Yes he is, Grammaretto. Only 40 mins away - but as we are now holed up nearly 24/7 at my mother-in-law's house I sent his gift via my son who is seeing his sister and her boys today.
We had a little video of him cutting his "Collosseum cake" which was apparently a last minute invention.... and then another where he's "demanding" ice cream in an outrageously ridiculous voice.
Teenage boys are quite something arent they! 
I love that he is kind and gentle - as well as silly! ❤️
Not stupid at all ixion but I don't have a garden and Kumerahou is temperamental, must have a certain kind of soil and wouldn't thrive in a pot or I'd have been growing it already
I've bought some from an online source where they say the appropriate karakia/prayers and gather it from the bush.
Doodle said, "Difficult to keep up with what’s going on if you can’t see properly,"
You never said a truer word. Sometimes I feel very much on the margins of the community. I'm lucky to have a good lady who takes me to the elders group and homecare to buy vegetables for me.
Grammaretto your seagull chick is a baby that only a parent could truly love!
I'm glad you have Mepa to keep an eye on you Kaimoana she sounds lovely 😍
As do the purple slippers.
Sorry NotSpag that life for DMiL continues to be difficult and that you are so weary.
Amazing that she can chat with her old friend 🧡.
I'm being really lazy today and enjoying doing nothing apart from watching an interesting film documentary, recommended by DS3, called Shifty about Britain in the late 20th century. It's on iplayer.
This afternoon there are some events I should go to. A public consultation at the Town Hall about the future of the building. I get déja vu at these things. I'm sure I have made all the comments I can. The council will do what they want in the end, to save money.
Cynic? Moi?
There's a book launch tonight at the library. A local woman author who says she wrote the thriller? about my house. I can't imagine what it will be like. Will I be expected to buy a copy!
The concert last night was really good. The only thing spoiling it a bit for me was a huge head in front of me and that my df who sings in one of the four choirs was hidden behind the piano.
My seagull chick is fairly growing up so I presume the scary parents are feeding it. It's moved along to underneath a rose.
A few mundane lines from Fortress Finn.
Cold but sunny. 
Don't mind the former if we have the latter
I have several orders for Marae Slippers, all of them in purple ! 
.
When I'm just knitting, as a hobby/pastime, with no one in mind, it's a leisurely job but how different when you know someone is waiting 
We are past the Shortest Day now and even if the temperatures can (and will) get much lower over the next two months, psychologically, it feels as if Spring is coming nearer every day.
I've told you about Mepa, my lovely homecare lady.
Last Friday was a public holiday for the Matariki celebrations and the agency said they would send someone Thursday instead, to change my bed.
It didn't happen.
So I didn't expect Mepa to come on Friday but she did and it coincided with me being in the shower so I didn't hear the bell. She could see from the gardeen I wasn't in my chair and at the french windows were open, I wasn't out either.
She was so worried about me she came back at 6pm, to make sure I was all right. She's such a love.
And I am a lucky wumman.
Ofcourse Doodle. So sad when the birthdays come round. It would have been DH big birthday next month. I have decided to invite a few friends round plus any of the family who can make it.
This long day, still quite light. I went to a summer fair and a matinée at the theatre. The fair was lovely, the play a bit hard for me to understand. It was Martin Luther King's last day .
While I was away, a kind friend put up a support for my little oak tree which the pesky deer keep nibbling. It looks as though it's in prison but I tell it it's for your own good 😅😂
I hope you're singing the Happy Wanderer as you stride, Doodle
I cannot imagine a nicer day than pottery and pals Grammaretto
The Saga of Kumerahou has ended with my buying it online after all. The young lady who was going to bring me some did so but a tiny bottle which yielded lesws than 2 glasses. To be effective, I need that every day for 2-3 weeks.
I realised I was probably being unfair to expect anyone to provide what I could buy if desperate - so I squandered part of my 'winter heating supplement' on it.
Doodle I do hope your wrists are feeling less painful. I know wrists are slow to heal because of all the little bones.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made, as the psalmist said.
