And
a happy new year to you.
I
have to admit that it has been a bit of a relief not to have the compulsion to
write a post for the blog every single day.
It
was a bit odd just going back to work for Tuesday, having Wednesday off and
then going back in for two days. Had me thinking Thursday was Monday.
So
what have we been doing this week?
Well
work obviously, and despite the fact that is has been a bit chilly there is
still no sign of any snow here at Crystal Palace.
Yesterday, Saturday we
donned our wet weather gear, hopped on a bus and went to help a friend load up
their van because they are moving house. Seeing The Man stowing things in the
van took me right back to when him and me were market traders back home in New
Zealand. We had a high top Nissan Safari and it would be crammed to the roof
with our wares, sales tables and couple
of gazebos. The Man would load up the truck on a Friday night in anticipation
of an early start to drive from Fielding where we were living at the time to Wanganui.
We had lots of fun and
made a little ready cash into the bargain. One we were set up I’d leave The Man
in charge and go have e a bit of a wander around the other stalls, sometimes
even buying things to resell. We stocked all sorts of ‘junk’ and shells,
hundred and hundreds of shells. It was good time and we often muse about doing
it again when we get back home.
This morning I got up
just in time to see a beautiful sunrise, a good opportunity to try out the new
camera.

What do you think of the

I’ve spent the afternoon
working on the family story concentrating on my paternal grandparents. Trouble
is it is so easy for me to get side tracked by an interesting snippet or fact
and then go off on a tangent researching and spending even more time on obscure
and not directly related facts.
