During the period our house was being built
the builders often had pieces of 4 x 2 inch
pine timber in their rubbish skip.
As soon as my shed was built
I began salvaging any useable timber,
much the MGW’s disgust,
reassuring her that…
‘it would come in handy one day.’
It took nearly ten years before ‘one day’ arrived.
I used it to create the frame of our dog kennels.

From the Pub Wall
It’s been one of those weeks where I have wanted to cringe.
First the Pub Wall had me second guessing
my grammar and spelling skills.
Lo and behold ‘importent‘ is a word.
However, importentier seems be non-existent.
Verb.
importent. third-person plural present indicative of importer.
third-person plural present subjunctive of importer.
importent – Wiktionary
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/importent
I was just getting over the Pub Wall sign and
this next passage came via GuruShots
I found around 15 errors with a few places
where a coma or full stop may have been appropriate.

Some images from New Zealand
The first two probably fit….
the photographic sense of vanishing more than the last.
Readers can judge. 🙂

acquiesce
Sixteen and eight weeks since they became ours,
and even at that tender age there was…
….no way Candi would acquiesce to Taji.
Until the vet told us they would not
kill or hurt each other,
I feared that I would be digging
grave for a very small dog.

~~~~~
Last week it was decreed that the previous occupier
of this position in our garden must be replaced.
Sunday morning saw us at work moving the old pot
and adding a new one along with a Crepe Myrtle which,
I am told, grows to about a metre by one metre.
I didn’t enquire if it met all the requirements
of plants in our garden.
Tough, withstands heat, cold frost and coastal conditions
are the usual things we look for when purchasing any plants.
In this exposed position on the southern end
of our house it will feel the hot north and cold south winds,
as well as the possibility of frostbite.

Some unexpected moments
from 2018.
I rose with the sparrows and drove 45 minutes
to Point Lonsdale for a sunrise shoot last March.
Expectations were high.
Results were low.
And after being blown around by a chilly breeze
I decided to pack my gear away and head home.
I had walked about a quarter of the way
back along the pier
when this rainbow appeared above the lighthouse.
I had no more than two minutes
to grab a camera and capture some images…
then it was gone as quickly as it appeared.
Unexpectedly.
Also this time last year I had no idea we would
celebrate our Wedding Anniversary with
First Class Dining in a private cabin
aboard the Q Train.
June in Canada and we did not expect
to experience falling snow….even on
the Columbia Icefield.
This time last year we did expect a trip
to Auckland for an engagement party.
However, a wedding date had not been settled upon
and so our September/October trip
back (to New Zealand) for the
wedding of Number 1 Son
to Number 2 Daughter-in-Law
was unexpected but enjoyable.
