Saturday, May 2nd, 2020.. No longer counting the days, I’m counting the memories…
Let’s Roll back to Thursday, As we are now allowed to fish in the sea, so long as our feet are on the ground, a couple of the bubble buddies decided to plant the net in the river at low tide Thursday evening.
Yesterday morning, they dragged it in with a haul of Kawhai!
The proposed first fish and chips takeaway meal (since March) as a birthday treat….now only needed to be chips. The birthday boy was smoking fresh fish!
We will leave them there dealing with the fish, as another trauma was unfolding in my bubble number two!
The babysitter, or dog sitter rang in a panic around 8am….Dan had gone to work and Floyd was missing! Oh oh, first thought was that he’d got out and taken himself for a beach run! But the property has 6ft fences and he never leaves without his humans. George and I hightailed it down the road to be met by a very panicked Jaxon. After another thorough property search, inside, outside and under houses, a frightened little head was spied peeping from behind the only bushed area (1 meter wide) of the driveway! Floyd had hidden there, after having trouble with his morning ablutions. Having not digested the grass and wood he had added to his diet the day before he needed his father (Daniel) to do the clean up job. Being something that couldn’t wait, yours truly got the honours in this case!
At least Floyd stayed home and stayed safe! Slowly calming down after a big drink of water and a couple of mandarins!
Time to start work! It’s sort of a seven day a week job at the moment….as retailers processing online orders just lose track of days and hours too.
I walked away from my screen about 3.30 pm. Trudi the undertaken the job of taking everyone’s chip, burger, sausage etc order, which was rung through before I collapsed at happy distancing hour with my bubble buddies at 4.00pm. George was the courier driver for the 5.00pm pick up Orewa. The fresh smoked fish waiting to be joined by the chips!
Early dinner, fresh smoked Kawhai, takeaway chips from Captain Kerr’s, and bubbles supplied by the birthday boy!
Bubble lockdown birthday, and no rules were broken! All outdoor, own plates, tongs used, own glasses, own fish, only our bubble and no extensions! This will be a birthday to remember, as many people have had bubble birthdays during this time..bet they didn’t have fresh smoked fish!
All who wander are not Lost girls
