It is blowing a gale, showering heavily off and on, cold and wintery - a marvellous day that I started with early coffee and a reorganisation of my closet - moving summer clothes out and winter clothes in. I have plenty to do and no where to go.
I am content.
It has been a busy few weeks with B&B guests from Australia for a mutual friend's wedding, a visit from a new friend who is taking up the position of manager of the Kaikohe Pioneer Museum, more time looking after my old dog Mally whose toe was amputated not quite a month ago, and lots of organisation to do for the next Northland Region Fire Service newsletter and annual report.
It is also, finally, planting time since there has been some rain. It seems like lots of rain, but it isn't. The soil is still dry a few inches down, but there is moisture gathering and frequent rainbows - what could be better?
What is not better is the new google account stuff. My God there is a lot to organise....what blog, where, what user name, which password, do you have a google account, what google groups do you belong to, which do you want to join, how about sharing calendars? Not to mention whether you Twitter and tweet.
I seem to have sorted it for this moment as I was finally able to access this blog and make a post. Fingers crossed I'll be able to do it again.
I know I started another blog somewhere, that was going to be my homourous writing. It is really rather funny because I have no idea where that blog is or what I've called it and now I've reset my password, I'll probably go to both and they'll be confused as they'll have the same account details. Oh well, such is the price of being over 50 in 2009.
I might prefer to sell lemon grass and cut protea flowers, but I won't give up my day jobs or my creative retreat B&B.
Back to work. I hope I can find you all again next time.
