Friday 28th September
I was up early but managed to only move from my bed to the study for the first half of the day.
I got caught there!
I was planning on heading to the spa and then having breakfast but all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with business calls and emails and stuff that had to be done.
Then once I got through all of that Ross called up and we spent the rest of the morning on the phone and internet getting the gst sorted.
I've been doing this job for over 25 years and he is having to learn it in a few weeks/months.
Quite a bit to get his head around.
He is learning fast which is great.
And we also think alike which makes things easier!
While I was busy I sent the girls up to to the wwoofers hut - to make beds and sort through all the work clothes.
Shanni did a great job and brought down and large box of throwaways.
'Tardis' arrived mid-morning.
Tim and Noel spent some time getting the wharf sorted - moving bags of ropes around, generally tidying up and making things more orderly.
Mandy ran up to see me.
I hurriedly whizzed through the bathroom and threw on my clothes and made myself slightly more decent.
She didn't stay long as they had work to do.
The day has been very stormy so it hasn't been a particularly pleasant day for working.
Ross and I finally got the gst finished and filed - what a relief!
I finally had my breakfast just before midday and sat in the sun in my art corner to eat & read my book.
Or at least I tried to but kept on getting interrupted.
Just needed some head space after the intense morning but I wasn't going to get it so gave that idea up pretty quick
Tim and the children had their lunch and then headed out to do some mustering and tailing.
I finally had my lunch at around 4:30pm.
I got all the veges done for dinner and put them in the oven to roast before I sat to eat.
The mailboat had been so I read the papers while I took 5.
Graham called to say the hospital is going to chuck him out tomorrow.
Unfortunately it is all down to money and they cannot afford for him to stay in the hospital for as long as he should
He heard murmurings of them sending him to a halfway house so he got onto it fast and found a place with a friend that the Drs were happy with.
He has to stay within close cooee of medical help.
The first place he was invited to stay was half an hour from town and they would not allow that.
Despite the place he is going to now being in Motueka, because it is close to the community hospital they were happy with that.
Just has to give his spleen time to heal properly.
I have dinner all ready but Tim and Mahalia have gone off round to Te Kopi to visit Olly.
They seem to be making a habit of this lately so dinner is getting later and later.
I guess once day light saving begins on Sunday dinner wont be late anymore
Well, at least for a week or three.
The southerly is pounding the beach tonight.
There is an incredibly bright full moon shining over the trees at the moment.
Methinks it might be a good night for a spa later.
