Timing

5 March 2011

Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time. We're couch-surfing at the moment; bludging beds off friends and family while the bus is being painted.

Last week we were in Napier. During a winery visit, we got chatting to the staff and it came up in conversation that we are travelling around in our bus, looking for work. One of them instantly asked 'Do you want to park here and pick grapes?'. We'd love to, but the harvest will probably coincide with when we have to be in Auckland to get the electrical system fixed.

Then this week we've been in Wellington staying with my sister. We were at her work (Bodega) the other day when the boss mentioned the cleaner had gone AWOL and he was having to do it himself. Of course we offered our services. Because, after all, we've got experience.

Which is how we got three days work cleaning a pub.

Timing.
