There is still a week to go till Robin finishes work, but he decided to organise his farewell get-together with his fellow drivers this week. The boys called around in the late afternoon to have a snack, washed down by a beer or two, and no doubt discuss how to put the company to rights. Big changes are in the wind, and the general consensus is that Robin has chosen a good time to leave. He had originally planned a barbeque, but the wind had quite a cold bite to it, so it would be no fun sitting outside. Lucky that I was home to attend to kitchen duties and heat up the snacks for them all, while Robin offered everyone a cold beer. Russell was sporting a sling after a visit to the surgeon. He will be off work recuperating for several weeks to allow his surgery to heal, so it was really good that he managed to drive himself here for Robin’s afternoon.

The drivers made short work of the mini spring rolls, the spicy samosas and the crumbed prawns that I had cooked up for them. Those prawns were delicious, especially dipped in chilli sauce – I managed to get a few for myself.

With only one more week of work to go, then Robin can silence that alarm clock which wakes us up at 5:00am. It will be bliss to know that the early morning wake-up calls will finally be a thing of the past. Now, I wonder if retiring workers still get a gold watch from the big boss after years of faithful service? As they say on the Tui ads - “Yeah – right!!”
