We were both awake early again this morning and the phone rang and it was Kirsty. I quickly showered and washed my hair while she spoke to Jon. I had an appointment with the osteopath and I thought if I start speaking to Kirsty before I am ready I would have been very late!! As it was i rushed out of the house with just enough time to make it.
Another lovely massage on my back which is feeling much better. I have an appointment for when I get back.
When I got back Jon was out walking up the Mount again and having coffee. He is getting very bored and really needs a job, he is too young to retire. Not sure how he is going to cope once back in UK we can't be going on holidays forever!!
I did some things around the house, washing and getting my clothes out for going away. It is hard to decide what to take as the days are hot but the mornings and evenings are cold but of course, it could all be different down there.
I went off to have my 'non surgical face lift' which was a voucher I had bought some months ago. The salon was over in Bethlehem around the back of the most beautiful house.
I had to fill in a form and the beautician explained the procedure to me and it all sounded quite technical and a bit scary.
I got myself comfy on a very nice heated bed and she set to on my 'lovely English complexion' - her words not mine!!! It was an odd sensation but very relaxing and ended with a very thick face mask which peels off like something out of Phantom of the Opera!! All in all it was a very nice experience and three treatments are recommended but not sure I can stretch to three!!
I got home and Jon was just having lunch and I had mine. His 'knock' for the day was that Mark had been down to the port to have a talk with the operators and amongst other things he said 'we don't need an English man telling us what to do'. Strange how he wanted the English man to tell them what to do for over four years. I wonder if he is aware that he now has an 'English woman' telling him what to do and boy is he being taken for a ride and I hope in a few years to come he does the same to her as he has done to Jon. Bitter? - yes!!
We spent the afternoon sorting our cases out and we had a cup of tea.
I went in to speak to Edwina and David and to ask them to take the post out of our box and hold on to it for us. I stayed and had a chat with them. David told me the same thing had happened to him after working for a company for 30 years he was out overnight!!
We are expecting our passports to be returned with our new visas and so I had to phone the post office in Maungatapu to ask Glen, the postmaster, to hold on to them till we get back as they are usually returned to sender after five days and we don't want or have the time for that to happen.
I brought our post in and we have a letter from the agent saying we have an inspection on 18 of this month. I checked and our last one was on 28 February but on reading the letter it says a 'maintenance inspection'. Not sure why this can't be done at the same time as the 'house inspection' no wonder the agent has no time. I am not very happy about it as we will be away and they let themselves in and I really don't like that but that is the way it is.
I finished the packing and cleared the fridge and got out food stuff ready to take with us. We will do the same as we did at Easter and take breakfast things with us as we don't want to have to go out for breakfast everyday or I will be the size of a house when I get back!!
We had dinner and watched a bit of TV and now I am going to have an early night as we have a long day tomorrow starting with Jon's appointment with the surgeon at 8.50 and ending with dinner at the Crazy Horse in Wellington!! Oh and an eight hour drive in between not to mention leaving Totty at the kennels :-(
Not sure how much blog I will get done over the next few weeks. It might just be a line or two if I can log in.
WEATHER
Cold start again but then sunny and warm 21 degrees.
