Hi,
What a lovely, relaxing weekend. It isn't often we have absolutely nothing scheduled on a weekend. We lazily got up late on Saturday (well, I did and Toby did) and made breakfast. Then the Tabors rang and suggested Lollipops Playland for the boys. Mike was all enthusiastic for DIY (painting and stuff) so he thought the idea of Toby being away for a few hours was great so he could get stuck in.
At the last moment I decided to go with the Tabors (well, Aidan only as Josh had something on) so we sat and drank tea while the boys ran off lots of energy. We hadn't chatted for a while, so my book never even got out of my bag.
After Lollipops, Mike had arrived after buying all the DIY stuff we need, so we went to a cafe on the Petone beach. It was very good but the name escapes me. It is over the top of a rowing club near the jetty. The food was pretty good and the reason for going, the churros with chocolate dipping sauce, was worth it! Yum!
We got back home and chilled for a bit until Kara arrived for dinner (spag bol from Mike) and stayed for a while. We offered to drive her home so she got merry. We watched a movie and then drove her home. It was still very windy. The wind at her place was strong.
Sunday was another lazy start. Mike drove Kara's car home and when he got back, I collected Ma for some shopping out at Harvey Norman and Queensgate. We got the last wee bits pretty much done. Not much to go now. Just groceries really. We had our first BBQ of the summer last night. Yum!
Ma entertained Sally and Andrew on Saturday night and that went well too. I think that covers the major points from the weekend. The rest of the week looks good for the weather here. Fingers crossed.
Christmas is gathering speed and approaching fast! Mike's parents are set to arrive for a fleeting Christmas here now. That is good news. Here Christmas Eve and away a few days later. But very good to see there here!
Have a great week leading up to Christmas.
Love,
Angela
