Newbie in Whakatane (well just outside anyway)

Hi All, Another newbie here, we have a 1 acre block 2 kids and a dog, we have owned it for best part of 4 years and have decided to find out how to make the best of it, found this site and here we are.

welcome to the lsb family Dan
Hope the weather is better up your way than the mud we have here

it's windy and cold...is that an improvement?

I'd rather just windy and cold than windy and cold with snow and/or melt water everywhere like we have here at the moment.

Daylight savings this weekend will see the warm weather return...hopefully[8D]

so long as it dries out some of the water thats laying round here .. then daylight savings is just fine
LOL i would rather it was lighter earlier though as i would rather be up early and into it, so lighter evenings dont mean much to me

unfortunately im not an "early bird" so the lighter evenings is when it all happens at our place, we both work fulltime so the longer days are the only time we ever get things done...

The days aren't longer, they just start later.

oh dear Igor.. its not so much that the day starts later.. what we use to measure time is shifted .. but you know that .. i am with StuR.. i like the early start, get it over and done with then one doesnt feel guilty about vegging .. and its usually too darn hot to do anything at the end of the day , and who can realy be bothered after a full day at work .. but anyway.. welcome.. and it definately officially spring now.. equinox today/yesturday.. it can only get better...cant wait to pop back here in Feb and see everyone lamenting the lack of water

I got my bore pump fixed at last summer so you wont hear any moaning from me!!...fingers crossed...
