Lockdown 17/18

….wup!….missed a day….

…my official line of excuse runs – was to attempting to work on stressful holiday project in limited space, in middle of night, whilst endeavouring not to wake up Dee/whole fucking neighbourhood with power tool buzz/loud swearing, then ran out of creative patience so watched shows online instead of blogging….

….we live in tense times…

….I recommend resorting to music….

…wether it be in the green room whilst you’re supposed to be helping with side chores to the stressful holiday project….

…or wether you get inspired by Grace Of Spades on mixcloud….(check her out she has excellent taste in fine soulful tunes)….and feel the need to treat Dee to a birthday set to accompany her morning exercises…live and direct no headphones selecting from the library….(after shifting 300 tonnes of stressful holiday project so you can access the decks)….

….ah…music…the proper pathway to abandoning a stressful holiday project….

…stressful holiday project?….

…what stressful holiday project?….

Shed

….built a wood shed….

…it can also be used as a drinking shed…

…or…

…a phone booth/orangery….(Italian sandals optional)….

…but first and foremost it’s a woodshed.

Can You Spot

…my good friend Dee in this newly decorated room…. you’ll have to look hard, she’s well camouflaged…..

…mmmm…cross stitch boat….…did you see her?

Autumnal

…toadstool…

…toadstool…

…toadstool….

…toadstool…(blue)….

…mmm…

…nature.

Aramoana Sunset

…the sun going down behind Mt. Cargill…

…and Dee standing in it…

…listening to the young mullet (we think) jumping to catch bugs….

….like standing in the rain without getting wet…

…then a royal spoon bill flew low in line with the other side of the inlet all lit golden like a painting on silk….

…shit.

HarkWhatLightThruYonderWindow

…it’s not the sun…

 

…it’s the lamp by which I work when visiting my good friend Dee’s new, but badly lit, front room…

…mmmm, badly lit…..

Hell Yeah I Will Be Your Valentine

 

 

…especially now that you’ve won my furry heart with this hand made card….

 

…and drawn in sauce on my chopping board…

 

 

 

…and given me this cool new top for my sauce bottle…

 

 

…if only valentines weren’t anonymous and I could figure out who you were…

…(although I’m fairly sure you’re my good friend Dee).

Two Photos Two Salads Two Cherries

…I hate to be a blogger who blogs about food….

…but…

…and…

 

…we live like Kings!…

…healthy Kings!…

….(Kings sans buckets).
