Too much excitement

 Our days are usually very quiet and, frankly rather dull. But I don't mind at all, really. Some days require me to venture outside--to the doctor's office mostly.

Now and then, and more often lately, we have groceries delivered and we have a cleaner that comes once a week. Other than that, our house is quiet--except for the shouting from one room to another about dinner or some obscure fact one of us has come across.

But today....wow, what a day!

I had to go for a blood test at the doctor's, the cleaner came, we had wood for the heater delivered and groceries were delivered. All in one day.

This is way too much excitement for an old lady with a bad heart!

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.
