With Roger Fuertes
Bing, Bebe, papaya tree & Jun
I pressure hosed the patio and raised beds in the back garden on Monday. Jun and Bebe from Florida called yesterday morning, and we later joined them for a lunch reunion of her family. Here they are in the allotment. We need to support that papaya tree or it will fall down. Roger Fuertes, an ex pro boxer, was there helping with the cooking. Paul, who painted the house two years ago, is here with a couple of lads to wash the paintwork. We went to the day care centre to show the kids Adam's video of Bing's visit last year. In the afternoon Lorie, Sarah, Meilor, Kirsten, and their son Arun and Kirsten's mother called in. So no work yesterday. At 7pm there was another brownout, the second in two days. Water levels are low at the hydro electric plants, caused, apparently, by El Nino. As it's dark at 6.30pm we use our laptops by candlelight till the batteries fail, sit on the balcony in the moonlight, and go to bed early and read by torchlight.
