Tried to download service pack 2 for the computer - after 11 hours we were about two thirds of the way through. Canned it. Will get the cd, if I can figure out how to get the cd. Googled, and I must need better search terms...
Picked several hebe bits on the walk today, and have 'taken cuttings'. Was thinking what my father would say if he could see me taking them - for some reason the answer to his question would have been that the worst thing that could happen is that none of them grow roots. They were free bits of hebe from public land, grown in free sand from the river, and some old pots that I no doubt scored from somewhere. If they grow, it'll be free plants, if they don't, no cost.
Staying in Nelson worked really well. I got some work done, got some resting. Didn't murder my oldest child, who can be Very Very irritating at the moment.
We now own a very large tent for going on summer holidays. Now all we gotta do is use it!
Bloody marvellous to be back on my own computer, the parental one is running windows 98, and not at any great rate of knots. I had to wait for ages to load up internet pages, which meant I only kept up with Stonesoup and Dooce. everything else did not seem worth the wait.
