This week has been all about moving house.
Not only that - we moved from a lifestyle block to a lifestyle block so...horses, sheep (in the middle of lambing), dogs, cat, aviary birds, farm equipment AS WELL AS household stuff. Yikes.
So ALL my senses really worked overtime this week.
1 Smells (mainly of the excrement variety - farms are basically big toilets).
2 My body is sore all over from lifting, pushing, pulling stuff.
3 Sights - various spectacular views of Central Hawke's Bay countryside.
4 Food - Matt Oliver gave us a fantastic hamper, a friend bought over a wonderful chicken pie and McCauley's cheese scones were a delish treat.
5 Sounds - I listened to a lot of Sounds FM in the Purdmobile as I moved stuff using a horse float or a large trailer. Amazing how many times I heard Billy Joel's Anthony's Song

Senses working overtime #7
1 Twitter's verified users explained
If you are at all interested in social media and Twitter you need to read this. No dry analysis this - instead a fascinating collection of information and graphs about Twitter's verified users. I couldn't stop reading it.
2 Fathers and sons
Something about father and sons stories gets me every time. I'm always drawn to them, and so this article by Michael Cerveris about playing the role of a father in Broadway's Fun Home struck a chord. The article twists and turns and surprises and delights. Worth some of your time in other words.
3 Yossi Sassi
One of my new Twitter followers is an awesome musician. Here is his full album and it's free! And it's great! I am very partial to instrumental rock guitar albums (Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai) and this one has a fresh desert vibe going on. What a world we live in eh?!
4 Matt Oliver
A plug for our next door neighbour - Mr Matt Oliver. He has just embarked on his new career in real estate by selling his first house - ours!!
Matt IS the man! Here's his web site. If you're looking to buy or sell your place...Matt's going places so hitch your wagon to a star.
5 The FIFA Women's World Cup 2015
Canada is the place and I'm getting pumped. PUMPED I tell you! It will be amazing!
As a precursor - remember these scenes from the last one in Germany 4 years ago:
Overtime
I could fill up this bonus section with medium.com posts every week. here are two more that you need to read - one to make you think and the other to amuse in a nice gentle way.
