So, against my better judgement, I ordered three large, heavily discounted raised garden beds with arches from an outlet store online. "They" were delivered today. This is a picture of what arrived 🙃

I promised someone (I think perhaps you @katydidnz.bsky.social) lemons but not 100% sure who it was! Anyway, if we're mutuals and you're in Kāpiti and would like some, hit me up!

Brassicas are looking good. Last year my brussels sprouts didn't get any bigger than peas, so this is progress!

Both my cats are in this picture - Pingzy and Saffy, 8yr old sisters ❤️
A silver tabby cat sitting behind a wooden chair, on a colourful patterned rug. There's a long-ish box lying sideways on the floor in front of her, and just peeping out of the box opening is another, creamy coloured cat.

Today's bake. Made a rye loaf and put some corned beef on the shopping list after all that talk of reubens!
An oval shaped loaf of rye bread with a lovely crunchy crust, cooling on a rack on the bench. To the right on the same rack are eight blueberry and banana muffins also cooling.

Look at this beauty on the TradeMe
A beautiful teapot. The pot is a pale pink, 6-tiered skirt. The top is a woman's torso in the top of the pink dress. It's off-the-shoulder. She had blond hair and a matching pink hat on a jaunty angle

Pingzy and Saffy the day they arrived with me 🥰
Two little tabby british shorthair youngsters. They're in a box, that's under a bed. Their eyes are very big and they're huddling together for comfort.

Done. Short and sweet. With thanks to others who laid the information out so clearly.

I braved the cabbage moth and put these in a while ago (under netting). Think I'll have to learn how to make sauerkraut!

Lunch for the week ahead
Seven golden, delicious-looking savoury (cheese, bacon, corn and onion) muffins in a circle on a round cooling rack.

They look fantastic. I've been baking today too. An overnight no-knead loaf, and first attempt at baguettes that are more ficelle-like.
A lovely brown crusty loaf of white bread, and two puny-looking baguettes!

They smell good!
Fifteen golden anzac biscuits sitting on baking paper on oven trays, on the oven top. They're just out of the oven and they smell delicious.

She loves it under the heated laundry rack. Such a little heat-hog 🥰

Darling Pingzy and Saffy
Two British short hair tabbies sitting behind the back cushions of a red couch. Their eyes are very big and their facial expressions are serious. They're gorgeous.
