The shortest day (and longest night) slipped by when we weren’t looking – a day or two ago, we think. By our reckoning, the shortest day should be in mid winter. Not that you would know it was mid winter today, the drizzly rain has stopped, the sun is shining, and a gentle breeze is blowing through the laundry hanging on the clothesline. And talking of laundry, Robin had a little job to do today. There was quite a collection of plastic spring pegs which had snapped on one side, could he fix them for me? No problem – out came his handy set of pliers, and he set to work, using the fold down tail-gate of his 4WD as a work bench. The pliers were necessary to lift up the wire spring and fit it over the plastic.
Fixing my pegs
In no time at all, the job was done. What a handy husband! But with a wife who has a bit of a “thing” about keeping the laundry up to date, he knows that a little job like this will win him some brownie points. Some more home baking, perhaps?

And getting back to the shortest day and mid winter, the good news is that the days will slowly start to lengthen again, so “Roll On Summer!”
