Polly and Rie were expecting Flossie to call in at the Groovy Girl Accommodation Centre at Kowhai Corner at 9 am. It is now after 10 am and outside the sun is shining brightly.
They look out the window and decide to go outside to sunbathe while it is sunny. They are feeling rejuvenated by the sun when they hear Flossie's truck arrive. Flossie sits on the block fence with Georgia her dog and reads out the list of dates and times of the arrival of the Groovy Girls expected to arrive this week.
Flossie leaves and gives Polly the list and tells her she will be back in an hour with Kali and Kassidy.
Polly grasps and both quickly sit up, put their dresses on and discuss what they will sew next.
Rie goes into the storage room to get some material and
patterns. Polly is behind the sewing machine when she hears a knock and two
happy voices.
Rie welcomes Kassidy and Kali inside. Polly can see at least
these two girls have pants on. Kali and Kassidy say they would like to have a bath so Rie takes them to the bathroom.
Polly tells Kali and Kassidy that their clothes will be ready to put on when
they have finished having their bath.
Polly gives Kali the dress Kalvin wore when he first arrived
while he was waiting for his clothes to be made, (but she won’t tell Kali that).
She gives Kassidy a skirt and top to wear. Polly tells the girls she has no
shoes for them to wear but they will get a pair each. The girls put their
given clothes on and go outside and play with the dogs.
The next morning Kendra and Sarita are at the Kowhai Tree waiting
for Leticia to arrive. They have a drink of water and some hot chips which they
brought with them.
They hear a rustling noise and look up and see Leticia above
them in the tree. She climbs down the tree and the three walk together to the
Groovy Girls Accommodation Centre and Rie shows them to their bedroom. Rie lets Polly know these three girls have arrived dressed.
The last girl to arrive this week is Rachel. She has flown from the UK and had a stopover in Paris for a few days before continuing
her journey to Kowhai Corner Groovy Girls Accommodation Centre. Rachel has
brought a chair sleeper and a poster of Paris with her which she puts up in her room. Rachel is wearing her new t shirt from Paris.
The Groovy Girls have had a great weekend getting to know each other and are excited to hear eight more Groovy Girls arrive on Monday.
On Monday morning Siri, Trini, Verity and Janisse arrive.
Flossie confirms to Polly that she is going to pick up the last four girls at two o’clock from the bus depot.
Flossie arrives with Trissa, Oki, Gwen and Selia to Kowhai Corner just
in time for afternoon tea.
