Early vans

The decorator, Keith, is already up at the house when I arrive. He said he got up the track without any problems. While I’m speaking with him, he gets a call from Tam, the joiner - who is stuck at the bottom of the track.

I barrow down another two bags of grit, but still we can’t get the van to the first bend. It has a wider wheel base, which means that the left side is always on the steep camber, slipping away from the grit. Instead, we use the wheelbarrow to take Tam’s tools up to the house.

Lots of meetings. A brief visit from Gordy. And soon enough it’s dark and time to head home for tea. Tomato soup tonight and an Ang Lee movie, Lust; Caution.
