Sometimes
things don’t go as you planned.
I find in
fact that most times things don’t go as I planned.
Especially
where our buses are concerned.
We were so
organized this trip to NZ.
We booked in
our bus for its warrant before we even flew over.
We drove it
in on the 14th of December.
We got our
“to do” list that needed to be finished within 28 days.
We booked
the bus into the mechanic that same week.
Took it back
to the testing station.
Nope, still
no passing.
We booked it
into another mechanic who was not available until after the holidays.
No worries.
Still plenty
of time.
We took the
bus in on the 5th of January to find out there was quite a bit of
work to be done to get the bus up and running. It will be in the shop at least
a week and they can start work next week!
So
organized…..
So many
plans……
What to do?
I could be
very frustrated that my plans have not gone as planned. Or I can make new plans
and make the most of it.
I am
choosing the latter options.
If I stayed
frustrated every time our plans went awry I would be a very unhappy person.
It really
isn’t too bad to be “stuck” on the Kapiti Coast for a few days.
It is a
little inconvenient to be homeless for a week.
But the
bright side is that we get to stay with and see more of our Wellington friends.
That will be
fun.
My apron
today is a bit like life at the moment.
I had a plan
this morning to make a long cute apron.
I was
wearing a long skirt and it seemed to make sense at the time.
When the
apron is done it seemed more Amish than cute. Not that Amish is not cute, just
not what I was going for.
But to go
along with the theme for today I decided to make the most of it.
I put a two
buttons at the waist line and a little loop down each side.
The loop can
be brought up to the buttons and it looks a bit funky.
Also it
makes a good little pocket to collect some eggs in.
If you
happen to have chickens.
or a kitten.....
