1st May, 2020, day 4 level 3, and a third of 2020 is done!
We are racing through this year without realising how many days we have used! As every day seems the same. Friday night drinks have lost their punch, catch up with friends is just a phone call…and crawling out of bed, two steps to work station, don’t need to get dressed….and bang it’s Friday night again.
Floyd loves George – you can see the family resemblance in the hair colour at least! Now Dan is back at work, Floyd is hanging out at Jaxs place…
And doing a bit of gardening – the grape vine needs chopping back.
George did the Orewa run yesterday, as I was glued to my work chair from 7.30am…with a 10 minute break to make a quick vege pie for dinner…..which as it turned out was lucky…
As the Sun goes down, and the band won’t play….all of Waiweras power went off right on dinner time!
Not being a candle girl, one of those folks who has those strategically placed smelly candles around the house, I had to hightail it home from happy hour (while there was still light) and dig around in bins for emergency supplies. Couldn’t find a torch, but…
Bathroom lighting was rather relaxing…
George had just finished his self exercise plan and wondered if we would have hot water. “Of course” I said, “our hot water is on gas”. Shower by candlelight!
I was about to dish our cold slab of vege pie and George emerged, in all his winter woollies, and told me I lied! No hot water! Ok, I thought, I need to change the gas bottle (same one for four months must be run out- mum logic)
Out I go with a candle, flick the switch over, there you go….still no hot water! Having exhausted all female plumbing knowledge, I called Dan, who was happily cooking hot food on BBQ and, blow me down….one needs electricity to spark the gas! How would the end user know that?
We were about to launch into our chilled dinner (which is actually much better hot) when boom – there was light! (Heat, hot water and all that goes with it)
Alls well that ends well, hot shower, hot dinner and warm cottage….
All who wander are not Lost girls
