As you might have guessed from the lack of regular posting on house matters, there’s not a lot of action going on at the ranch at the moment. For those of you in the Northern hemisphere remember that currently we’re at the height of summer, and everyone likes to have a bit of a break to get a few barbies under their belts around this time. We’d hoped that everything could get to a stage that meant guys would work though to either get the extra cash for New Year’s eve, or to pay off the credit card from the rash choice of offering to pay for the top-shelf round on NY eve, but it wasn’t to be.

But that doesn’t stop us having to go and water the plants every now and then anyway. Today’s surprise was the butternut squash that had taken off and seem to have a few baby butternuts on them. So given nothing else has been going on you can have four photos of them! Aren’t you lucky!

Go on. Vote for your favourite! Then one or other of us can gloat that we took the best one…

We’ve had a couple of days now to think about whether we own up to this or not, but as you’ve been starved for anything new from us for a while we’ve decided to ‘fess up and admit that yes, we did indeed attend the 20-20 match between NZ and Pakistan.

Whether our attendance had any impact on the match we’re not going to delve into here today, but limit ourselves to the venue and the company: Both good. In fact the Tui stand provided more entertainment than the game for some of the match.

I think we might leave it there! I suspect there’s quite a few other Kiwis that might want to forget about the night too… I guess the only thing we’ve got to to feel good about was that we were there on a night when a Kiwi team broke a record!

(clicky so you can blow it up and see the score more clearly… Sigh. )
