Day 16 of 365
House work
 |
| Doesn't look like we'll be sleeping in our bedroom tonight (or tomorrow night or the next night...)! |
I don't usually like to add too many words (but will today). This corner of the house is the original part of the house, built just after WW2. It was tiny! The doorway looking part was where a fireplace was. It's all wooden framing with wooden weatherboards on the outside. Fairly standard in NZ. Joanne, there was NO insulation in any of these walls or ceiling - no wonder we get cold at times!
See you tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!

Farm work

| We have a few paddocks across the road - getting to this one involves walking along the road rather than crossing straight over; usually we graze them in the weekends when there is less traffic. . |
