Eddie was pleased to have only a 3 day week last week. The weather forecast for this week isn’t too good, so he will have a short week again. Some jobs are weather dependent, so there is no work on those days. He got home on Monday at 1 pm. He went to Tauranga and came back with a digger. That was his day, done. He had put down his window and it began to rain. Unfortunately, the window wouldn't go up and the rain was pouring in. He had to stop and put his raincoat on. On his trip home the wind had changed and so, the rain kept coming in the window. He was very wet when he got home. So far he hasn't worked this week because of the weather. We are well over the rain, that's for sure.
I went for a walk on Monday, trying to get between the showers, but it rained on me when I was out. I learnt that my raincoat is no longer waterproof. Bother! When I think about it, it’s probably 15 years old, so it has done rather well. I bought it when I first went tramping, so I don’t think it owes me anything. A new one is on the list.
We found an ant invasion over the weekend. They came in the back wall somehow and were making their way around the van towards the front, just where the wall meets the ceiling. We got to them just before they got to the pantry, so that was good timing. We are still finding the odd one, but not a stream of them as before.
We have been wondering how the flies were getting in too. Eddie was outside saw two enter the vent for the fridge and disappear. Today we went to Bunnings and got some fly screen and glued it to the fridge vent. Hopefully we have solved that problem.
We had to buy a new umbrella this week too as the old one won't stay up unless you hold it in place. It's another thing that doesn't owe us any money as we have had it for ages.
I had a quick walk yesterday as it was sunny and seemed to good to waste. The high tide has been across the road a bit over the last few days.
