a friend of dad's is returning home to south africa soon, but rather than flying, he's going to ride his motorbike there instead. given how many pieces his motorbike is currently in, this is rather worrying.
andrew's staying in our basement at the moment fixing his bike on a daily basis, whilst waiting for his travelling partner to be ready to leave. or maybe he's waiting until his bike is fixed. who knows? i've decided my tricycle needs fixing too, so now i keep a wrench and a pair of pliers in the seat compartment ready for a daily tune up.
in the meantime we had our first ever yard sale. andrew needed to sell the last of his stuff- not much space on a motorbike for a clothes dryer, kitchen equipment or office stuff. we dragged out some of our stuff from the store room to bolster his offerings. despite the fact we had a load more stuff, he made a lot more money. seems no one else liked the light fixtures we took down either.
we had some fun though, we met some more of the neighbours and i got my bubble machine out to attract more passers by. we even got to wash the front steps while trade was slow.
