Mary's natural Kiwi reserve, does not do posing for camera's!! She was far more fluid on the dance floor, while Sarsha and I pounded off in all the wrong directions. It was good fun. We thought we would be all limbered up for work, but we had to drag our sorry butts around our duties, and couldn't be sure how much the rain was dragging us down, or if it was our over-worked limbs. I have a very sore wrist and a lump has appeared just below my hand. I'm thinking it is arthritis and doesn't like the damp - I'm not sure if I am suited to wet climates. It was ok yesterday. Too much cleaning is the other theory.
The cyclone that was earlier predicted is thinking about coming along and ruining our trip to Lake Ohau. It looks like it may arrive at the weekend. With 6 boys in tow, I don't think we want to get housebound up there. Not that it would be any better with 6 girls. Anne is trying to find out if she can re-schedule for a couple of weeks time. Spook still wouldn't be able to go and Meg and I might not get that day off, so it's a shame after all this great weather and telling you all how it nearly never rains out here. It has continued to rain most of the day. Maggie and I are going to 'do' lunch tomorrow as I can get a half day off, but probably wont head out of town if it is still wet. It will probably be my last chance to meet up with her before she heads off. Then we will have to wait until she and Mike get to Scotland.
I can see Spook checking out cabins and sleep-outs as the rain batters on the roof.
grateful for:
the bedrooms being warmer now so that the children actually leave the room now and then. I daresay it is all been good practice for living in a caravan again.
