It was wet and cold on Monday morning. It was only 10 degrees at 1pm. We were snuggled up in our caravan with the heater on and the computers working hard. We had such a lovely sunny week last week, it's hard to believe how different it was.
Today we had what is our first frost for the winter. We didn't have any up north; just a lot of rain. The water pipe froze, but we were prepared with the jug full and some bottles of water ready for the morning. It was defrosted before it was time for showers and washing.
My cousin Adele and her husband Russell, came and stayed for 3 nights here in Matamata. We went out on our bikes twice. Once out towards Te Aroha and the second time around Matamata.
Her brother, David and his wife Stephanie came to visit us last Thursday. We haven't seen them for ages, so we had a good catch up with what everyone is doing.
Adele and Russell are heading south now, so we won't see them again for a while.
We were going to see friends on Saturday afternoon, but Valmae had a cold, so we are hoping to catch up next weekend.
On Monday morning I had morning tea with some tramping friends. We had lovely catch up. Swaps have built a new huge building with mechanics, COF area, offices and a lovely cafe, which is where we went. Very nice too. A lot of the staff use it instead of going into town to buy their morning tea or lunch.
We have had air springs put into the dodge. They get pumped up with air when we are towing, so the back of the truck has a bit more support to tow the caravan and it's nose isn't pointing skyward. We are looking forward to towing it on Tuesday, so we can see the difference.
Today a man is coming to do our self containment certificate that has to be done every 3 years. On Friday the electrical man is coming to do the same for our electrical certificate. We don't expect it to be a problem.
