She does things a bit differently from Louise - and so it is such a surprise to come home and see what she has done. I know you will all be thrilled to hear that this week I came home to find a pile of items from the pantry and a note: "Now Gwen, a bit of homework for you. All these items are out of date. Go through them and see if there's any you want to keep." Needless to say I was shamed in to chucking them all out!

New Brooms sweep clean
After the retirement of Louise, my cleaning lady of 16 years, we endured a year of no cleaning lady. It meant that having people round to dinner was very difficult as it was masses of cleaning AND all the cooking. While visiting Anne in hospital last year I was bemoaning our loss of Louise, and Heather who is in our book club said "Pick Me". And so from this year we have Heather Cochrane as our cleaner.

On yer bike.
So Duncan's gone away and I have to do the birdbangers morning and night. So following his lead I decided to do it on my trusty (well, rusty) stead.
Always one for multitasking it also allows me to train for any biking I might do for the Otago Rail Trail. It has certainly taught me to look ahead for the best path through the corrugations, and how to get down to low gear for the thick grass bits. Its about 1.5km - 2 at the most, morning and night. But today I got on my bike and felt the dreaded sore inner bum cheeks. Just excuse me now while I go and hunt out my padded shorts!
