Got back from a week in Warkworth on Saturday night. Travelled on Saturday to avoid the shocking traffic on Highway One north of Auckland. It was bad enough most days but Sunday would have been slow! Maybe it will improve when they have finished the tunnel bypass of Orewa.
No one has fallen in love with our house since our absence - in fact the agent said one woman at the most recent open home said it was horrible!
We've shifted the big book case out of the lounge to make the lounge look less English teachery. It was blimmin' hard work.
Looks good actually. We bought a huge urn from the Warehouse for $29 and a bunch of painted twisted twigs to go in it for $9! Next time I go past a twisted willow ...
Today we are going to paint over the very last 70s decoration - the pink painted doors in the laundry and shower room. We're looked for a product to take the gloss off the paint - if we can't find it we'll just have to sand. Not the en of the world when you are retired and there are no other time pressures. If I was still teaching, by now I would be starting the planning for the new school year. Gawd.
Picture is of a glorious puriri forest on the Tawharanui Peninsula.
