Favourite quote

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

cheap top

I got to the shops during the week, found a lovely $7 top at Postie Plus, but now wondering if I should have spent twice as much to get double the thickness 😄


Wife asked me pick up some groceries, and just to prove I don't just drink McDonalds coffee, here's me at a different cafe on the way home from work. 


I thought with winter, I would have more time to build my model and practice with the guitar, but instead I've recently build a weather screen to stop the rain coming onto our deck during westerly winds and also helped wife with her garden. Made some stainless brackets for my 12 volt decking lights and re-configured their locations and what they were highlighting.

Had one of those mornings, when wife sent me out to get some printer paper from The Warehouse, I decided to look around for a new bra while there as my 20 year old beige bra is starting to get holes in the material. The unusual thing about this morning - I didn't stop for a coffee and cake, just visited one shop and went back home.


Getting a bit bored with dressing up 😞
Probably because it's always the same, maybe I just need to pack my tent and head into the bush for a few days, maybe find a clean stream or lake and set up camp. Maybe just a 2 day road trip with wife to somewhere new - actually I don't think there's anywhere "new" too me in this country, but there's places I haven't see for a few decades might be nice to re-visit.  
But for now, it's renovate (this week it's wiring and adding 230v external lights) and dig a new garden bed.
