Monday mornings! This morning the truck would not start. Now I find it difficult for myself to start on a winter's Monday morning but this was a real menace. I turned the ignition key and "click!" nothing. After jump starting I got myself and the truck to the Super Quick agent in Underberg. R650-00 later the new battery was installed. This is really expensive start. Well, the old battery had done me well for five years so it did not really owe me anything. The garbage, just by the way, was in the back of the truck and did a tour of Underberg and Himeville as I had things to do in both villages. On my way back to the cottage I dropped the trash off at the sawmill dump. Nothing like well travelled garbage!
Yesterday was my 61st birthday and I celebrated by painting part of the bathroom and repairing a fence. I was told that normal people celebrate their birthdays with cupcakes and champagne. Liz had her birthday on the 13th and she celebrated it by working at the SPCA thrift shop. The odd couple!
And that's life in the hustle and bustle of the mountains.
