Ha ha……………..fooled the bin men this morning! I took the bins out last night about 10.30pm. I did have a quick look up and down the street, but it seems the Kiwis would prefer to put theirs bins and recycling out first thing in the morning. To be honest, if I was working I might do the same, but while I’m not they can go out the night before and run the risk of the local possums ripping them apart…….

Found a couple of new job opemings this morning, even if one of them is Fujitsu! Spent a lot of the day filling out application forms and writing cover letters – amazing how many you build up!

I was surfing around whilst looking for jobs and noticed that Keith from Saints had appeared on Facebook – accepted his facebook friendy thing and ended up having a lovely facebook chat. I do miss the office, and more so the people in it, sometimes…………..

Gave up with jobs about 2pm and went out on the deck again to read – alcohol free this time, which is obviously more than I say about Louise!!

We were soaking up the rays in the quiet afternoon when we heard a knock at the front door. Apart from nearly falling off my chair, I walked around the side of the cttage to find a woman with a floral display in her arms……………..for us! Thanks very much indeed Margaret, John, Steve, Chrissie, Jack and Sam xx

I was going to go shopping for some “”much-needed victuals”” but decided that alcohol and sunshine was a far better idea!
