Carla has been practicing riding her scooter, I'm sure she will tell you all about it, but she is reall getting pretty good. Lately driving up to the school and back.
Work has been really hectic trying to get our integration finalised, so I am looking forward for a chance to take a few days off. Today we potted around the garden as it was looking terrible, the weeds were about a foot high. It is terrible, as we pay 400 000 won (about R3 200) a month as a levy (yes, not rent just levy) to manage our unit, including the garden maintenace, and the lawn never gets cut or weeded.
So Carla and I got into the garden to do some weeding and generally clean things up a bit, which took a fair amount of time. After the weeding, I went to ask the maintenance / security guy for their lawn mower, which is a small manual pushing mower. This was absolutely useless, so I gave up with that after a few minutes as it was not cutting anything. Eventually the maintenance / security comes along with a small electric hedge trimmer, not much large then my hair shaver. He was going to cut the grass with that...
After seeing him try this for a few minutes I felt really sorry for him and went and riffled through the stuff we brought across but not unpacked, looking for our weedeater. I brought this up and in a few minutes everything was cut. The maintenance / security / gardener just kept on pointing to the weedeater and saying "good, very good". Maybe I should donate it to the complex.
We then went to Seoul Club for a swim and a pizza which was really nice and relaxing.
