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'.

Cancer update

 I was back to the doctor this week about my cancer spot. He cut out what he could see and now I have some big, black stitches sticking out of my head behind my ear!

Apparently, it's not an aggressive type of cancer, so deciding what else to do, if necessary, is not something I need to rush.

We decided to just do nothing else right now and keep an eye on it.

It may not be very exciting, but it's more than I care to have to deal with.
