Russell finally got his drone back to the shop and they sent it away to be looked at. They said it needed a new dome on the top where the GPS components live.. He got it back on Tuesday and it was not any better. It chased Eddie a bit when it was going every where. It crashed into the sand several times. He going to get a new one when they get more in the country; late July early August.
It was a beautiful day on Saturday, so Adele and I went for a walk. It was lovely to have no rain for a whole day. It hasn't happened a lot lately.
On Sunday, I went for a walk by myself. I mentioned to Adele I would like to walk to the end of Pataua North beach as I haven't done that yet. She didn't seem to be too keen, so I went by myself. It was hard work walking on the sand, as there weren't very many hard patches down at the low water mark. I took my sneakers off and walked in bare feet. Some of the sand was quite coarse, so that was a bit hard on the soles of my feet. My right foot got tired too. That is the one I had the plantar fasciitis in.
At the end of the beach there is a little stream and a rocky peninsular. I saw a pair of dotterels too.
I didn't take a picture of the dotterels as I didn't think it would come out very well.
When I came back I went up the first stairway to the road, so that I didn't have walk along the beach for so long. My foot were much happier in my shoes. A short distance is ok, but not a long one. When I got back home I had done 9.1 ks, so I was very pleased with my effort. Adele said she didn't think she was ready for such a long walk yet, so I will have to do that one on my own.
Eddie took the truck in to have the muffler done for the COF on Friday. They picked up a small hole in the exhaust pipe, but when the mechanic got underneath to have a look there were 6 more in the muffler. So $1000 later we are all hunky dory underneath. It went to the garage to have some bushes done for the COF too.
The new buyer was here for a meeting with Nita on Saturday. He was here all afternoon. We thought he was going to come and talk to us, but he didn't come near. We don't think we want to work for him anyway now. We might look for something over the summer as it is harder to get somewhere to stay over the summer break when everyone is on holiday and the prices are a lot more. Working for Nita here is fine, but it will be odd being here with someone else in charge.
We booked our accommodation at the Blue Heron at Parua today for when Katrina is here. Only a month to go yay! We were going to go to the POP at Parua, but we may not be able to get out of here, if the weather doesn't improve soon and they are all camping on a hard area there at the moment for the same reason, so we might not be able to fit in anyway. It is easier to go to the motel. It will make a nice change too. Just like a holiday ha ha.
It has rained all day yesterday, without a break. That doesn't happen very often. We usually have a bit of a break in the weather. I didn't even go outside. I hope it is better tomorrow. We are really over the rain. There is so much mud around the place.
I remember a poem I learnt a long time ago.
Whether the weather be cold,
or whether the weather be hot
whether the weather be fine
or whether the weather be not
We must whether the weather
what ever the weather
whether we like it or not.
Eddie caught 2 snapper on Wednesday. He is trying his luck again today. It is so nice and sunny, it's hard to believe how wet it was yesterday. That is until you walk outside and squelch across the lawn.
I went to the doctor on Tuesday. He thinks the UTI infection was a bit resistant to the antibiotics, which is why it kept coming back. He did blood tests and another urine test. So far so good.
