Day 59- Southerly on the Way

Trees are skeletons, leaves are blowin' in the wind, washing's hanging limply on the line. Kahu arrives home late morning with a hangover. We call Tom and Tammy to check in and catch up. They miss the boys and we have a chat about nose ring piercing. They're taken aback. Life goes on in Arkansas. They're still working but kids are home from school. In fact last Wednesday would have been Kahu's graduation and, to make up for missing it, the community have been putting pictures of the kids around El Dorado.
I pay off a house bill and drop Kahu off with a mate. We're supposed to be spreading the dirt pile but there's a series of drop ins and we're not that motivated anyway. Now the house is painted, the windows and the corbels add character, and the walls are going up, there's something to see. Marie and Mark, James and Cat, finally, a neighbour. It's getting dark when I leave. And drop in to see Nicki's builds. Impressive and so different to mine. In front of TV I get papers organised for the bank.

  2. Excellent- it was good to show you round. There are more off cuts if you need any.
