Look at this tuckered out wee dog. I have been at the small dog park this morning and they had a wonderful time. Archie has a new trick, he rolls around, and around in the beautiful autumn leaves...and then they stick to you lol. Kind of looked like the scary leaf monster running around the dog park ;-)
I haven't taken any photos of Tui for a while so here she is, doing what cat's do best - being nosy (oh that and sleeping lol).
Remember these things? I have heaps of tapes from the last twenty years of teaching, many of them are still great, but most of us use an Ipod or C.D's for our song collections now. So I brought a machine, that uses a USB and you can record your tapes onto your computer and save them how you see fit. Trouble is they record in real time. Most tapes are forty five minutes. I'm going to be doing this for a very long time lol.
Many of you have been asking for an update on Donna's house. We ran out of gib, and have now got some more, so the gibbing is nearly finished, the door frames, skirting boards, etc are all nearly up and then the stopper will come in. The kitchen has arrived. Drains are being dug. Fortunately we don't have to have any time limits on getting things done by, so this all gets fitted into everything else that goes on in life.
We've been ripping out our garden (with plans to put in a new one, different shape and easier to look after). As part of this we put in four new veggie gardens. We love our vegies, and anything we don't eat the piggies will.
Back to the tapes I go...
Have a great week.

LOL at the tapes ... we threw away 2 huge bags full when we did our last spring clean ... even if we'd had the machine to do the copy job, I definitely don't think I have the patience! I haven't even copied all our CDs onto the computer yet! Good luck with your big job :-)
You have a big job ahead. At least there is technology to do the job albeit slowly. I have a box of videos of our kids productions that they were in ready in the car to drop off to the lady with the technology. Have a first week back for Term 2.
Great to see the progress on Donna's house, and you'll love your veggie gardens, so easy!
Adorable doggie pics as always trace, and your sweet puddy tat,soooo typical...and here comes mine now, demanding FOOOOOOD!
Too gorgeous- your dog and the leaves. I love the sound of your property with the animals and veges and all! Hope the first week of term 2 goes well. xo
Ah the days of tapes ... good to know they can be computerised ... and nice to have an update on the house ... lucky there's no deadline, it looks like a big job!
Aww look at Tui, she looks so regal. Yippe for planter boxes and veggies. Great progress on the house, how exciting. oh thats a lotta tapes to convert, have fun with that.
Good luck with all those tapes. Glen has been working on ours and old videos too for years now. We have yet to actually get any of them off the computer tho...why rush? Sounds like Donnas house is coming along nicely.
so you can put old music tapes on to a disky thingymajig is that right ... OMG ... sounds like a plan ... we've got a few of them - just saying.
And the new vege gardens in waiting ... fabbo!!! love my veges too!
Wow things are really happening at your place..Great that there is no actual time frame for Donna's house... LOl at the cassette's we have quite a few as well. I bought a machine that plays and changes the music from them to the computer and to Cd's too.. Have yet to put it to use tho.. LOL
Oh Tui looks so healthy and her coats so glossy.... yep.. I'll leave the dog comments to Viv... I'm a cat girl! LOL.
We have two gardens like the ones you have put in for veges.. so good on the back!

OMG we have heaps of tapes too! They're all Forbes's 80's music yuck!:) Great idea though.
So hows the secret project coming along?
I'd love a vege garden but just no room :(
