Finally, my shelf is done, and workspace reconfigured...

So... Overnight, we developed a pond across the road.

This commute last week was a bit more auspicious.

My indirect commute to my home office (via the port hills) was moist and the views murky... but it feels good to blow the stink off of a morning.

Pretty stunning late autumn outlook over the Canterbury Plains this morning... (with a Southerly front due to blow in tonight, so enjoying it while we can!)

It's a dim view across the Cant'y plains today...

Another view across the Canterbury Plain from higher up the road (a couple days prior)...

View over the plains from a recent ride up a hill (just before the current rainy patch hit over the weekend).

Today's view out across the (usually) magnificent Canterbury plain...

A fine morning over Canterbury plains...

Today we put some time into crafting our "lizardarium"... Some sunny old roofing tiles arranged to provide hiding spaces for skinks, with a pile of earth behind to provide warmth...

And after a bike ride up a hill with my boy I can afford to tuck into a couple...

Thanks to Carlos Cordero for the inspiration for these torrejas (banana fritters) with lime juice and cinnamon sugar. Yu-um!

Hah, forgot I'd made a video, which I attached to the last post by accident. Here're some pics...

Some bhaji pics

And my wife made her first ever batch of focaccia bread. Success, big time!

And, I suspect, quite nutrish.

Turns out this Ethiopian lentil stew is delish.

Latest sourdough batch. Nice and crusty, just how I like it.

My wife's been industrious. Enjoying some mixed fruit "lockdown pie" with my morning cuppa...
