'Woodwork by Malcolm' page has been updated...... Phew....finally made it to March, just in time as it is nearly over. A truly hectic month as I have travelled for work to Oamaru and Whangarei. Sunday 28th March 2016 So... I have been making a Snoopy House, it is really a letterbox, but I'm sure it would get stolen if I used it as one.
Tuesday 22nd March - Wednesday 23rd March 2016 I have been in Whangarei for 2 days working...So.. Happy Birthday to me...up and out the door by 5.00am to get to Whangarei by 7.30am. Went to lunch at Deluca Cafe, if you are ever passing through Whangarei this is the place to go.
When I got back to my Motel these flowers were in my room. They were from my work. Awwww.
