chains if crossing the Crown Range today. These photos were taken just before 8am this morning.
I went to the library and settled in for a pleasant day on the laptop, when I got a call from Mary to go and polish up a Show Home that is being judged for an award tomorrow. I was supposed to take 2hrs, but in a state of paranoia, I took 3hrs. It was about 380sq metres floor space. That was a lot of polishing. But it does take my work committment closer to the 10hrs that Spook does each day. 5 hours to go. I have to go to my usual haunt tomorrow, but it is only expected to take me 4hrs max. That leaves me 2 days to find 1hr of work. (This is paid work - it does not go unoticed that I make the tea, the piece, do the shopping, light the fire and maintain a semblance of order. Not yesterday, right enough, but most days). And Finn did make the tea tonight - cheesy beans on toast for him and Meg and he cooked some meat in a frying pan for his Dad. I did the roast potatoes and parsnips. Finn didn't go to training after school today as he wasn't feeling well. That probably blows his chance of playing for the All Blacks. There is no such thing as not well.
I am grateful for Finns interest in making the tea - may he increase his repertoire quite quickly.
I am grateful that Meg wants to make it tomorrow.
I am grateful for Cadbury's chocolate.
