We did our usual walk this morning and then in the afternoon we went to see friends Robin and Lorraine for afternoon tea, cheese and biscuits, sweet biscuits and some delicious home made scones. As previously mentioned Robin was a set designer and producer for Thames TV and he spent some years behind the scenes of ‘The Bill’ a popular police drama. It would also appear that Mike our friend from Wey Road also knows somebody from the same show.
Anyway, first thing in the morning we were disturbed to receive the following email from Mike with regard to him taking our Land Cruiser for a drive
Hi Folks
Joanne dropped the keys round today. As we had to go to the Woking branch of Travis Perkins anyway, we gave her a spin.
I must say, it's a superb vehicle, and we were delighted with the amount of bricks and bags of cement we could stuff into the back. Pauline says that colour-back will get the scratches off, and we can chip the hardened cement off when it dries.
Overdid it a tad though - we had to force the back flap down a bit, but Autoscreen does a good job these days. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
Found getting back into the garage a bit tight. Did you say your maintenance man was coming back sometime? There's a little bit of brickwork that needs to be put back.
We believe he was joking, well we hope so anyway.
Boy did it rain hard again tonight and we hope that it is better tomorrow as we are going to the Mangonui Christmas Parade.
