Hiolidays

Yes, it's holiday time again, and I have 2 weeks off before Term 4 kicks in.  I have had a lot going on in the past few weeks - the Rangiora house has sold at last - after a year - and I've bought a little house here in Invercargill.  I'll be moving around the middle of October and I can't wait to get back into a home of my own - I really don't enjoy renting.  There'll be more space for me and the dogs, and as I'm only moving to the next street, I can still walk to classes and take the dogs on the walkways alongside the river.

Here's some more spring photographs to brighten your day - especially if you're heading towards winter.

 This is the Phalenopsis orchid that I have growing in my kitchen-  usually they require a lot more heat than this, as the room is unheated overnight and during the day in winter when I'm not there.  Not a large flower, but there are 7 of them, and they last well.  The rest of the photos were taken on a foray to nearby Queen's Park yesterday.
