So, What Have We Been Doing?

There's a nasty rumour that winter is coming - like, anyday now. So, we're lining-out and insulating a room in the end of the workshop to retreat into on cold days.

Once that's done, and a heater is installed, i'll see you in September.

Success At Last!!

Yay! It finally did it - and it was SO not my fault! 5 days I've been trying to upload pics. (I didn't even have to smack the computer, though i did threaten it with time out).
NEway:-


Here's some pukekos, just for Charlie. I snuck up on them and they don't look at all like Moas.


Here's some progress - Michael & Benji have been working hard, laying out the paths for the english village.

Now we'll see how that goes - if it doesn't work the computer's going through the window!

cheers

Having troubles . . .

Mr Hunt is having terrible troubles downloading photos. We are just checking if the problem is him having no idea, or the blog . . .

OK - So it Won't Upload Pics.

Let's see if this works. Here's a joke - i like a joke.

King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash. His country had beenat war with the Hittites for years. But he did have the Star of theEuphrates, the most valuable diamond at the time. So he decided to takeit to Croesus the pawnbroker. When he asked for a loan, Croesus said,“I’ll give you 100,000 dinars.” The king quickly objected, “But I paid amillion dinars for it. Don’t you know who I am? I’m King Ozymandias!”Croesus was unimpressed. He replied, “When you wish to pawn a star, it makes no difference who you are.”

Now, we'll see.

And - The ones i missed

This was my Uncle Bill's shop on Buller Road. He closed it down when he retired because, "The town doesn't need four grocers".


The Christmas tree - a big old tree in the hospital grounds. They put lights on it every year, with a helicopter, and claim that it is NZ's biggest - not sure if it really is, but that's Reefton's story anyway.


I think that's all - hope so. (I'm getting practiced at uploading pics neway).

cheers
