• Mad list of jobs- completed!!!

    February 23, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    We knew we had a full on day if we were to get everything that needed doing done and now 13 hours later the list has been completed.... luckily we have another one tmrw!!
    The truck was packed from last night, Molly and Deane were bang on time to pick up the mower and take it away. We bolted up to the recycle centre to offload the last lot, some of these items ultimately went to a great cause and were dropped off at Sal and Dugald’s a bit later when I dropped off my old laptops for use. Down to the shed to try to locate my walking poles whilst Kate dug out and CRC’d the shed doors was next on the list. Kate was successful, I was not!!
    Then she redrilled the bay doors so they could be secured.
    Next it was off home and Kate mowed whilst I packed away surplus bike gear and clothing that had been u packed over the past 5 weeks.
    At 12.05 we got a txt just as we were about to go to Moeraki that the guy to pick up a bike that was sold would be 1-2 hours so we dropped off at the Mactavish property, went to Fleurs for a speedy coffee which was just delightful in the sun- I wanted to mutiny and stay for the afternoon but it was not to be.
    Next it was a quick visit to Mike whose pelvises reportedly healing before we got a txt to say bike Phil was 10 mins away. We bolted home, sold the bike, had a quick lunch and then carried on with weeding and mowing.
    Next it was back to the shed to lay some wood under the chicken wire so it didn’t get swallowed back up by Mother Earth. After this was completed the next job was a bit sad but we had to make sure Fizz’s final resting place didn’t need clearing out - this sad job was made easier by Jess jumping in to prove it was an adequate size for the necessary job when the time comes!! Thanks Jess!!
    Back home it was more ground work and spraying before a lovely fresh dinner at Mary’s enjoying the glorious evening sun.
    At 7.30pm there was still time for another hour for K to finish spraying, laundry, sorting etc. We are now both knackered!!
    Sorry not many photos from today as just too busy!! Xx
