October 2006

Big month for Karl. He bought his very first car. A red one. And we all know that red cars go faster!! Bought it off Trade Me - from Nelson. It's lovely to drive, and will hopefully last him for a long time :)

It was also the end of an era (a short era) for Dallas. He finished up with Courier Post and we bought a mowing contracting business. He had a couple of weeks learning the ropes before starting properly on 1st November. This is not a franchise . . . it's all ours. He mows parts of vineyards, headlands, around restaurants, schools plus some private lawns. Less stress than the courier, but you still have to be reasonably fit and healthy.
