Drought breaker

Now don't give up on me ....It's been a dramatic month ...First my computer died , followed shortly after by my dear old mother .A lovely woman ,but 99yrs old and quite ready to go .So I have been up to Auckland and Katikati for a beautiful funeral .R.I.P.
The positive side of any death is to remind one of ones mortality ,and never to waste a day ,so I try not to .
    The computer is another matter ,us oldies like to use them but we customize them for our own needs and when the gremlins change things about ,we are thrown .So at the moment I am trying to find my way around a new "box' and set it all up again ,quite a challenge for me ,I need a 12yr old to arrive and help me ,but I'll make it .
         On the home front things couldn't be better ,we had 5-6 weeks of VERY hot weather ,it was beautiful ,I spent a lot of time watering the trees but now they are looking great .It finally rained hard 29[pts] over the last couple of days so we are now ready to coast into autumn .I don't think that I have conquired photos yet .

         All's well on the family front ...Young Eulalia is walking now .  Cheers   Bob

OK ....We start again .....I packed a hissy-fit with blog spot back in Nov because they changed all the format on the site and it was taking too long to download .Now I'm not an impatient guy ,and this world is incredibly fast ,but there are still limits to my patience ,so I am giving it another chance tonight and hoping that I can get back onto a frequent basis .
          The summer has been brilliant ,all weathers from snow to 30 degrees above ,and just when we needed rain it came by the bucketful, most of my trees have done well and right at this moment they look a picture ,I've had a steady stream of fabulous visitors and even been swimming a few times ! Cam is up in Auckland where the streets are paved with gold ,Manu ,Cass and Eulalia are happily ensconsed in Hamilton Bay where last I heard Eulalia could stand on her own two feet ,couldn't go anywhere ,but could stand ! My dear Mother is still hanging in there ,7 mths to go to hit the ton .Jack turned 70 last week and had a very successful retirement party ...."go for it Jacko"

              Right I'll only put a couple of photos tonight to see if it works ..lots of love ...Bob
