The farmers in Hawkes Bay area have been having a lot of trouble due to lack of rain so the rain today has been most welcome. However, it didn't have to last that long!
It was really heavy through the night and this morning but eased off at about 2.00. I didn't get much washing done today.
I went to meet my "client" for Age Concern but when I got to the house and rang the bell nobody answered. I decided to wait in the car for the coordinator to turn up in case the old lady was nervous about opening the door to strangers.
I waited for 25 minutes and decided that she was not going to turn up so I left. I have called her and left a message on her phone so I will have to wait and see what happened. I called Viv, the English lady that did the induction day with me, and she thinks the coordinator is a waste of space and I am starting to agree with her but I will give her a chance to explain and see what she has to say but we feel we are wasting our time.
It did give me the opportunity to get back and read my book which I am really into at the moment!
One thing that happened today which was quite amusing. I needed petrol, the first time I have had to fill it up since I got my car. I had to choose the day the that the man who usually fills up the cars had off so had to do it myself. The problem was to find out how to open my petrol flap. I had to look all over the car before I found it, on the floor by the drivers seat, just as well the petrol station was quiet or my face would have been very red! Well it is full again now so that should last me another six or seven weeks!
