Day Seven - Belfast

I am booked to go to the North Island...!! My dear sister, Carolyn helped me last night. Like people say the savings as a NZMCA member more than pays for your membership for a year. I cross on Bluebridge next Tuesday and have a return crossing for Dec. So good to have Carolyn's help to ensure I got the discount and didn't book things the wrong way around.
This morning I had morning tea with Cathy my old NZ Post boss. Cathy was coming south from here to help celebrate my birthday. She was parked at Woodhaugh St, Dunedin in her campervan missed a step, fell and broke her shoulder. Poor thing had to wait five hours for an ambulance. They were phoning regularly to check on her.
Hindsight is wonderful and she knows how she could have done things differently.
They totally replaced the bone and the scar is enormous and healing is slow and steady. Very pleased to see her and know how she is doing.
I had a problem with my fuel guage last time in the campervan and it is happening again with the cigarette lighter USB type connection not working. Went to an auto electrician about 12-30 and the chap said he would be back at 2pm. Parked up and waited. 3pm phoned again and got an answer phone, left a msg and still haven't heard anything! Drove to another place and will take it back in the morning. I hope it is just a fuse.
Been meaning to say that to spite my best efforts to ensure everything is locked and secure before I depart it has taken a few days to really get this sorted..!
Always seems to be one not secure to spite my best efforts. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer!Read more
