Hmmm. I guess you could read the post either way. It's not completely clear which form the author used, and which the poster preferred! You read it one way, I read it the other.

I've clarified my wording. I meant it to be read the way pdurrant did. :-)

WRT the original post: I just watched a crime show made in New Zealand where one of the characters said, "... of an afternoon" in the same sense as the indie author's "... of a morning." So that style of speaking seems to be extant in NZ.
