WhooOOOP My cameras back!

Lego kindly chewed the camera cord and i didnt notice so proceeded to plug it into my computer only to fry the connection to the circuit board. Golden. After a month of fear of getting a bill for the repairs... turns out Canon diagnosed it was their fault the circuit board had crapped out so fixed it all for free. Excellent!

But anyway.... thanks again lego for being so awesome. Lucky you have flannels for ears which make you look relatively cute and sort of ease the pain you cause with your diggy pours, plant wrecking antics and camera destroying chewing.

Soooo... on with the photos i have been dying to upload! :)

Still love my/Grans bike..

Biked to Sarah & Brents for dinner and then a nice casual bike ride through the Waterloo tunnel on our way home.. nothing major, but admittedly was a while ago in dress wearing weather.

Oh Hello Holes... i wonder when you might get fixed??

Locked Lego In

Well we thought we had locked lego in. Gaz built these great big gates to keep her home during the day...

Cant go over it, cant go through it, cant go around it... gotta go under it!
Shes a digging machine... needed some concrete under it to stop her little diggy paws!
But anyway. OooO ahhh, good gates Gaz!

New pooer

Had a few leakages from the old school toliet. Not ideal. So we busted a new one in. Actually screw that, we weren't up for it ourselves so we got a plumber in to do the lovely job. Couldn't resist but to adorn the old systern remnaints on the wall with a toilet sign. :)

Old Toilet

New Toilet

Put a new hat on our shed

A while back now.. but still worth a story.
Gaz and I spent the weekend repairing our little shed. Well, we had already painted it a few posts back... but the old roof didnt keep much water out due to a major rust infection. Just so happened that Gaz found some free clear roofing so we slapped it on. Extended the roof line a tad so i can eventually have a dry firewood stash or a potting bench under cover.




And when i say 'we' what i really mean is i sat on a deck chair in the sun and Gaz did a really good job!

Thank you lego.

Dont get me wrong....

I love gardening. So much so i was really really proud of my three native purchases yesterday night from a cute wee retired man in Petone who grows seeds he finds on his NZ bush adventures a a hobby. I was extemely excited about planting them somewhere special in the back yard, but wanted to make a good decision about their permanent location so i thought i would procrastinate a night until i was sure on where to put them.

What i don't like is FORCED gardening. Arriving home on a friday night ready to open a bottle of wine and chill out. Walking out the back door... and hello.... all 3 of my brand new favorite trees dug out of their pots, chewed to death and lying around the section with no earth around their poor little roots, just horribly left to die in the sun. Rude!

I was not impressed. I was a very grumpy person. And that puppy that decided it was such good amusement for her day at home to mess with my plants, she heard the end of it. I started talking politely to her as she sat and stared at me like i was crazy. The conversion became quite heated between us, because the more i told her about how she had ruined my week and that i didnt love her anymore, she barked at me like she had an excuse for every part of it. She knew she was in trouble... be still she felt she had to have the last word.

So silent treatment for the entire night it was. She did not like it. So i hope shes learnt not to get between me and my plants... and i have learnt... no procrastinating with planting new plants. Make a decision and run with it. ahhh shes more painful than a child!
