You can never have enough...

morning ladies Typical Waikato... fog!

I remember as a seven-year-old crossing the Cook Strait with my parents and sister on the ferry. It was so rough, it felt like the ferry was hitting the bottom of the ocean before popping back up. Even the crew were being sick. We made it to Wellington and began the long drive home. Dad suggested we stop at a motel at Bulls but Mum (who always drove) said, no, let's keep going to Levin. On the news we saw the motel dad wanted to stay at under water and could barely see the top of the parked cars. We felt woozy for days after that trip. It was only years later I realised how worried Mum and Dad were as only three years previously the Wahine had sunk. And Mum, my sister and I were booked on the Wahine but my grandfather talked her out of going home as the weather was so rough.

The pump repair man called in yesterday to check the make and model of the pump and to see what he would need to order. He did say, 'I might have a second hand motor out back' so that sounded promising. Fingers crossed it will be repaired today.

Back to pruning when the fog clears a bit, not much more to do now.
