Attached picture shows where I am - gold star. If traffic heading south-east on Lincoln St towards the Rifle Range Rd roundabout is queued back as far as the Caltex exit opposite that's very unscientifically "a traffic jam".
Mon, Tue and Wed this week dry and sunny.
Monday - no 8am jam but school traffic jam from 0830 until 0845 and for less than a minute actually stationary at 0835 but mostly moving slowly.
Tues and Wed - no 8am or school traffic jam at all.
Next week shows rain every day - will repeat the exercise next Mon, Tue, Wed and report back.
There were queues the other way for Forest Lake but that's another story.
A beautiful insight into how the morticians at Waikato Hospital look after our loved ones:
In the visiting room, Garth Wright will lay a colourful blanket over the sterile hospital sheet that covers a corpse. It sounds silly, he says, but it makes the person look warm and comfortable.

In the visiting room, Garth Wright will lay a colourful blanket over the sterile hospital sheet that covers a corpse. It sounds silly, he says, but it makes the person look warm and comfortable.
Before family arrive at the Waikato Hospital mortuary, he smooths any pain out of the face.
He leaves the curtains drawn and the door to the visiting room open to reduce the shock for the visitors. He welcomes them into the square little room and beckons them to sit next to the body. He says, "You can touch them, they're clean," and watches as they hold hands for the last time.
From today our Neighbourly page will be re-named to Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

A few weeks ago I noticed a blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox for the rubbish collection.

After 3 weeks and not been collected by the council rubbish truck, I realised it had been blue stickered due to the weight of the bag, even though it was only half full. So this week I opened the bag to find piles of undelivered circulars/pamplets for supermarkets, warehouse etc. I should have rung the manager for the area to advise them that probably one of their lazy delivery persons just couldnt be bothered delivering them.
I divided the contents into 4 bags so the Council rubbish collector would pick the bag up. (Which they did)
Next time I will be informing an area manger, so please keep an eye out for this if happens at your letterbox.

Another marvellous day out, the sun still has heat in it, but the shade is a bit chilly. Not as heavy a dewfall this morning, so no nicely silvered lawn as the sun rises higher.
Looking forward to seeing all the vegetable competition entire for 2018: - lets try to make them STUNNING!
Lugton's are very proud to be partnering with Round the Bridges as the key sponsor for 2017.
