Watch out for cats on beds!

It’s been a busy old week, things to do and places to go, there is always plenty happening here.  We visited the Health Centre for our flu jabs, no problem there.  But then the nurse noticed that Robin had a wound on his arm and wanted to know about it.  He related the tale of how it came about.  We were on our last day of the recent caravan trip and he was reaching under the lift up caravan bed to put something away underneath.  Gemma was on the bed and moved down towards him to see what was happening.  Her weight was enough to put pressure on the gas struts and the bed fell down trapping Robin’s arms underneath.  Luckily I leapt into action and freed him, but he had a big gouge taken out of his arm.  The upshot of all this was that he needed a tetanus injection too, just in case.  And as there was no record of me having one, I got one as well.  Caravanning can be dangerous!

Then on Saturday we drove down to Southward Car Museum.  Started by Len Southward, it houses a collection of over 400 vehicles, as well as three aircraft, and is located on Otaihanga Road, just north of Paraparaumu.  But we weren’t there to look at the cars, but for me to attend a quilt show.  After Robin ticked a few must do items off his shopping list, he joined me and my friend Shirley in the upstairs café for lunch.  There was a good view looking down into the museum at all the gleaming cars.

Never mind, we had been there before, some time ago now.  We checked the prices on the way out, and yes, they do give a senior discount, so we may well go again sometime in the future.  How about this Porsche in the foyer?  Don’t red cars go faster?
