Autumn

The evenings are getting cooler and darker, an intimation of things to come. We have been making the most of our days getting out and about up to Orewa this weekend.
I had a walk along the beach on my way to get some organic eggs for the week from the Farmers' Market.

Mass up there then home to feed the cat and do a bit of pruning and thinning out of the thicket outside our bedroom and all the rooms along that side of the house. D was rather reluctant to do so but obliged me in the end and it has made a bit of a difference. Hopefull;y they will come from the zoo's browse dept and pick the branches up for the animals. Some of the animals like parsley, rosemary and thyme so will trim our bushes and plants.

Went to a play by Sia Figiel "Where we once belonged." It i s all about growing up in Samoa, with all the double standards and undercurrents brought out into the open. I am rereading the book now.
