Trip planning, a plumber and a tool rail

After yesterday we decided to head straight to Vanessas for an early coffee and the newspaper before today’s work commenced ( yep it’s still not a holiday!), so at 8am we trudged through the door still half asleep.
At 9am we were at Hampden recycling centre educating ourselves on the new NZ plastic recycling rules ( who said we don’t live exciting lives these days??!!)
Kate spent the day making Mary a tool hanging rack to organise the myriad of garden tools whilst I spent the day starting to try to plan our next 4 month adventure to South America.
Then the u expected happened.... the plumber turned up as arranged!!! What a miracle. Tim was v nice and was even nicer when he reported my outdoor shower was a possibility- at last!!!! How v exciting??!! ( also i tried to sell him the caravan to which he appeared semi interested- bonus!)
So excited I did a bit more weed killing before we headed back down to Mary’s where she kindly cooked us dinner.
After dinner there was a spare hour to go through some of K’s Grandad Charlie’s memorabilia - such fabulous history and a nice way to end the day.Læs mere
