Well, I seed the spade, I saw the rake, then I shovelled off with my hoe.
The spade is my favourite of the many gardening items I’ve gathered over the years. My partner sourced it from Holland and gave it to me as a gift - it had a 100-year warranty (now about 90 years to go)!
Garden tools back from holidays.
Take the trades entrance to Lyttelton supermarket and you can’t miss it - the yellow submarine!
I’ve often wondered why churches, with all their property don’t do this. I asked a priest in my parents’ community a couple of years ago and he said, “Yes, but how do you ensure people don’t come in and steal the food?”
On another walkabout and I notice someone in Devonport is growing sunflowers already. I am impressed.

It’s good to know you know I have the resilience and ingenuity to escape my kidnappers by my own efforts.
Devonport village offers a salutary lesson about letting your fig tree get too big. This one comes with a plaque attesting it’s considerably older than any human alive on the planet today.
Logs and circuses - Te Whanganui a Tara.
Lack of clear instructions is the kid’s fault. He sold Mogwai without permission from the old man.
Almost at Wellington airport. If you have a spare couple of hours it’s an entrancing walk from Thorndon. Proceeds saved on the bus fare will go towards chocolate.
Have a cup cake, then drink, eat and play at the Turbo Bar, Kilbirnie.

Everyone’s telling me it’s time to go home …
Could be - if the economy remains subdued it might require him to find a sacrificial lamb like Bolger did to win re-election in the 90s.
It’s a stormy day in Te Wanganui a Tara. Flagpoles are straining, people are getting blown over and flights are being cancelled and diverted. I just saw the wrapping on Turnbull House rip away and the hole’s already getting bigger. But the ferries are still sailing!
I’ve joined a new trapping group working on the Port Hills. Maybe I’ll be able to stop the weasel who crossed my path a few weeks ago.
I’ve been working my way through the different Desperate Housewives shows. I think I like the Beverley Hills one the best.
Upon reflection and having listened to it another hundred times I have decided I don't like Africa by Toto much, in fact I don't like it at all!
In my last neighbourhood, we’d regularly lose the delivery service for several months, it would start again then stop.

In my new patch, some people write a local newsletter and deliver it every month. Maybe 300-400 households. Maybe that’s the future.
I’ve learned the meaning of the place name, Rongotai. Apparently it means the sound you can hear when motorbikes and mopeds are prohibited.
