Time passing
Don’t you love computers? They save so much time. I’ve got new anti-virus software, which is great, except it’s having an argument with my mail program, and now it’s refusing to talk to my ISP... so I haven’t had internet access since I got back to Wellington on Sunday, and I spent most of yesterday fiddling around trying to get everything communicating. Gotta love the Paradise support desk – 45 minutes of hold music, and then they don’t listen and practically hang up on you they’re in such a hurry. Also, they still haven’t activated my webspace. I think I’m moving. Anyway all systems go at this moment (now receiving message 99 of 142...)

This place is like Autumn Central. Huge piles of home-grown chestnuts, apples, feijoas, Jerusalem artichokes and hazelnuts. Our freezer and cupboards are overflowing.
That’s one of the things I miss in Wellington – the changes in season are barely noticeable. It could be cold wet and windy, or it could be brilliantly sunny any day of the year. Took the photos of the autumn colours in my mum’s garden, have been delaying posting them since I’m going to move my pics somewhere else, but since these were already uploaded they may as well be on display...
