Sunday 26th July: Another bright and sunny day after a sharp frost. The Waimate Aero Club had invited any members of the public to join them on their Dawn Raid. This seemed to be a variety of planes (about 20) coming from all over NZ doing touch-and-go manoeuvres and dropping 'bombs' of water on targets. All sounds very juvenile to me, so Steve and Greg had a great time! They then went off to fly their model planes off a public (but quiet) road outside Waimate.
Meanwhile the boys went to Sunday School and I picked up some food for lunch then we all went off to the new house to get some more tasks done. We were joined by Greg and Anna + 2 and Sharon and Gordon +3 and the children got busy collecting wood and pine cones while we concentrated on the house and immediately around it. Steve and Greg explored the water leak problem and then discovered a broken waste pipe under the ground so they got distracted solving that. The solution seemed to involve hiding the problem with a few bags of cement we found in the garage, but I'm sure there was more to it than that!
At the end of our time of the house a plumber came over and quickly solved the water inlet leak while the boys and I went home to get tea organised. We had duck I had been cooking in the slow cooker all day.
The photo shows the juxtaposition of the spa (good) and the concrete block building blocking any view from it (bad). I'm just looking for someone to lend me a sledgehammer....
