Awoke early, a cool start to the day. Got a call at 8:30am, Bruce and Steve had arrived to begin work on repairing the broken end of the ha-ha wooden wall, broken when the Sitka Spruce fell on it during Cycone Gabrielle over a year ago.

Rosie drove me and I did the week’s shopping before taking Bangle for a walk in Tainui Reserve. With Bridget gone I have to take advantage of the times Rosie can drive me and she has a lot of school work on right now so we’ve agreed to do my excursions on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.
