As Hilary does every Sunday, we cleaned the house, though not as well as she does! Junior does make a lot more mess, what is it about boys/men that creates dirt? Then I went shopping & then cooked ‘Family Dinner’ for us plus Adam, we had a nice time but it was a bit odd without Hilary. Then they wanted to watch a DVD, so I banished myself to the study to write this blog for last week, I know this is one of the reasons why Hilary doesn’t allow Junior to move in, she wouldn’t be able to call the house her own.
On Monday I drove back to Paekok, not sure why really, seemed like a good idea at the time! Needed more clothes anyway. Erola was late home as she was on a course with Porse, her nanny agency, but she then updated me on her week, she was only in one night. I left again Tues morning, but agreed to go back on Thursday for a Landmark Introductory, more later.
On Tuesday morning I met Wayne at my site, supposedly so he could show me exactly where the house was going to be positioned. But he didn’t have a tape measure with him & the site plan is wrong, so it was all very unsatisfactory. I also noticed that someone appeared to have taken a ‘chunk’ out of my section at the front, which goes down to the path through the reserve, so checked with the Carrus developers office, they said they’d get back to me. Returned to Tawa, Ali & I went into town to meet Gordon at Wagamama for lunch, when she tried to explain indirectly that she didn’t really want to go & stay with him once I go home on the 19th, very difficult! Then Ali & I went to Te Papa to see the Rita Angus exhibition, it’s really good, we thought most of the paintings were very impressive & it’s good to see her story explained. I think Ali is quite glad of the company since Junior is practising a lot for his performance at World Youth Day in Oz, when he goes to see the Pope.
On Thursday I said goodbye to Junior since I won’t see him again before I go back. He managed to fix Hilary’s printer/scanner so I sent off my application for the little house in Leighton Buzzard I hope to rent. Then I went back to Paekok for a walk along the beach and to try & sort out how to get some money to Emma to pay the rental agent for the referencing process. It’s not possible now in Nationwide without using the card-reader which I haven’t got, we didn’t think it was safe to send it by mail since I STILL haven’t got any post! In the end my ex leant it to me/Emma, it’s good to be the needy person for a change! I met up with Erola at Vicki’s house for the Landmark Introductory session. Landmark is an organisation which provides (very expensive) self knowledge education really, I won’t be doing it but it might be useful for Emma, will think about it once I’m home if I have any money at all! On Friday we cleaned the house thoroughly, I went to see Johannes in the afternoon because my shoulder is still very painful, though I’m hardly knitting at all. On Saturday Erola cooked, best I kept out of the way so I did some errands for her and cleaned the bathroom. It was her birthday, she ‘s 64 but doesn’t want anybody to know, I promised not to sing the obvious song at the party tomorrow! I took her out to dinner at the local Fisherman’s Table restaurant, we were hoping to get a table with a view of the waves, but got the car-park instead! It was a horrible day weather-wise, so not that disappointed really.
