ABOVE: a native New Zealand Wood Pidgeon or Kereru, I have never seen one in the 'wild' before! It was right beside our house.... it's so neat living near a big native park, we get to see these sorts of birds right in our own yard.This bird is easily as big as a turkey! And soooo very pretty. I took some short videos of the bird too... will try and upload one later on this morning.
After spending all of yesterday at home, we are definitely going out today. Even if it's only for lunch somewhere.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: Oh I hope you can watch these... the Kereru really shows off it's colours in the videos, they are really short videos too.
Stew has just suggested we go to Hamilton for the day.... so that's what we are doing.
ONWARD...
Just got back from Hamilton... far out it was hot down there, like about 31 Deg C. Too hot. We renewed our membership at the Hamilton Workingmen's Club while there, so we can visit the affiliated Clubs wherever we live. We've been members of the Hamilton Club for many, many years ... it was really nice going back there, we had lunch in the Club.. it cost half as much as a 'normal' cafe lunch.
I was so good, I had a small steak with an egg on top and a little side salad, no dressing!
After lunch we checked out the new extended shopping Mall at 'The Hub' in Hamilton... we didn't like it. It has these huge class-house type ceilings which made the whole mall like a bloody hot-house. So darn hot it was awful to be in there. Seriously BAD planning that was on behalf of the architect!
OH, I also got Stew to buy me some more fabric from Spotlight, so I can continue with the 2nd Heart Quilt. Yaaaaa.
End of Day: and I've been sewing this evening... seems to me that I have truly got the 'bug' for sewing! I even dream about freaking quilts and patterns. So weird. nite nite. lol
