It's all in the details.



I don't usually pay attention to the writing on cleaning products,
but this one sat at eye level in the toilet and caught my attention.

A bit of the Atlantic in the middle of the Pacific!

The Last Samurai leftovers


 This is left over from the Tom Cruise movie 'The Last Samurai'.  Some of it was filmed outside a little town called Uruti--in the middle of nowhere in northern Taranaki. 

We don't drive that way often, but when we do, I wonder why they left just this one bit of the movie set.

How long will it take?

We had some awful winds howling outside last night.
At one point, I heard our internet dish hit the roof and fall to the ground.

Amazingly enough, Hubby and I hooked up our phones to the desktop
computers and we continued online like nothing had happened!

At times like this, I think back to my 'younger' days and how shocked and surprised I would be back then to see such things immediately resolved instead of having to do without until someone 'who knew what they were doing' could do show up to it for us. Sometimes, it was weeks before we could get back to 'normal'.

This episode took just a few hours from the end of the wind storm to 'fixed'.
