Life goes on...

All progressing well both health-wise and generally. My antibiotics are starting to gain some traction so hopefully that inertia continues.

I dug a trench the other day (in between the frequent showers) to redirect one of the rainwater run-offs from the garage. The piping presently runs under the windows which are being replaced shortly with the new french doors (for the new office). For several reasons, it is better to re-route the water en route to the soak hole.

Sounds like Terry, the builder, is back from London so the final stages of the new office will probably happen soon.

This week we're off to Tauranga for a meeting with some of the Exhibitors on Wednesday evening. The Sun newspaper has a cool cafe/bar facility at their premises in The Stand which makes an ideal venue for this. We'll be back Thursday afternoon.

More news as it happens...

Cheers
Bruce

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.

The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then, the still shaking driver said, 'Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me.'

The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle the driver so badly.

The driver replied, 'No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab ---
--- for the past 25 years I've been driving a hearse!
