It's still raining, and as I discovered when I got home, solar water heating doesn't when it rains like it has been here today. Warm water, certainly not hot, but never mind.
The river was well up this morning through the Gardens, high enough to run a canoe down, ok, it's not exactly white water, but good enough for a bit of fun. All I need to do now is find someone with a canoe I can beg, borrow or acquire. I'd settle for a inner tube even, there are a few small waterfalls on the way down through the Gardens.
Still working on the funding proposal, Will called in, took away what we had ready, I'm still waiting on replies from suppliers here. I'm still getting used to counting in very large sums when it comes to tools and equipment, a chainsaw that costs $2,000 in NZ is SBD$12,000, wheelbarrows are SBD$580 to SBD$800, you don't even bother asking about good quality tools, my Estwing hammer is SBD$780 here, the cheap flimsy almost plastic chinese ones are SBD$240.
I haven't got a lot of time to write more today, I'll work on more detail over the weekend.
