Sunset


Walking with friends












A birthday meal with a friend went on to a Riverside walk..then a dash to the seaside to see the sun set!

Windy!!!!

It is windy and very gusty today...not enough for a weather warning, but that would be 120kph....we ventured out on foot to town, but we're very glad to be home after lunch.
News reports are in of power cuts due to wind damage in several places on the edges of Whanganui, but we are ok here so far.

I have been busy indoors getting on with the patchwork sewing...next step is to get a cream border around the central strip...out of a rapidly reducing fabric remnant!!
Then, the easy bit, a broader black border to finish the table runner top.

Afternoon out!






Good music from Whisky Mama, and chips with mayo!
Pirate foot tapping and some people dancing...a good time had by all.

Cycling and sewing

A busy few days, out on the bike nearly every day, seeing different groups of friends.
The patchwork table runner progresses...today Pirate rode back from Hunterville with friends who had ridden out.. starting at 6am, far too early for us! I took the patchwork and sewed a little each time I stopped to wait for them to pass.





We are still getting dust, haze, smoke from Australia..the fires still burn...an area as wide as Europe or the USA...words cannot describe it.

An easy start to 2020

A leisurely ride along local bike paths, more keeping up with washing....then more sewing (by hand).


New Year with friends

As it should be!



Some old, some new.
Hope you all have the new year you wish for xx
