DaffysDiary: May 2011
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Rain, rain, go away. Winter is definitely here. I'm listening to the sound of rain hosing down outside, which it has been doing all weekend. Tonight we have the addition of thunder and lightning just for a bit of variety. Being out of cellphone range we were unable to report his dangerous driving, but I would hate to have been coming the other way, and was very pleased to finally get past him. Speaking of skylines - we didn't leave until later coming back on this trip and were treat...

DaffysDiary: Tokyo, Christchurch and all
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011/03/tokyo-christchurch-and-all.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Tokyo, Christchurch and all. Middle son is back in Tokyo and keeping an eye on news on the radioactivity front. To him and his friends the government warning that tap water is unsafe for young babies translates into 'no one is drinking the tap water'. Luckily he has supplies of bottled water to use instead. Here's hoping that is as bad as the situation gets. Hours of sewing and only two braid lengths done. No wonder I need more days in my weekend! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

DaffysDiary: June 2011
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Denniston, Karamea and Nelson travels. Had a wonderful trip up the coast to Denniston to do the new mine tour a few weekends ago. Seeing the Denniston incline and realising that for a time the only way up or down for people, their belongings, and the coal was over the edge and down that long drop was an amazing experience in itself. I am now re-reading Jenny Patrick's. And have a new appreciation for the setting and atmosphere of the book. Imagine dropping off this edge! As we wer...

DaffysDiary: Back to the Seventies
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011/07/back-to-seventies.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. Back to the Seventies. Not a lot happening as winter closes in. Shorter days, colder nights and not much motivation to do anything during the cold evenings after work. Work itself has a more frantic air as the end of the financial year approaches, but at last that is over except for the piles of books everywhere waiting to be placed on the library system. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Quiltville's Quips and Snips! To Montenegro by Sea! Back to the Seventies. Librarian for ov...

DaffysDiary: Winter is in the air
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011/04/winter-is-in-air.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Winter is in the air. This blogger has been missing in action as the time has flown by. Two weekends ago I dragged my growing pile of fabric scraps to the local high school for a quilting day. The weather outside wasn't wonderful but inside we were fortified by yummy, warm, just-baked biscuits filled with chunks of chocolate. There went the benefits of walking all week, but they were just too good to resist. Oh well, add it to the rich tapestry of life's experiences! Both provide...

http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2011/04/lets-hear-it-for-long-weekends.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. Let's hear it for long weekends. If only they weren't usually so wet! One of life's eternal questions. Why is it always so wet on weekends and the sun shines when you have to go back to the salt mines? Jean returned from Brisbane where the weather sounded little better, bearing gifts of t-shirts, opal ear-rings and duty free Baileys. Not much else to do but read, so how about this for a list:. Joanna Trollope. A story of evolving family relationships as the mother of three son...

DaffysDiary: December 2010
http://daffys-diary.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. Surely it was only a short time ago that we were welcoming in 2010. '. Say the years roll by faster the older you get and I guess '. Must be right. Christmas tree, decorations and wallhangings are all about to come down again, Christmas visitors have all gone home. Housework and tidying Christmas away awaits, but after that I have a large stack of books, a beanbag, and a sunny conservatory planned to while away the first day of the New Year. A wish for 2011. These are a few I c...
