Nelson catch up

Sometime since I have contributed here, life just seems to be busy .....same for us all I guess.

Tracey has just retuend tonight froma geography camp ayt lake Roto-iti, seems like there was as much fun as work, but she did folow the rules and hand her cell phone in at night! she was the on ein her group who waded into the Buller River to get samples of gravel etc from the bottom, seems to think she had numb feet all day after that!!
This weekend we start the ball gown shopping mission.........it will be interesting....... she has lots iof ideas, including me making her a gown, which I may do depending on the complexity of what she wants..... we have six weeks to get organised so watch this psace.

Managed only one day in Palmerston North last week due to Nelson airport being closed by fog, missed Jeff in Palmerston due to lack of time! This week was looking quiet for me at work but got to work on monday morning to find the caretaker's resignation on my table...he only stated two weeks ago...anyone out there looking for work?? Then our Admin officer only worked Monday as her mother in law died........ the rest of the week looks good, but let's not talk too soon!!

Beautiful autumn days here, yesterday was warm but today a crisp! Have planted many many feesias due to a buying spree on Trade Me, like winning all you bidded for!! A lesson learnt!!...Ashley are you still wanting some, I will post them this weekend if you do.

Amy is 19 on Friday
......I believe there is some serious partying planned...hope the birthday box arrives on time!!


Night work in the apples finishes this week for Willie....they were all told onMonday that here would be no more work come Friday, a bit out of the blue as last year they worked until mi June. He will quite enjoy some nights home now that the temperature has coled off....we keep findinghim jobs fromthe local paper but the repsonses are not always positive....probabl;y because of the type of jobs we fins....sous chef, livein housekeeper, panel beater etc.....!! Maybe I should pass him the application form for the Brightwater caretaker!!

Mum and dad will be over later on Saturday to play bowls on Sunday....guess I'll get to cook the Mothers' Day dinner and birthday dinner all in one! Thouight I would send my some flowers on Wednesday for her 75th birthday, anyone else interested in adding their name on the senders card?

Am skyping some friends as I write this........ modern tecnolgoy id interesting....has anyone seen the youtube video clip called shift...I can email it to you if you want to see it .....it contains some interesting bits and pieces about change...... light hearted but some things to think about

Best wishes to all

Janice
