Gave the king-sized Kindling Cracker its first outing – we’re taking a standard-sized one down to Gill & Ben. A 13 year-old school girl came up with this simple idea and has managed to get it manufactured (in Australia) and marketed. I’m guessing that will reduce the many injuries sustained rom axes while splitting firewood.

Calmly and quietly we prepared for our visit to Wellington leaving just before noon, aiming to get to Annemarie’s house in Silverstream well before our restaurant booking at the Silver Spoon for 5:30pm. I drove as far as Dannevirke where we had a coffee and Bangle stretched her legs. Karola drove most of the way in rather bad weather.

Got to Annemarie’s place in time for a short walk with Bangle including part along the Hutt river stopbank. Then off to an absolutely splendid dinner with Annemarie at the Silver Spoon. Every time we’ve been there the food has been outstanding – modest portions but totally delicious.

Later I did some maintenance on Annemarie’s computer – solved an issue with “certificate errors” in her email and updated the operating system to the latest version.
