As usual waited for a photo to arrive. Driving past on this street we noticed a really different hedge/fence/? Its a modern house built amongst a lot of old ones but overlooking the beautiful Oamaru harbour. Its not glass, I think!
Apologies to the hazards people who had placed a ribbon around this fence - I removed it!
Three Good Things:
1. It was hot again today - 23degC - not normal but Oamaru had the hottest temp in NZ today.
2. Planted some free sunflower seeds and watered! Last years free ones never got past GO!
3. Some pills work - eventually - back problems again and there was a lot of groaning (from me!) but with anti inflammatories taken early in the day and gin and vermouth, much later, I was a normal person! Mind you John and I had a great conversation - - about wheelchairs and memory loss! LOL!
I love those daisies or are the dandelion clocks, is this what the new fencing in NZ looks like? Why had it got hazard tape round it...is it not finished yet?
Keep taking the tablets! I have been checking travel insurance tonight for our trip....I nearly fell off my chair, over £900 at one company, £600 at another & two or three of the others don't do more tha 31 days! I wouldn't mind if we were doddery but we are as fit as fleas! I will keep searching!
@happypat Don't know what the flowers would be - just a decoration, I would think. They had hazard tape around the outside lawn as it had just been planted - so people wouldn't walk on it. Good thing we can search for good travel deals. We get automatic travel insurance if we pay for our trip using mastercard! Well, we did but now with John's heart condition we might have to pay up to NZ$1200!
@maggiemae Well we will travel without it if necessary. Staying with family is a little different than going to a country where you know no one. If we due they can bury us in the garden!
LOL! I simply LOVE your commentary and 3 good things!
And you go girl for removing whatever it was around this ... erm .. interesting ... boundary type thing!
Yay for anti inflammatories! I'm living on them and painkillers as well!
Wonderful screens! I would love these down the side of my garden to hopefully block out the children next door bouncing on their trampoline! When we sit outside all we see are these heads appearing up and down looking at us over the fence! Lovely children but I would like some privacy - these screens look perfect for the job!
Very fascinating fence indeed! When you say you removed the hazard tape do you mean photographically or physically? I'm thinking you're late in the day libation probably help to you as much as your early in the day pills!
I would love a fence like this on the front of our property!! It runs along the road and it would be pretty and cut back all the dust from the gravel road!! Really cool and different fence! FAV!
Sorry you have so much pain, I know what that's like!!! I am allergic to pain medication so I just suffer!
This looks a lovely place. Strange what one can get used to.... 23C sounds a wee bit on the cold side to me now, after being in the tropics for so long.
@thistle I'm still drinking Joyce and now I've fallen off my chair and am lying on the floor imagining untold stories from shadows on the ceiling! Just kidding, of course!
the fence looks good and fits this modern building. wonder how expansive something like that would be and where to get them. I can't help myself reading all your conversations on this page. LOL. when it comes to travel insurance, both of us aren't insurable anymore..so they say!. traveled to Mexico beginning of the year with insurance. taking a big risk with my heart condition though.
@bruni You have been to the specialist now, Bruni? I have gathered that if you have been stable on medications for 1 year you can be insured. Some friends of ours, he who has had a triple by pass were not accepted for the States!
@maggiemae My medication has changed since my last appointment and also they told me I'm taking too many meds to be insurable. so it's either staying home or taking the risk. life has to go on without insurance, I'm afraid. thanks for thinking about it.
Great comp and pov. There is a fence a bit like this in Edwards Gardens here in Toronto, though it doesn't have flowers on it. I think it is glass, but of a very tough kind.
Love this new fence, and the cheerful flowers depicted on it that will be forever blooming!! It makes for a great wind break and privacy screen with its etched finish. I hope it is acrylic and not glass as it would not only cost a lot, but could also be easily damaged if some idiot were to throw a rock, or a car would crash into it!!
