Hard day on the old vacuum cleaner today. Got a lot of satisfaction from turning the builders yard into a show home. Took me one and a half hours just to polish up the bathroom! We arrived yesterday to find about 20 men whizzing about the place doing last minute jobs on the landscaping. Mary has another employee called Juliette. She's a design student from Christchurch. Very pretty. We heard today that there was a near disaster when the digger drive nearly drove through the house trying to get a better look at her. There was a lot of modern day Builders Bum out there. Skinny young hips trying to hold onto trousers suspended on lower buttocks. No flesh, just a lot of pants. And not Calvin Klein iether. Don't think Juliette even noticed them.
Spook came home just in time for a shower and out for pre-dinner beer. I met lot's of the names I hear him speaking about, and dinner was on the Company. His immediate Boss, Steve, jumped out an aeroplane in his lunch break - they could see the wee figure falling through the air. $300 for 17 minutes. I got a years family tennis membership for less than that. I enjoyed a couple of drams and then brought my young and bored son home for bed. Spook still out training. Should do well in the apres race event on Saturday.
