In what could be mistaken for the Trump election campaign headquarters in New York because of the Russian symbol , this is a view of the Little Darwin den after a lawnmower fired a stone through a sliding glass door. The hammer and sickle is a gift from a roaming correspondent who went to Albania or Romania ( can't remember because of senile decay ), on a skiing holiday, where Joe Stalin wristlet watches were also on sale .
Cheapskate correspondent did not buy a timepiece to add to our dusty , disorganised den in which the computer screams at you for some unknown reason and threatens to explode , crash or melt , possibly all three . In addition , it refuses to accept incoming mail. Must see the island computer expert and or a Japanese scrapmetal dealer soon .
Luckily, the large New Zealand All Blacks flag hanging at the back of the shattered door was not damaged and hastily removed so as not to be affected by rain .
With the shattered glass pushed out , incurring a cut finger and foot in the process , the blog spot is like a hole in the wall café -wasps, mosquitoes , sweat sucking March flies and even a few butterflies dropping in . A resident Curlew pokes a beak in every so often demanding to be fed. Next week we should once more be sheltered from the dangers and demands of the cruel, sweaty, outside world when a laminated replacement is installed .
