I had a call from a lady called Eileen this morning. She got my number from some of the ladies who were doing a plant stall for the Lions on Saturday. She told them she was English and they told her about me being new over here and so she gave me a call. I like the Kiwis but I have to say it is so much easier to have a chat to a Pom! She is going back to UK next week on holiday and will contact me when she gets back. She has a son and daughter-in-law here and two grandchildren and so like Joan she thought they might as well retire here, seems to be the thing to do.
Bronwyn called me and we are going out for coffee tomorrow and then Alison called me and invited me over this afternoon for a cuppa and gave me a bag of feijoas to bring home so it doesn't look like I will have to buy them again as she has two huge trees and you just shake them and they fall off ready to pick up.
Jon has to go to Napier next Monday (4 hours by car) and I could go with him but he is not sure what time he will be back on Tuesday and it is the Lions meeting so I am not sure if I want to go with him or not. It will be another month before the Lions meet and so I don't really want to miss that. This is a tough one!
We had scallops for dinner tonight and they have them here with the pink bit on, "coral" I think it is called but we didn't like them so much as just the white bits so not sure if I would buy them again.
