Before we left Thornton, Eddie did his heavy truck medical that he has had to do since his heart attack back in 2015 or 16. (Not sure now). The doctor said that it was ridiculous and he shouldn't have to do it according to the regulations. She put a note on the medical to that effect and on Friday Eddie got an email to say that he didn't have to do it anymore, but thank you for complying. He was very pleased and it will save us is $50 or so a year. Big thanks to Dr. Johnson at the Edgecumbe Medical Centre.
I held a fantail in my hand on Saturday. Someone had left the door open at the Ranch house and I found it in the lounge, when I went up to do the washing. I tried to persuade it to fly out the door, but it wouldn’t go. It was fluttering up against the window and I was able to hold it gently in my hand and take it to the door. It felt so fragile and soft. It flew off with a lot of chirruping as it went. No doubt it was pleased to be outdoors again.
The awning that rolls up above the lounge slide out has shredded really badly. Eddie took it off moand we are going to took it to a canvas maker in Greytown this week. We replaced the one above the bedroom slide out when we were in Matamata. Funny how they wore out differently. They were both original when we bought the van. I think the wind here has finally finished off the one above the lounge slide out.
Eddie also took off the handle beside the door we use to hold on to when we are going in and out. It was going rusty and not looking very nice. He rubbed it down, took off the rust and repainted it. It looks much nicer now.
