I have delegated her to cook supper so am blogging early evening. I forgot to last night!
Aren't some people so kind. If you have been reading comments you will have seen that Bridget has offered us her piano. We are looking to upgrade ours as Harriette is taking her piano more seriously now and ours is very old. We have decided to decline though as getting to view it was going to be difficult, it sounds as if it is rather older than what we are looking for and I am conscious about keeping the one we have looked at on hold for much longer. It seems a good buy and I don't want to loose the opportunity to have it. It restores ones faith in human nature when faced with such generosity.
Alice has 'slapped cheek syndrome'. Poor mite she looks dreadful. Slapped cheek syndrome, or Fifth Disease as it is more correctly called, is (so I am informed by the GP) an allergic reaction to a virus she had a week ago. It looks like a horrendous rubella rash and she is covered, with a classic redness across the cheeks that looks like she has been slapped. She is not sick or infectious but itches terribly. We were due to go into Hamilton on Sat to look at said piano and then on to The Stokes but had to take Alice to the doctors as I had run out of Vallergan (and didn't know what she had). WHY does Alice always have to get sick at the w/e when doctors visits are more expensive?!
We eventually got to Glen Murray and had a good day with J and K. They are coming to terms with unemployment and have sorted themselves out now. Kev could not do anymore to find work. I just hope things come right sooner rather than later. Needless to say they are dreading Xmas. Whilst there Juliet and I went to their neighbour Judy who has 6 choc lab puppies, 6 weeks old. Can you believe it - I left my camera at home!!!! I don't need to say how cute they were do I! We timed our visit, coincidentally, with the last few minutes of the Waikao v Taranaki match which was gripping. We won which secured us a place in the NPC semi-finals. Came back and told Eric and Kev who were miffed as they thought the match was in the evening! Go Waikato! Juliet and Kev are a little concerned that Judy and Ian are subdividing their farm more. land ajoining to them will be sold and their unadulterated views may have houses put on them, just 1 or 2 but at the moment they can see for miles in every direction and look only at hills and a lake. Spent the day eating and generally having a nice time. Hannah is heaps better since going dairy free and was a pleasure. The kids all got on and we had a lovely relaxing day.
Eric is supposed to be gib stopping but keeps diving outside with his rifle to shoot rabbits. I am torn between wanting my office finished and not wanting rabbits eating my veg! Nil else to report. Will go and check on supper! Just heard on the news that Christopher Reeve has died. How terribly sad. No other details at the moment.
