Monday & Tuesday

Monday was a big washing day due to all the bad weather last week I had a mountain and apart from that all I did was write emails to people, what a boring day but it has to be done.

I was chatting to one of my neighbours and she told me she had called round last week as she had made a batch of scones and wanted to invite me and another neighbour, Lisa, who I have not met yet. She didn't get a reply so she left it. I told her the bell does not work and she needs to knock on the door and the dog will bark. Shame really as that would have been nice. Jon has now bought some batteries for the bell, that was all it needed!

Today was a lovely day again and walking Totty this morning was lovely, clear blue skies again.

I had my hair cut this morning by the same guy I have used since I got here but now instead of going over to Bronwyn's house I go to the salon where he has a chair. It was nice to have it washed properly and then cut and dried and he has done a really good job on it and it looks all fluffed up and bouncy but it won't look like that tomorrow!

I bought a new pair of jogging pants today and a top together with a yoga mat. - why? Well I phoned up a lady who runs low impact exercise classes and I go for my first one tomorrow. I am also trying to sort out some yoga classes. I hope that when I come off my HRT I won't have the pains in my joints that I had last time I tried to come off them and hopefully these exercises will help. They are $5 per class which is about £2 - very cheap.

The lady who lives in the bungalow next door had three trees felled in her garden today, one was old and had already had a branch break off the other two she just didn't think were in the right place. It looks a bit bare over there now. It took three men two hours to cut them down, shred what they could and prune all her shrubs and tidy up afterwards, pretty impressive workmanship!

It has gone a bit cooler again tonight and the South Island is very cold and they are having lots and lots of snow down there brrr.
