It seemed like a good price…if you’re into that kind of thing.
trimming the trees in the parents driveway.

It was a blaaardy hot day today. But, the drive needed doing. The parents were very pleased. Mum gave me a little hand, but she had to shoot off into town for a hairdressing appointment. I was really pleased with what I did. The folks are getting too old for this type of thing. I got a little burnt. My arms are sore. I forgot to put on some suntan lotion of course. I was pretty tired after doing all this and I didn’t look forward to taking it off of the Ute (Pick-up for you Yanks). Reason being, because I also had a full trailer to empty as well.
Much to my surprise, when I got to the rubbish tip, a guy running the grader dragged the organic rubbish off of both the trailer and the Ute. It would have taken me ages. Putting the plant rubbish on the Ute and trailer is the easy part. Getting it off sucks.
I was so pleased I didn’t have to do that. Big ups to the rubbish tip guy (Wish I had the foresight to take a photo).
Actually, what’s interesting to me is that although Rio is generally so much hotter, I can walk around all day and not get sunburnt. New Zealand definitely has stronger UV rays. Slip, slop, slap people. Slip on a T-shirt, Slop on some sunscreen and Slap on a hat.
My Darling,
I am missing you so….
And I am here, in my little single bedroom listening to the same nice Paradiso radio songs we listened together.
I sent you a msg in your mobile, but you didnt reply so I hope your afternoon is going well.
I wish you were here with me, my Husband. I love you.
