2118. Hills and codes © Bruce Goodman 5 May 2021 |
As I have said many times: when it comes to a significant number in this blog’s story numbering I like to deviate from story-telling a wee bit and chat about other things. Today’s story number is significant because it’s the password I use to get into my bank account. I also use it as the password for my computer and WordPress and social media and everything else. These days it’s almost impossible to remember heaps of passwords so I stick to 2118 for everything. Also for the pin number for my phone. To celebrate this number I thought I would simple show some photos of my environment around the house. It is very hilly, so I wandered around the outside of the house this past week and took photos willy-nilly. That way you can see where I live. Incidentally the code to turn off the house alarm is also 2118. Also to unlock the keypad on the door. As I said, I use the number for everything. The number 2118 was the number of our car’s registration plate when I was a kid. It’s actually just the first four numbers of the plate because in those days there were six numbers: 2118-46. Anyway, here are pictures taken from the paths around the house: ![]() Fields of rape (I always think it’s an unfortunate name for this turnip-like crop). ![]() Looking towards the East. ![]() The water tank on the highest hill. ![]() Making hay. ![]() Devon cattle - one of the oldest breeds of cattle in the world. ![]() The water tank is next to the distant pines. ![]() The old disused woolshed when sheep roamed the farm (now cattle) ![]() Some of the neighbour’s sheep and water tank. ![]() Volcano Mount Taranaki from the gate. ![]() Don’t you just hate it when neighbours crowd you out? Almost 2118 legs to pull. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story |
