Life Lately #12
Last week was a stressful one, made slightly better by a long weekend. If I didn’t write this down today, I probably would’ve forgotten all the problems we dealt with the week before. My last Life Lately post was about our trip to Putaruru Blue Springs — and I didn’t mention this then, but there were roadworks during our drive. Fresh gravel had been laid on some roads around Tokoroa, and a few tiny rocks managed to lodge themselves underneath our car. So last week, driving anywhere meant listening to the car screech like something was very, very wrong. Our friends suggested the classic fix — throw the car into drive or reverse and brake suddenly to shake the rocks loose. We tried. Nothing. So off to the mechanics it went, because there was really no other choice. They were able to fix it — thank God! We definitely don’t have the money to buy a new car! Still, the fix cost us around $500, which hurt just enough to sting. And while we’re on the topic of things breaking… our water heat...
