The sun is still shinning. We had a bit of rain last Monday, which was great, but not enough of course. There was a scrub fire late last week, but not near us.
Eddie has passengers on the rubbish run at the moment. Nita's niece and her family are staying here and her daughters go with Eddie as well as one of the office lady's children. What with Chaka the dog, Ricky and himself, there is quite a load hanging on to the quad and trailer.
It was milkshakes madness at one day last week at the shop. I served and the young girl working with me, made milkshakes. She must have made about 25 in an hour. We ran out of milkshake cups, so we were making them in coffee cups, until the milk was getting a bit low. Once the milkman came, we were back into them. There was lolly madness too of course, but that's par for the course. We ran out of lollies a week or so ago. You would have thought the kids had had their throats cut. We were like the pub with no beer ha ha.
The shop is only open 12 – 2 for the rest of this week. We are full for Waitangi weekend, so it will be busy then. Then the shop will be closed until Easter.
I am going to be tidying up the gardens after the next weekend. There shouldn't be too many weeds as there has been no rain. Eddie will still be doing his maintenance thing. We will be here until Easter is over and then we will work out when we are leaving to do a bit of traveling again.
This is the camping ground full on Waitangi weekend. The 3 skips are full of bottles from the whole of the summer break.
The kids enjoy sliding down this hill, either on their boogey boards or bits of cardboard they take out of the recycling.
Along side the hedge is the flying fox which gets a lot of use too.
