Yesterday, Friday 18th February, Matthew, a big truck and a big crane moved Calliope from her first home on a block at Kinka Beach to her new (and hopefully last) home in Emu Park. What was meant to take a few hours in the morning ended up taking all day. Everything was going well, the truck got Calliope to the new block, reversed to where Matthew had told him to, and then for some unknown reason decided to reverse a little bit more and then got the truck bogged.I'm not really sure of all the details of what happened after that. I was working at school and at about 11am had a txt from Matt on my phone saying "Hey babe the truck got bogged so all sorts of dramas right now"
At 3:20pm when I was leaving school I still hadn't heard anything and no answer when I tried to call Matt. I started having visions of the truck sinking in the mud off the side of the road somewhere and Calliope falling off and smashing on her side. I almost didn't want to find out what the story was. But I drove home via Calliope's new home, on the Emu Park Rd to see if it had made it.
I arrived to find Calliope sitting proudly in her new paddock, the truck still there and the crane still there. My mind started going into calculator mode - trying to estimate the bill for a crane and big truck taking all day to move a boat. I decided that was a silly thing to do and remembered Joyce Meyer saying "It is what it is". The boat is safe. We'll worry about crane and truck bills later.
