Amazing! Tonight I signed up for online banking with my NZ bank -- completely fuss-free process. So now I can log on any time and find out my balance. It was astoundingly simple, even from this great distance.

Great weekend, focused on gardening. Yesterday I weeded, a major event - it was horribly overgrown. I really need to go back and grub the convolvulus out properly from the front garden, I just tidied it really, before rain stopped play. Today I mowed and strimmed, back and front.

Other than that I did stuff all. Ate (pork stir-fried with curly kale and my own home-grown garlic, in oyster sauce. YUM.), loafed, rested, read, watched TV, walked the dog. Oh and tonight I worked, an easy night since there was only one page.
