I guess Second Fiddle will be happy. He can get up even earlier and attend church to visit god who lives in the little box at the back of the altar. I wonder if god has friends in to stay (little friends) in his tabernacle?
Second will be able to go to church services (I won't say Mass unless he's moonlighting at other denominational establishments) on Saturday as well as Sunday without seeming like a freak. This is a big plus for the dedicated Christian which makes Easter weekend such a biggie for them.
We've got visitors arriving, a couple and a single. They arrive separately on Friday - the couple drive up from Auckland (good luck) and the single flies up from Wellington. They all go away on Tuesday morning.
With luck the weather will be OK. It certainly hasn't been over the last few days with hurricano-type winds battering us up here.
We live in a big and solid house but even so, with some of the gusts I was expecting a tree to come flying through a window. The house shook at times.
This morning I looked out at the vegetation, tree branches, letter boxes, rubbish bins etc that had been uplifted and dumped elsewhere. We have a heavy wooden (macrocarpa) table and chair set on the deck. One of the chairs which is very solid and heavy had been knocked over.
In the kitchen a watercolour painting which is pretty substantial had moved as if we'd had an earthquake.
The Old Girl flew from Auckland up here this morning so thank god (and his little friends) the winds had dropped by 6am and this afternoon the bay is very quiet with no wind at all.

Shit, serious stuff with the chair and the picture! Hope you're okay.
How come all the pots plants all survived but the heavy chair was blown over?
I hope there are men among your guests to help you get that chair up.
And someone with a straight eye for the picture.
I was watching out for mention of your chair blowing over on the news. Nothing yet. I guess they'll get to you eventually. I might ring the newsroom myself.
I thought this might be handy, in your time of need.

Are the pot plants stuck down or something?
Look, to satisfy your curiosity the pots did blow over and I righted them before taking the photograph.
It was all about the chair OK?
Thanks for your concern re the picture but I think I'll leave it crooked. I like it like that.
Ditto for the chair
Are you bored or something?
Why not call around to Robert's place and check out whether he's celebrating black mass at his house but watch out for that skeleton when looking through his window.
You're scared of skeletons.
And cows.
And crooked pictures.
