The sun shines on Havelock North this morning, it's a frosty but beautiful winter day.

Yesterday I earned some cash! I met with the people who run a small local vineyard and did the changeover for their cottage on the vineyard that they rent out for guests. This is likely to turn into a regular gig for me, and I'm pretty happy about that. It needs to be joined by several others, though. I looked at my finances this morning and the reality is hitting home - I need to get more cash coming in, and need to continue to live frugally. I fear that my visit to the beauty spa last week might be the last for a while!

Over the weekend I've been reading Peta Mathias' book on men. How funny she is! Wish I could write like Peta. There's lots to be learnt, read it if you get a chance. That includes any men reading this!

This week I will be staying with my mother, and will be without broadband access so this will be my last post for a week. Stay tuned for updates on my ironing business.
