Thursday 28th February
I stayed in bed most of the morning.
Spent a long time talking with Phillipa.
I am not finding it easy to make calls so calls from close friends are good.
The kids are fielding calls when they can so I can decide who I can manage to talk to at that moment
Sometimes I am fine but other times I just cannot do it.
I think Cat took the girls & Ross out grubbing again.
When I surfaced I discovered that Ross & Lenore were packed up and heading home.
Lisa & Tamara came and asked if they could have a ride to Havelock so they went off to pack their gear.
We talked some more while the girls got ready.
Thanks for being here you two - really love and appreciate your quiet, loving support.
Before they all left Cat took us up to show us her hut.
Lenore & I took a moment to sit quietly in the cool on her decking under the trees.
Love this backdoor area she has created.
This is looking up from where we were sitting.
There is an outdoor bath tucked in to the trees on the right - nice
Inside the girls were talking.
Adina, Lisa & Tamara - lovely lasses.
Cat & Murray at the entrance to her cave bed.
Outside, more chatting in the sunshine while Leann checked out their garden.
On the way down the path I found this flower.
It was just such a clear yellow and perfect set off amongst the dark foliage.
Ross & Lenore and the girls loaded into the car and we waved them off.
Michael spent the previous day and most of today getting my Safari out.
He used his digger and winched it up from tree to tree.
It was delivered to the top of our hill.
Here it is beside Tim's Safari, which has been parked up for the past year waiting for work to be done and Graham got going for us after the funeral.
Just a few slight differences now eh
The kids will strip it of what is still worth using - not that there is much I reckon.
But they wanted it back.
The main reason I wanted it gone from the site is because we have to drive past it each time we go out and I didn't want the reminder and the knowledge that it was still down there.
Everyone came over from Waterfall for dinner again.
It was their last night so I wanted to make the most of the time together.
I spent some time with Jesika & Evan talking over a few wedding plans.
It is all coming together well.
I had a long talk with Nathan as to what he should do and would like to do re going back to work.
He decided he wanted to go back with J&E the next day.
He has supportive friends, great workmates and bosses so I am sure he will be okay.
