Edition 361 Monday 12/12/16
Hi,now you know my thoughts on snails especially those
running loose in my wardrobe so imagine how I felt when I saw one crossing the
road when I was out running.Initially I thought that snail needs to get a move
on if he/she doesn’t want to get run over and kept running.On my way back 20
minutes later I noticed the snail had not progressed very far so I picked
him/her up and put them down safely on the other side of the road……don’t ask!
We were delighted to attend the grand opening of the new
Hunting Lodge Winery at Matua on the weekend.We cant wait to return to our
happy place during our Summer holidays the scene of many cool family picnics
and World Soccer and Rugby inter family finals!!!!
Fletcher
reckons; getting an ‘Avenger’ face painting at the Matua reopening
party was cool but Captian America was not happy with the spelling!!!Talking
Mum into adding a 4th dog to our family was also a major coup
especially as ‘Izzy’ is much cleaner,quieter and tidier than Harry and the
Hendersons!!(see attached fresh from the local garden centre!!).
A wily old Steptoe told me not to worry about a little bit of
borer as we were negotiating a deal on a retro foot stool recently.The deal
clincher was some worldly/wily advice about using kerosene to kill the borer
and treat the wood in a 2 for 1 double whammy!The deal was done and the kero
duly applied much to the doubt of the team at 48!!After the initial doubts in
the dodgey advice I am pleased to report the solvent fumes have cleared
sufficiently to allow normal habitation of the house again trust me I know what
Im doing?!
Have a festive and ‘Upbeat’ week getting plenty done……..Cheers
Jonesey!
Harry and the Hendersons reckon nothing will ever be as good

‘They’ say the show must go on regardless and
‘they’ are right….no matter what!!
The
story goes like this……We provide waste collection and disposal services for the
cruise ships visiting Auckland durng the busy Spring and Summer period.
Friday
was like many others we had dropped off bins early morning as the ship docked
and collected them in the mid afternoon prior to the ship sailing that evening
Then
at approximately 5pm all hell broke loose as the producer of the on board
musical show discovered a number of suitcases containing costumes were
inexplicably missing!!!
They
had been mistaken for waste and thrown into our bins for collection and
disposal!!
A
desperate call for help went up and the GG team swung into action intercepting
the waste on its way to landfill. Several of our team went diving through the
waste and eventually recovered the
missing costumes. By this time it was 6pm and we managed to get the
costumes back to a relieved producer and cast before the ship sailed……whew!!
We
initially won this business by working through the night to clear a ship full
of waste and have continued to provide exceptional service as cruise ship
tourist numbers have grown!
So
through the swift efforts of our committed ‘business as usual can do’ GG team……the
show did definitely go on (just)!!!....a great example of doing what it takes
no matter what!

has the feeling gone,ooh Ma,ooh Pa will I remember the songs, ooh aah ‘the show
must go on’ “. Pink Floyd
