I mixed bad a of a (Sun)day,
Getting out of bed a little late, after returning in the wee hours of the night from staring at the sky… the Aurora magic was still replaying in my mind. Wow, what an unforgettable experience, buzzing with feelings and emotions of awe and wonder. BUT… This morning I have to do a little cleanup outside, wash the trailer, get the laundry going and vacuum the house after the visit from Xena last Friday. Paragliding was looking like a “maybe” option too, but did not realise in the end with the conditions remaining pretty light throughout. Looking back at my work from the week, I was pretty happy with the results. Finally I can tick that off the list..
After lunch, it was off to the SPCA for some more orientation and training. There were a small group of us, mostly going through health and safety training followed by and extended tour of the facilities. They have a surprisingly large property filled with all kinds of animal but by far the feline section being the largest. I would like to get stuck into helping out asap, but have to respect their processes and procedures. Lots of cute kitties in need of a hug. If you are in a position to contribute anything, please go here: SPCA Christchurch Centre
Got home after my visit to the SPCA just in time to light the braai before some friends came over. Nice to just chill next to the fire, winding down slowly after the week with something cold in my hand. Sorry C&C for overcooking your steak ;-( .
