Hibernation
It’s been cold and wet and miserable and the heat pump is still broken. Lots of late mornings and early nights with extra hot water bottles and fingers crossed the heat pump will finally be replaced tomorrow. Just in time for me to head back to Christchurch on 18th and brave the cold couch and no insulation of mums place. At least Christchurch has a bit of winter sun and places to escape to.
I have pretty much been hibernating and have got little done. Walks in the bush have been curtailed with the wet wet wet. Garden is languishing due to lack of interest on my part and way too wet to even think of attending to it. Leeks I planted back in January are still the size of my thumb. I think I need a major soil overhaul before starting any new planting so instead I just look at it and sigh and figure October is a good month to start again. Then a hot water bottle and a book gets all my attention.

Sure wish we could share some of the heat here. Index well over 100 with air temps in the 90’s.
Give Mum my love should she remember me. I came across pictures she sent a few years back.
Send hugs and love.
