Home Again

Well I've been home again for nearly 24 hours of which I have spent nearly 8 1/2 asleep in one solid, deep sleep without recall of a dream and no pit stop!  So I woke this morning feeling refreshed and raring to go.  I spent a few hours catching up with emails and phone calls and having coffee and scones with Wendy.  Then I went to play croquet.  The weekend tournament was very enjoyable and I played well so have returned a happy bunny even though I only managed mid field results.  I did add 32 points to my handicap index.  I may soon recoup the losses I incurred when I had the disastrous start to the season.

 In Wanganui we were staying with a friend and fellow croquet player, Jill, whose fridge had various magnets on it.  As you know I love reading other people's fridge magnets:

I think that I'd rather gloss over this afternoon and evening with a rather indifferent loss by one hoop in a doubles Association Croquet match and then a thunderstorm (my washing which was nearly dry 12 hours ago is sodden and hanging heavily on the clothes line at 2330 as I write this) followd by an evening of total non-achievement.  However the rainbow late this afternoon as seen from The Cottage was rather wonderful:

And so to bed.
