This morning I caught Freya trying to extricate her bike from the garage, but at the expense of the Mirth Mobile's paint work. She wasn't massively receptive to the admonishment she received. I thought it might be an idea to rearrange the garage a little, such that all the odd boxes adjacent to the house wall disappear to make a decent amount of room for the bikes. The major task however was to compress the pile of rubbish that had accumulated on the other side down to a much more manageable level and then use this space for the boxes. NZ Van Lines had promised to pick up the remaining packaging, but at this time of year they were unlikely to be making house calls. Consequently I decided to fold up all the paper and cut up the cardboard such that it would all stack neatly in a couple of boxes. Stuffing various boxes under the eves of the garage out of the way of any potential rain also proved useful and the requisite space for bikes was duly found.
Later on in the afternoon we went back to the beach for another body boarding session. My technique has definitely improved and I managed to catch several decent waves using Imogen's board. It is clear that I do need my own, though, not just because an adequately sized one would be more advantageous, but because Phoebe is becoming more adventurous and more reluctant to relinquish hers. Also it might help preserve what little skin remains on my knees.
Di made the fatal mistake of not applying any sunblock to her face, and continuing to wear sunnies. Naturally, this resulted in a panda like appearance when she took them off later on in the evening, and an appropriate amount of mickey taking. I am not allowed to provide pictures, however!
