Dare

Hi,
So, in the U.S., you're observing Memorial Day. Of course, here it's just another day. Did you do anything special today?
I got light mail with regards to the weekend song. I thought it was easy. It was "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. Ugh. Now we'll dig deep and see if you can remember this gem from a group that had a heap of hits 'back in the day'. You can coast on this one.
"...Just tell your hoodlum friend outside, You ain't got time to take a ride __ __ (don't talk back)" Clue: A parent sings to their child.
Some of the best laid plans.... Over the weekend we got the word that it was a 'go' for us to move into the house on number 31. We set things in motion, contacting various places and arranging for deliveries, started packing boxes and getting over-excited. Today we learned that we may not have water by that date. Can't move in without water. It's a thing, you understand. We're still waiting for the final word, but there may be a delay. Speaking of water, while we were walking through the house today, admiring our new floors and the progress with the landscape and the pool, we noticed water where there should not have been water. The last thing we want to do is move in with leaks. We've been assured that everything will be in order by the time we move in. I should hope so.
I've told you about the various deliveries of boulders to The Place. Well, it turns out that the latest group will be placed around the yard and they will be 'shaved' on top and act as little seats. Part of the earlier delivery will be used to make steps out of the pool, near the waterfall. Nice touch.
This evening I saw a young woman on her motorbike with a full cast on her right leg. I guess if you've got to get from point 'A' to point 'B', why let a cast get in your way. Life on two wheels is still totally fascinating to me.
We have a baby gecko in the bed room that's really cute. So tiny. He hangs out mostly on the ceiling, very still. Then he scoots along for a few seconds and stops. We can tell that he's growing and I'm pretty sure that we'll miss him when we leave. Which brings up another question. Will we get a new batch of geckos in the new house? Just how does that happen? Inquiring mind wants to know.
That's all for now, have a Great Week.

Peace,
Danny
