3rd August 2020, we really are deep in the kiwi winter, and adjusting to the new normal without our three loved ones.
Sue, George and Trudi have moved out of Waiwera (for now), frantic final shifting day yesterday. Russell Rose is being cared for by our friend John, so he can stay at Waiwera and listen to the sea. The cottage has reclaimed all its treasures, and the humans are displaced again. Our Australian neighbours are well and truly locked down (kiwi style) to try and send the dreaded virus packing. We are still getting cases at the border and international travel seems a far off dream.
Meanwhile, life goes on and another Southland seafood treat…
Bluff oyster fritters in (Speights) beer batter! George made the mistake of going out this night and only ended up with two! Al and Sue had a feast!
Another working week begins, the first of George’s last four working remotely as he has secured a kiwi job starting on the 1st of September. Dan starts ripping his house apart in readiness to rise from the foundations, 12 months of planning. Jaxon and Steph almost have a new bathroom and Sue and George are set up in Silverdale!
The boys, Jax and George headed to town for a night out….George certainly missed out on the maltese height genes…..another time another place….
Two years ago George in Malta with Cousin Sammy…
Now, it’s time for work as I ponder the list of jobs behind the scenes. I have sheds and storage of Russ and my stuff to sort, cars to fix ( the punto is slightly rearranged where I backed into her when racing to the hospital one morning), merc to sell, and stuff to sort for Al! Life is full of fun…but first a coffee and a breath.
All who wander are not Lost girls 
Hi Sue Al and George, lovely to see a smile on little Al 😊 sorry a little smile Al’s face. I think you are spoiling him, but he is worth it. We aren’t going very far now for 6 weeks but we are all ok
Cheers to you all in NZ from us in OZ xx
