Busy Busy Busy

 

The park is full and we are busy. 

I am in the shop every morning and Eddie is doing at least 2 loads of rubbish every day. He has a local boy helping him. People can't seem to tell the difference between green, brown and white bottles for the skip bins and put their rubbish in them too. 

The other mystery is how many lollies do kids need???? One boy came back 3 times yesterday for them. I don't think I have so sold many in such a short space of time.

The weather is still dry, but doesn't seem to be so warm. The other day there was a cool wind blowing. It has quite put us off going for a swim. Today is hotter and not so windy. There is now a total fire ban in Northland after a scrub fire near Arapahi today.

We had a nice few days with Abbey,( our granddaughter) even though she sat on Eddie's couch in his favourite position in the evening. We had a nice dinner one evening at the local pub. We took Nita and Helen too. Helen is working here and is Nita's sister in law.

We forgot Abbey needed a mask to wear on the bus, but luckily they had one at the information centre that opened just before the bus left. No mask no ride, so that could have been tricky. She would have had to travel with Eddie's clean hanky tied around her nose.

I hope Christmas was good for you all. We had a nice lunch with Nita and her family who are staying here and working in the takeaways. The weather was good so we sat outside and dined al fresco.
