Little critters and pretty trees

I have a correction from last week. Our fresh water tanks only hold 160 litres and not 250. It was still a nice amount of water though. 

Because it has been cloudy the batteries haven't been fully charged for a while, Eddie decided to put the charger on,only to find it wasn't working. Oh no! A little bit of wailing and teeth gnashing ensued. It turned out he hadn't connected the earth wire when he was re assembling after the wall repair. Whew!

That was the most exciting thing that has happened all week.

Eddie has been busy creating shelves to put our little friends on. From top to bottom they are Cecil the lion, Harvey Oswald Grainger (HOG), Bronski Bear and Lost Bear. The one on its own on the other wall is Canada. I bought Cecil around about the same time as the brave dentist from America shot an almost tame lion, like he was some sort of hero; We got Harvey when we had a Harley; Bronski was given to Eddie by our daughter when he had leukemia in 1994. I am not sure why he is called Bronski. It was just the name Eddie thought of when he saw him; I found Lost Bear one day when I was biking to work and he was lying on the side of the road, looking quite forlorn. How could I not pick him up. Canada was given to us by a Canadian girl we had boarding with us many years ago. Eddie used to call her Canada as a bit of a nick name. He is a bald eagle

We still have Browning of course. He sits on a shelf beside the printer. His companion is a soft toy blood drop that I got one day when I was giving blood. I have asked that one of the shelves is moved so it looks more balanced (and Canada isn't on his own ha ha)

Eddie has also re organized the batteries in the front locker, so that there is more room and our Engel freezer is in there now. He made new batteries covers and that is where the little shelves came from as he had some left over wood.

The sides of the van are almost polished. He still has some of the slide out wall to do. We have had some gloomy days, so the wall has been too damp to polish. Very typical Waikato days with foggy mornings and not a lot of sun through the day.

The driveway is looking very pretty at the moment with the trees all changing colour.
