Wednesday:
Even though it is just spring and we have had several grey or rainy days, the solars are doing their job - heating the hot water most of the time. We have only had to set water heating to boost using the national grid a couple of times when we have both had showers and done several loads of washing.
Sunny day today, so it's all happening on the roof - yay!
Yesterday we went down to get the motorhome from behind Richard and Ngaire's place, so I could wash it and be ready for heading up to Levin to get the Certificate of Fitness inspection done. The sides of the motorhome were reasonably clean but the back and front were messy! Today when I got back from getting the CoF, we checked the roof - OMG! the amount of leaf litter, pine needles and dirt was overwhelming. David cleared what he could reach from the ladder, then I hosed as much off as I could. Then I decided we needed professional help! So I tracked down the guy who cleaned it for us previously and I will take it up on Friday.
Thursday:
We are going to find a suitably sized tarp to cover the roof with while it's up at R&N's place so we can keep the roof at least partly clean! The trick is going to be how to get the tarp up on the roof. I was thinking about it overnight and decided we should put it on and tie it down here and then I can drive very slowly to R&N's place. It's not far and I need to drive at 15kph through our retirement village, and there are speed bumps on the way down the road, so high speed isn't do-able anyway.
It is now Thursday and I am about to have an afternoon nap - I took an Aquamove class this morning and we did lots of jumping and running on the spot and I am tired!!
I now have a new great nephew - my nephew Jamie and his wife Kirsty (not our Kirsty) have had a wee baby boy. I have seen a photo and he is very lovely. Our Kirsty is going to visit where they live and they are hoping to all catch up. Yay!
Right, now I really am going to have a snooze.
