A Wolf Man in the Making








They had a lovely day today - I say they, meaning me. Yesterday, the manageress at work, gave Mary a big speil about how They' had not left any towels upstairs and, even worse, had rolled the towels downstairs in a totally random manner. We thought she must mean the American snowboarders who had just been living there, but actually she meant us, the cleaners. Mary said she should have known that was what she meant as she has been called 'they' for the last 5 years. I reckoned a wee bit of slack could have been allowed as I had spent a great deal of time under beds hauling out rubbish, on account of the snowboarders not having picked up a thing behind themselves for two weeks, and had pinged M&M's around the place, and Sarsha was off kitchen duties to give Mary's shoulder a break, and had forgotten the special towel folding secret.

We will not be inviting her who can only call us they, to our dancing party on Tuesday.

We did a wee bit of work this morning, and Spook did a 60km road cycle to use up a bit of energy before meeting me for lunch and an afternoon mountain bike ride out west of Wanaka. We found this tail bone that looked like a wolf. We need to have as many wee adventures as we can before our temporary parting.

Spook has had some more ideas on his accomodation and fancies living in his tent. Each campsite has a different ambience and he reckons he could live around the town for his 4 days on and live wherever he fancies on his 4 days off. I will be at home, living the life of the struggling single mother and he will be painting an image of a man living on the edge.............

grateful for:

Time with my husband before he goes ferral

Sarsha coming round and cutting my hair
