Important Stuff!

Well let me first mention how AWESOME New Plymouth is!!! Roz and I made the trip to visit Mel and Smi over the weekend, it was so much fun! We went shopping and to the beach (but definately not in the water, it's the middle of winter!), had lots of good meals and went to a great Margarita party! Overall a fantastic weekend!

Secondly; Kevin I'm very impressed with you DIY skills! And your description of them :-)

In other news.............Arjans leaving party is coming up :-( most likely the 1st September I'm told, so keep that date free!!

Arjan and Kenny are currently in Melbourne visiting the growing chemmat contingent there (well not sure if you can two a contingent, but it's getting there!). I shall be visiting them shortly too, on the 13th August to be exact!

Ok, hope you're all well, and enjoying whatever it is your doing

The Water Engineer

Works in a treatment plant
Smells all, sees all imaginable
Not meaning to be blunt
But this path was unforeseeable

A water engineer deals with a life source
A liquid so precious, its scarcity brings inevitable death
With enlightenment there was now no remorse
Even if at times,the stench caused one to have to hold his breath

One day, his toilet sprung not one, but two leaks
Degree he had, but toilets he’d ne’er try to fix
DIY, DIY! He wanted to say,
Pay a plumber? No way, no way!

To Bunnings he went, the mantra “Lowest Prices are Just The Beginning”
“When I flush the valve doesn’t close properly”
Oh, so are you trying to say its overflowing?
Yes, what is the problem with that thingy?
It’s a cistern you dummy

Now what else is the matter?
After flushing, it just keeps on running,
The poo’s all gone, but the water keeps on coming
Ah, you need a new washer

The parts bought, the engineer exited
Bunnings guy knew what he was doing,
Every part was right, every part fitted,
Pride, the water engineer was feeling

Bunnings guy saved the day!
Pay a plumber? No way, no way!
