The job is dead; long live the job !!

Yesterday was my last day with my current employer. They had a lovely little party for me, too (me and one of the other guys who’s leaving). Among other little going away prezzies, they gave me a little flag and made me an honorary Kiwi, because I get more of the NZ questions right on the quiz than they do. Hee!

Anyway, I have two whole weeks off now before I start at the new place. What we do with those two weeks is largely out of our control: We can’t really go anywhere until the other two girls have their babies, and we can’t start putting up the kitset shed (which arrived Thursday) until John gets a free slot on his schedule to come up and auger the holes for the poles. Ah well — plenty more to do around the place. We’ve got one more wire to pull on the fence around the bush block, and all seven to do on the new curtailage fence, plus planting the rest of the trees, getting in more and planting those, ordering the grass for the drainage field and planting that, plus getting more flax from Maggie and Martin and putting thatin, plus beating back some more of the garden…
