7 am and sun rise is still 30 minutes away.
This morning (aka 4.30 am) with the dogs sleeping on me, I decided move to the lounge and test my sleeping bag. The label says I should be good down to zero, but the lounge is still about 10 degrees and outside on the front deck it's not much colder.
Anyway back to a 7 am wake up, dressed and out the door by 7.20 for a coffee
After coffee, I head out to Mitre 10 hardware for a canister of camp stove gas. Kids laugh every time I buy something from an overseas web site, but my little camp stove arrived 2 weeks early, with everything it promised and once home with my gas, it tested beautifully - reckon apart from some serious hiking clothes, I should be good for hiking up to the snow line by November when the weather warms up a bit.
Before getting home, I visited Kmart, hoping to find some nice fashionable, aka trendy tights, looks like I was too late but somewhere here should be a neoprene one piece swimsuit (probably only 1 mm) but no sign of any and checking just now, their online store has also run out. Bugger, I would have loved a super tight neoprene one piece, hopefully they will re-stock soon.
Home again.
Wife's just woken up and I'm about to make her morning coffee, that's her in the background attempting to pat the dog (he's so fast, it would be easier to pat a bird as it passes by).
Renovations have stopped, builders have moved on to another job and have been away so long, that the bags of cement they left here for the next stage have nearly turned into concrete paving slabs.
I'm hoping to get to the rock climbing venue soon, I want to learn single rope ascending, would love to go in girl mode and wear tights as they are flexible and comfortable, but I think the harness strapped around the top of my legs might cause an issue 😄

Well welcome back Rachel that didn't take long. My partner has gone away for a few days so Anneke is out to play. Wednesday was an afternoon out and I went up to Silverdale Mall. did some shopping in Farmers for face cleansers and false nails. Then into Number one shoes for some nice heels. Then I came back and had a walk around Milford mall for a while and then home. What a fun day. All the people I spoke to were really nice. So out again on Friday and probably Saturday too. Anneke is having a great time.
