Took Totty out for her walk this morning and delivered flyers to the end bit of the street that I had missed so just the Maungatapu Road to do now and then that is all for this area. Met my old Liverpudlian man in the park, I wish I knew his name! We were chatting about house prices here and in the UK, They have been here for 35 years and would not go back. The binman swa doing the rounds so Totty was shaking at my feet, I don't know why she dislikes the binman.
Came back and did lots of housework, Selena, the owner is coming on Friday afternoon to pick up some more things from her cupboard. This cupboard goes under the stairs and must be huge as she seems to have taken lots from it but there is still more. As it is locked I have no idea how much is left. It would be really good if we could eventually use it as we are running out of space and will need more when Heather comes out.
I cleaned the shower and all the little fiddly bits of trim on the door. How can showers get so dirty? I think we might get a man in to clean the glass door and panel as I have used everything to try and get the spots and water stains off but nothing works.
Jon came home for lunch and then I went back to a bit more cleaning then I watched Neighbours before taking Totty out for her afternoon walk.
When I got back I prepared Jon's dinner and then got ready for Lions. I picked Janice up and we were there in record time as there was very little traffic. Dinner was really good tonight, they had cooked a huge ham and had some really good salads to go with it. There was also fish and roast beef in gravy and some really good vegetables. For pudding there was fresh fruit salad, Pavlova, cheesecake and fruit crumble and custard.
The speaker was a young chap, 34 who had been in the NZ Air Force and serving in Perth in 2003 when he fell from the third floor of a building (he can't remember anything from the two years before the accident but has been told he had been drinking) he hit the concrete and had multiple fractures to his face and skull and all his left leg. Against all the odds he is now back talking, walking and living life. His speech is often mixed and he has to think hard to find some words but he is an inspiration and wants to speak to more people to tell them not to give up, amazing and very emotional.
Jon was watching Dr Who when I got home, the only chance he has to watch it is when I am at Lions. He had lit the fire so it was nice and warm. We are at the stage of lovely sunny days but cold nights and mornings.
Jon is going to Auckland tomorrow and has to leave at about 7.00 and won't be back till Thursday evening so I will need to keep myself busy.
