Spring came roaring in like a lion and as well as bringing us all the beautiful colours and flowers of spring it has thrown a good variety of weather at us us. We've had rain, hail and even some snow on our local mountain. And surface flooding on some of the streets.
I've been to a day retreat where it was warm enough to sit out on the deck for morning and afternoon tea.
I've worked in the shop on a couple of days when it was so cold and windy there were very few people out braving it and no customers.
I cooked for Friday Light one night and hope it stuck to their ribs. It was another bitterly cold evening and I was pleased to get home and hunker down in front of the telly.
And we've been to a hardware shop shopping for stuff for the bathroom. And no it wasn't exciting - it was new toilet seat. What I'd really like is a whole new bathroom but I don't see that happening any time soon. Oh well...
And that has been my week. Not very exciting but life is like that and I'm happy for the calm times.

And now here is Tuesday 4
Welcome to Tuesday 4 in memory of our friend Toni Taddeo..
Most people love to read. It opens other world's to us. Autumn weather is often conducive to reading as weather can be chillier and rainy. Cozying up with a book can be a lovely way to spend some time.
How do you relax in the evening after dinner?
Generally we settle down and watch telly, but if there's sport on that I'm not interested in I read.
Do you read in bed? What kind of books do you read?
Yes, I read in bed, first my bible and then whatever book I happen to be reading at the moment. It helps me sleep - usually. My taste is pretty eclectic but I don't like psychological thrillers.
Do you have a list of books you look forward to reading?
No, but I have authors I enjoy and I look out for them.
What is the best book you've ever read and why? Or.. how about the worst book you feel you wasted time reading?
Apart from the bible? Hmm. I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings about ten years before it got a cult following and was made into movies. I can't think of any books I particularly wasted time reading, oh hang on, what about Crime and Punishment. That was pretty awful, it took me about 10 years to read. But it wasn't really time wasted as it put me to sleep it was so boring 😕 and I only read it when there was nothing else on hand.
- That's it for this week,
