Four in a row . . .

Around 7:30 this am it was 9 outside (hmmm, convert that to F using 9/5 C + 32 = a little below 50, and at 9 it is around 14 - aka a little below 60 Farenheit, I believe). The sun's rays are very intense here so I have a farmer's tan. Re the topic in the title, in some parts of town you may see a single house on a piece of property and may see nearby two, three, or more rarely four, houses in a row, one behind the other, sharing the same driveway. Interesting. There is also a difference in house prices between here and Auckland, with many there going for a million dollars or more. On a more mundane level I am fighting with my pretty new lawnmower - crank it, no start, crank, no, crank no, wait a while crank and sometimes start. It will eventually start so I have not smashed it yet or even cussed at it though the latter has almost happened. Otherwise things seem to work. You can e-mail me at manford_barber@hotmail.com if you have ideas about how to get the mower to start: it has a petrol briggs and straton motor. In fact you can e-mail me about anything you want to, since Google makes it hard to reply to the blog using its system. Hope all is well with those who read this. Respectfully, Manford
