Maha, Mom, good luck with move.
Maha, Mom, good luck with move.
Its diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; its life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
Truck arrived today, all our gear is now in storage until Tuesday of next week. 12pm Monday we are out of here and heading home. We have moved into a room at the Motel until we finish.
Immediate plan is to not work for the rest of March, take things easy, potter around at home getting things in order, when it's fine ride the Triumph, visit a few Motels to secure some relief time... but more importantly, defrag our brains.
We have some work lined up already (Motel Relief Management) in Northland, and that work will continue for one week each month for the rest of the year.
Good to hear. Brains do need defragging periodically
I came through Mangakino on my way home the other week, looks like a nice spot![]()
Population... around 600, yeah it's a great place James, size does matter in this case![]()
seriously need a defrag but also need to make some sort of living.Well done and best of luck!
Had a night at the pub a couple of weeks back... really good fish and chips from the bar meals menu![]()
Yip really nice shark & tatty feed from there (takeaway also) the locals like a soft batter but ask for a crispy batter and they do it.
Be seeing you pilgrims darn thattaways sometime soon. Enjoy the break guys.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
This week has proved to be one of the hardest we have done here. Losing our dear friend 007XX has challenged us on a whole new level.
Today one of our staff has come in and worked all day for us (no pay for most of that time), meaning I could be off the counter to help Mark get his work finished early. We have been sitting in our room for the past hour relaxing! Relaxing at this hour of the day on a Sunday has never happened before here.
She did it to thank us for the opportunity we have given her here.
Only 2 lock boxes out tonight and hopefully no calls from the night phone and we are done
I found a bottle of wine on the desk today from a guest wishing us well.
All things being equal we should be on the road heading home by 12:05pm tomorrow. We officially hand over at noon![]()
Get thee gorn to the Mangakino place, rest and recuperate. Look after yourselves.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
Feel free to call in sometime and see the Lionsand enjoy your R&R
I have calculated that over the last year I have done about 5,500 loads of washing, go me Laundry Bitch.
Time to not do that anymore...![]()
Ha, just realised you're not moving to where I thought you were, calling in to see the Lions might take a little longer than I thought, but the offer's still there! Geography is obviously not my strongpoint
