Parsely, Sage, Rosemary and Mung Beans.

I don't tend to re-read my postings, but a quick glance at the google ads, did make me wonder about the content. No wonder no one clicks on the ads. Pet Smells, Odour Control, Urine Remover and Californian Smells were all on offer after yesterdays notes.

Mary was able to reassure me that my mis-spellings were not totally off the mark. She said that the clock on the hillside is not a coincidence, as it nestles amongst the Thyme. It used to be the 2nd biggest clock in the world, after Big Ben.

Spook went up to Cardrona today and had a cool dude day of snowboarding. Very busy and sugary snow, but got loads of runs in. I will post his photo of the half pipe tomorrow, where the Burton Snowboarding Champs were going on.

I filled in a job application after work, as part of the coming home process. Spook was questioning the wisdom of such a move as he played in the sunshine!

Finn went off to Sam's house and refused to come home.

Meg came home from work full of the joys of life. As soon as she got to work, Cathy presented her with a piece of chocolate cake that she had kept in the fridge specially for her.

Dunedin is building a new stadium to replace Carisbrook. They are planning a Tattoo in the style of the Edinburgh one, to increase it's reputation as the Edinburgh of the South, and to help promote the new stadium. The only things that make Dunedin like Edinburgh are the street names - Princes St, George St, Murrayfield St (where Carisbrook the rugby stadium is), Costorphine, Musselborough. And there are a lot of Pipers there.

Spring must be here as the sheep have been sheared and the radio is advertising garden products. Wouldn't it be great if Spring came in the middle of February at home?

grateful for:

the simplicity of chopped purple onions in passata - don't ask me why, but I figure we need to get healthy and try and look like we have blossomed in New Zealand, with it's reputation for athleticism and healthy living. So I threw some alfalfa sprouts and mung beans in too. That may have something to do with why Finn refused to come home.
