Spring is here, September is bringing sunshine to out closed doors, gates and borders. As covid lives in our community, we try to carry on with our lives and keep our heads above water.
We need to keep safe and designer masks are the new designer shoes. Gates keep us safe and our canines safe. Floyd has been hanging out in Silverdale while his house is a building site. Dan is cranking along with his renovations and a dog cannot understand why his home is being ripped apart.
I would actually like to fast forward September as I stare down the barrel of 60 years on this earth. I always said the 10 years from age 20-30 were the best of our lives, but on reflection 50-60 was pretty awesome! Russ and I had some great adventures until a year ago when September hit us. Now it’s only memories as I navigate Father’s Day, A year since Russ left me and his birthday in September. So I say roll on October and my next decade on earth and let’s see if the “time heals all” can take me to a new world!
This covid thing has become a drag for many… We are starting to accept that our freedom of choice is somewhat changed. Never having held on to things and a forever home(house), the focus is on making a nest where we can be happy seems to be the thing now.
George gave up on returning to the UK and started a kiwi work life this week, a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 working week. After working from home for 10 months, unsociable hours, afternoon naps and random gym visits, it’s welcome to the real world and a welcome change!
Dad is chugging along, walking laps of the house and bossing me around as I try to work in my world of selling bags and boxes! The covid world has crushed the retail trade but boosted the online shopping craze and I dream of box sales! Kiwis now shop from the safety of their home and our boxes are in big demand.
I kind of feel like a spider with eight arms as I try to keep my lot happy adjusting to a changed world. Sometimes one gets ripped off and another one grows in its place to reach out and pick up the pieces!
I never liked closed doors, but this is now the new norm and so long as we shut the gate the humans and canines will be safe!

Hi Sue, l can assure you that 60 to 80 ,(nearly) will go faster. We are looking forward to hearing some good news on Sunday. 6 weeks in lockdown has been hard but even that went quickly. Give Al a hug and tell him that we are thinking of you all . Spring is putting a smile on our faces.. take care and keep safe. Rhonda and Ian 😊

Hi Sue, I hope George has enjoyed both the change, challenge & also the near locality of his new job. Travel to & from work won’t be so tiring as if he was on a plane back to England. No doubt Floyd will be terribly spoilt at your abode. I know you are in a challenging situation yourself, but try to fined the time to look after yourself as well, although that will be extremely difficult. Thinking of you, love Brenda & Graeme.
