Nearly the end of September.  We had a great weekend with Karen, Scott, Tyler and Abby over.  I seem to have missed out on lots of sleep though.  Saturday we basically stayed home (the weather was wild and windy) and ventured as far as the park for the kids.  Sunday dawned lovely and calm.   The kids went to Lollipop Playland with the Dads, and we drove to Queensgate to get some shopping done.  Trouble is we ran out of time and just managed to get supermarket shopping done in time for lunch.  But the BBQ was a great success.   The kids used the bouncy castle for ages and ran around in the nice weather.  Karen even got a bit of sun for her trip to NZ.  Who ’d have thought?

 

The wind has got up again in time for Monday!   It is supposed to be even worse tomorrow.  I saw a high of 10 mentioned.   I ’m guessing it was a mistake.

 

Mike and I have a meeting after work today so we won ’t be in Ngaio for dinner time.  I ’ll discuss with Mike and make firmer plans.   Maybe we can ride to Ngaio and pop in to say hi then keep riding home.

 

I just got a text from Scott saying they were bumped from their Wellington to Sydney flight and now have to pay extra to go via Auckland .  It ’s a shame for them!   After they got tickets onto the flight too.
