I mentioned last week that our first flat in NZ was tiny; so much so that our bed touched three walls in the bedroom. We also got a couple of kittens from my brother Neville’s cat: Pandora and Piwhacket. Happy Pi day! #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday

I showed cats playing around the base of the fountain as my Caturday photo; here’s the top of the fountain, with a flower girl figure. This fountain doesn’t work currently; we’re thinking about replacing it. #dejus365

Trees reflected in the glassy pond, with a couple of koi visible. #dejus365

Paladin & Rory like hanging out together. It’s so cute! #dejus365 🐈 🐕

After Jenn moved to NZ in 1994, we got our own place, a tiny and dingy flat in Mairangi Bay. But that was fine; we didn’t have much stuff back then. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday

Dusty garden equipment awaiting collection for servicing: our zero-turn riding mower, push edger, and chainsaw. I get the mower serviced each year, and occasionally add other equipment, as needed. #dejus365
