A while ago Doug went to see a G.P., Peter, who specialises in skin cancers, to have a couple of lesions removed. They got talking and discovered both had a love of working with timber and gardening among other things. I booked in for a skin check and had one on Tuesday, just as Peter got back from holiday. He burnt three lesions off with dry ice and there is a fourth that will be cut out on Tuesday. Peter and Doug had arranged a swap of the Clearlite roofing we had removed from the deck for some native timber. Peter wanted to use the clear roofing for a hot house so yesterday we loaded the trailer and went to the other side of town. We had a tour of the garden which included plants such as blueberry, bananas, Tropical paw paw as well as the more usual berries, tomatoes and greens.
Peter and Doug then loaded the trailer with the native timber Peter telling Doug to let him know if he needed anything else or anything specific before we went up and had a tour of the pool area and then the house which is built of native timber. This was followed by a cuppa. We would have been there for a couple of hours and enjoyed the company of Peter and his wife.
There are some lovely people in this world.
In the afternoon, after the trailer was unloaded we decorated the Christmas Tree which now has a new pewter ornament received from a cousin in Canada, a humpback this year.
