Ladders and Lights

So...I fell off a ladder yesterday. I was picking plumbs and reaching for this really juicy one...and low and behold, my ladder decides to tip over on me...and I came crashing down with the branch i was holding onto! I must have fallen a good 7-8 feet off the ground...it was pretty sweet...the ladder broke my fall. Im alright...a little sore today...and here is a pic of my leg....you can't really tell, but it's super swolen around that top graze. I thought it was pretty funny after it happened...i wish someone caught it on camera. It was also interesting that that morning I said to the 2 other WWOOFers "if I fall off a ladder, it will be today" since I was tired and it was my last day picking plumbs....i probably should have kept my mouth shut!





Last night Me, and the 2 other guys (from America!) went to Pukekura Park because during the holidays/summer they put all these lights up in the trees and it was really cool! Here is a picture of the waterfall...it was my fav :) All the lights changed colors on it!

Anyways...I have to continue trying to pack...i'm supposed to be leaving today hehe. I have WAY too much stuff with me!

Hi Pamela!
First of all I hope you are OK...you are lucky no broken bones after your ladder escapade!
I was sooooo happy to talk to you the other day! How goes the move? Can you actually fit everything into your car???? Lol.. The pictures are just beautiful....I especially love Huka Falls! Do people kayak or raft down them? Is the water cold?
Have a safe journey.....send us pics of your new "home" in Masterton..
Love you and miss you..
