The Last Minute

Sometimes things work out.

As I mentioned earlier, I have found my US banks to be a bunch of primative screw-heads. This was causing me addition grief because we needed to have a deposit check to go in with the Tender offer today. Tam had a brilliant backup plan, we write a check against the unmoving US bank, and attach a note saying “sorry, we will get you NZ funds first thing next week”. But lo-and-behold, I checked the bank this morning and last night the money came across. Halla-freaking-lua! So anyway, we filled out the papers, I got a bank check, and took the train up to Porirua to drop it in the box. Some time in the next 24-48 hours we will hear if we have made it. Fingers crossed.
