Mark took rain check today.

Marcus came and did more prep for his move on Sunday. We’re going to have the movers put Bridget’s piano in the homestead garage store-room where temperature is more even and less likely to be damaged. Bridget’s Chapman Taylor furniture is in there too.

Small part of the big trailer hitch broke off a few days ago. Today Marcus and I figured out a temporary fix using #8 wire and he also is going to try fixing the broken piece of steel with some magic “cold weld” stuff.

I picked up the mended occasional table that Karola fell on when she broke her hip. Only $160 and it’s good as new.

Tried to get some 3”x2” timber for mending the railings round the lemon tree. Rang Carters and they confirmed they had 3”x2” rough sawn timber available – bu when I went to buy some, no they haven’t. Rang Tumu’s bit nor do they. So we’ll have to make our own. Got more 6”x2” six metre planks to rip into 3”x2”. While I was in town I got replacement maize, wheat, and chook pellets.
