| First off was washing and polishing the cars |

| Next, wood chopping |
We have two wood burners in the house so I set both of them and chopped enough wood for back-up in case it turns cold again tonight and tomorrow. Although we installed insulation and a heat pump it is an old house with high ceilings so requires a bit of warming. Besides, it will be nice to have a fire going to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine by.

Next was trimming the lawns. As we don't have much lawn and what there was in the front I covered with a deck, I don't need a lawn mower. I bought a new weed eater/lawn trimmer a few months back hoping that this machine would be trouble free.

Bloody stupid machine. I had to virtually dismantle it to add more line. After all this time you would think the morons who manufacture these would have perfected the line-feed mechanism. Some joker in the marketing department had the gall to name the feeder head 'Easy load'. Failing that they should pay the license or whatever to incorporate the nifty simple feeding device that can be attached. I have to go and buy one of these for about $50. Maybe they are all the same company and this is a rort.
Anyway, jobs outside done now, fresh bread baking in the bread maker, soup cooking on the stove. All is well. When the sun goes over the yardarm (whatever that is) it will be time for a glass of wine. I think it will be the Waipara Hills 2009 Pinot Noir I bought through Blackmarket.
This was one of the best buys of the year. I recommended it in a previous post. If you bought some, well done. If not, its too late as it is all sold out. I bought two dozen.

AJ can go f*ck himnself.
Well done TC, I had a look , but you were right, none left.
Persevere TSB. Keep an eye on the blackmarket site and I'm sure that you will find a wine that suits you and your pocket. I look out for bargains on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. I know what I like and generally know how much the wines usually cost. A simple web search can confirm that to you. I am drinking a Martinborough Pinot Noir at the moment, bought off Blackmarket about 8 months ago for $12.99. I believe its original (retail) price was around $30. The wine is bloody good.

Goodness, my heart goes out to you.
I gave up with just one after a year in our Petone house. We replaced it with gas and have never looked back.

Like one of those sneaky farters TSB was talking about. The ones who pretend it wasn't them.
No my friend, this one comes from the really big one, we are talking mother earth!
