Ben

Look what I've got!
 
Actually he's just on loan for the night.  He hates cars and his Mum has to go to Auckland once a week and if he's left at home he does naughty things and if he's taken in the car he gets up to mischief.  So his Mum says he can go to a caring home where he doesn't have to travel or be left on his own.  I'd keep him myself if I wasn't so transient.
On the fibre front it's a bit dismal.  Went to the Whangamata market on the last Sunday of January (Auckland Anniversary weekend) and sold absolutely nothing.  Mind you the humidity levels were very high (who wants to touch wool), the day had been changed from the usual Saturday to Sunday, and as it was wet the organiser had crammed tables in.  I'm in the foyer with 4 stalls in all, this time there were 7!   Shall I try again at Easter - million dollar question!
This weekend just gone the Katikati Art and Craft Trail had a special two days.  Every studio had to be open 10 - 6 each day.  I didn't mind the hours as I got a lot of work done but I only saw two people on each day and no sales.  I am 20Km from Katikati so guess that's not going to work either.

  2. Hmmm does your Ben only feed once a day, curl up at the office door to protect me and go pantpantpant when the walking leash appears. And he can spin that tail around and around. He's coming back tomorrow for two nights this time.

  4. Its a bit embarrassing but when Ben's mum came to pick him up this time he didn't want to leave. Was it the stick throwing on the beach or Pete feeding him ginger biscuits!

  5. You are a closet dog person. All these years I never knew. Perhaps a less transient life is in order :)

  6. I don't think so Rind. You should see me hide behind Pete from BIG dogs on the beach. This guy is a toy, back for the third time this weekend.
