6 Wednesdays and it will be Christmas Eve. We’ll be writing 2026 before we know it.
Josh (Eddie’s boss) asked Eddie to work a bit longer in a new International truck he has just bought and we nearly said ok, but pulled ourselves up in time and said no. He was bribing us with free parking on a block of land he leases with great views out over the ocean. There is shed with water and power. He even said he would get me a washing machine.
On the 21st of November, Eddie is having an xray and scan on the shoulder he hurt when the truck deck crashed. After that we are going to be doing a bit of traveling towards Te Kaha.
I have put a strava app on my phone to measure the distances that I walk or bike. I have now discovered that the speedo on my bike isn't very accurate and when I thought I had biked 20 ks I had only done about 181/2. It's amazing the difference a GPS makes.
I walked past this tree the other day. I did a google search ( as you do) and I think it is a horse chestnut tree. Whatever it is, it is very impressive.
Eddie was talking to a camper on Sunday, who arrived on his bike, with a tent and not a lot else that I could see. He is from America and said he had biked around NZ 30 years ago and always wanted to do it again. The funny thing is he is finding the hills steeper and the wind stronger this time. I wonder why? He is still enjoying himself though.
