Day 16 - Levin night 2

This morning I stripped the sheets from my bed and popped them in Denys's washing machine. They are lovely and dry but I haven't made up the bed again because I can't decide to go to summer sheets or not. I will have to make a decision before the night is over and I go to bed..!
Lovely shower and hair wash in Denys's shower.
I then went off to Palmerston North to catch up with Val. We were neighbours at Bulls and her former husband and my former husband worked together. Excellent catching up on her.
I then went to the library in Palmy to look up various addresses. Not easy in a nearly 7ft campervan to find a park. Parked a few blocks away and then went the 'long' way to the library. Found a couple of addresses and then thought dam it I am going to go to Fielding.
Took the quick route back to the camper. Always a concern that I wouldn't remember where I parked it. Lombard St was in the brain that I could have googled. Interesting seeing the Square in Palmy again. Bit different to the old days.
I then went to Fielding to see our old neighours from Bulls. Like a lot of people must be almost 50 years since we have seen one another. Sylvie was thrilled to see me and and me her. They were an English couple that came to NZ when Graham wanted to join the RNZAF. I was very fond of Graham's Mum that also lived next to us. Just loved seeing them. Sadly Graham's memory isn't the best. They live in a retirement village in Fielding.
Sylvie said they have been to Invercargill twice but didn't know how to contact me. She has thought of me from time to time. One also wonders how we lost contact.
Loved the English accent and Sylvie saying bye darlin as a Londoner would.
Managed to finally get to the supermarket and stock up. Not sure how long it has been good to have wine again.
