Awesome day in paradise,early morning frost gave way to glorious sunshine-not a cloud in the sky!!
Work still feels long as I am going up early and having breakfast there,which is fine as because of holidays there is not much action in the house in the mornings.
Came home and went straight out round the Hawea loop on the road bike which was magic but I was attacked by very angry magpies!!!! twice!!!!! they must be nesting.I asked Chris about them and he said he would contact the police and have them delt with.An Aussie bird,I should have known!!!!!!!! They have problems wtih them every year and as some of the cops are cyclists it gets sorted very quickly.He says some of the riders stick false eyes on the back of their helmets and that is meant to keep them away.
I am planning to go to Gore on Wednesday and also hook up with Robbie as she heads back North after Invercargill !
Ah, Spooky - dogs and horses here, Magpies over there.
The children saw around the school today, which was just a re-introduction for Meg. The staff were lovely and very accomodating. There is a new member of staff who has played rugby to quite a serious level, and is keen to strum up more numbers. Great news for Finn. When the new sports facility is competed, it will be the best in the Highlands. They are very excited about it. The children are now having a relaxing couple of days with their friends all at school, until they have 3 days school before the break up for the holidays. That will be a gentle start.
It is hard to get things done quickly in town as there are so many people asking how we all are. The town looks shabby, but the library has been done up. I was thinking I could get a job picking up the rubbish. Possibly Council cutbacks, but I don't remember it looking so bad. and of course, graffiti on the underpass. Quite a contrast to Wanaka. I think of that nice man, Ryan, cycling about on his bike and cart, dedicated to the cleansing of the town. WE do have a big blue wheely bin that gets picked up once a month for the recycling. That is progress. But I wish I could take all the contents of the stored back room straight to Wastebusters. We can't possibly need it.
Finn has seen a couple of rabbits on the croft which has made his trigger finger twitch. Some of his friends adoring parents will struggle with that bloodthirsty new outlook - not what is generally associated with our gentle son.
