Went up Wednesday so I could get on with the Boyd committee research. It was blowing a gale and showery, and Fitzy and I had a blustery walk to peek around to the rocks at the quiet side. Then we got stuck in to painting the back inside wall in the bach - I wanted to leave evidence of the original colours! Fitzy found it all very boring.
Barbie and Charlie came over Friday and squished into a corner while we worked - ALL the books off the bookshelves and all the other junk - beds etc, were inside cos it was a showery day! Anyway, it was lovely to see them - Charlie's growing so quickly - now running round and being very confident. Painting again on Saturday, and sorting and replacing books. Chucked heaps out. But lots of rellies were up (which I hadn't expected) and they came for cuppas, so again a bit slow on the work side - Phil kept on with it. Oh, and Dave & Cyn came down to inspect the new paint as well - Dave says it looks like primer. But everyone else likes it. Especially me, tho it's lost that patchy bach look.
Sunday, daylight saving started, so a big sleep in. The little whanau came over to visit again - nice and sunny - summer's here. But water was freezing. Larry knows cos he had an impromptu swim, chasing after his remote-controlled yacht that got caught in the tide!
So we had a relaxed morning in and around a spick'n'span bach with a flash new wall. Charlie and Fitzy are friends now - Charlie fed him a biscuit (accidentally) and patted him on the head (on purpose) Then we headed home about 2.30pm. Great that Barbie offered to do the last tidy/sweep for us! That felt weird. Grandad approves the new paint. So does Mum.
