I went for a lovely long bike ride this morning and saw all the regulars out doing the same (we all wave/nod at each other but don't stop and chat). Just getting out at the crack of dawn in the lovely fresh air while everything is waking up, sparks so much joy.
I have friends staying at the moment, who were displaced in the Auckland flooding; today, they got a call telling them they are good to return to their house (it had been yellow-stickered, meaning engineers had to check it out first). Their insurance company has been really good, too - I love them staying and they can stay for as long as they wish, but I'm just so happy that life can return to normal for them.
A friend of a friend has asked if I can help renovate the front entrance to her house; she saw what I'd done for my friend and was impressed. I feel really flattered! It's going to be a fun project too, as she has a decent budget to work with and doesn't dilly-dally about making decisions. I'm going to visit her this afternoon to see the space and come up with some ideas.
