I was up and sorted and at the auto electrician at 8-30. Not exactly sure what the issue was but sorted very quickly. Perhaps just cleaning a bit of dust and dirt off the connections. Very pleased to have it all working well and for $35 a bargain.
Back to Carolyn's and we went to see Dad's cousin John. Must have been still at morning tea. Went with Carolyn to do a couple of messages and back to John's. John is 96 and a great person to talk with and still has an excellent sense of humour . It was his meal time so we didn't have long with him. He loved getting the free newspapers from Invercargill. He grew up in Orepuki with Dad and then lived in Invercargill till he was in his 40's meet and married a Southlander and had three children, and still a proud Southlander.
Then Carolyn and I went to the garden store to get plants for her vegetable patch that is ready to go with her spending the last few days removing the weeds.
We then went on a Sunday drive on Thursday. We went to Pegasus. I have never been there before and I was impressed with the lake, houses, shop, walking and cycling tracks and so near the beach.
I could see remote control boats in the lake and said to Carolyn they must have a holiday program going for school kids. Look at the photo and see how wrong I was!
Two young lads were selling shortbread on the side of the lake so we stopped and got some. Very enterprising with Nana's help. I haven't tried it as yet but I hear they are delicious.
I am at my brother's Winston and his wife Lesley's tonight. Yum tea to spite me having food that needs to be eaten in the camper. It will be a good breakfast for me.
Winston helped me buying the camper and when he arrived in from work he looked at the camper to see if there were any differences. Winston realized that my road user miles have expired or not current. Excellent spotting and I will be down at the Post shop first thing in the morning to get that sorted. How did I not think of that???
Only one night here and off north tomorrow Czytaj więcej
