A Busy Life

Lifestyle?  What lifestyle?

We have been rather busy settling in to the motel, learning all the little bits and pieces that we need to know.  Well some of it is written down and we take notes where we can, but such a lot of it is in Esther and Kristian's heads.  They have told us loads of stuff we need to know so I just hope we can remember it all.  We were so tired last night that when some guests asked where they could get food, we forgot we had a Chinese Takeaway in town.

We had to learn how to cook all the items on the menu, so one lunchtime we worked our way through it by Esther showing us what she does for each item. We ate well that day!

I have been trying for 3 days to upload pictures to show you of the motel and of us cooking, but with no success.

Suffice to say I have now given up, so no pictures today.

It is now Sunday afternoon, I have had a little nap and we have one more person to check in.  We have started calling them chickins as Esther was so enraptured with our kiwi accents she would repeat everything we said with an exaggeration! So Check in becomes chickin.

I am getting really good at breakfasts and the 3 men on a fishing trip were very pleased with my scrambled eggs and stayed another night and had the same breakfast again.  'Fabulous' was the way one of them described my scrambled eggs!!

R and I walked over to the markets this morning. They are just across the road in the park so no parking problems for us.  We bought some nice fresh corn on the cob which we enjoyed for lunch.

Esther and Kristian have gone now. They fly out to Singapore tonight from Brisbane and then on to Heathrow.  Esther is going to Wales and Kristian to his home in Norway.  They are both excited to be seeing their parents for Christmas and very pleased that we have made it possible for them.  The motel is still not settled, so we are just managing it for now until the bank and the landlord get their s... sorted!  In other words they are the ones holding it up, not us.

Thank you for reading my blog with no pics today.

I hope to have some pics available again soon.
