Hi,
Another pleasant evening spent painting the stairwell. It now has a second coat and we have returned the planks to Ian (Andrew's cousin). We only have a wee bit at the bottom (where we can reach without scaffolding) to get done.
Yesterday I caught the bus home with some packages as I had the start of a migraine. It really came to nowt although I do have a slightly woolly head this morning. We then drove to Grandy and Gramps' house to find them all well. Toby is exceeedingly happy with his holiday at Camp Richardson. He got to go to Lollipop Playland yesterday and has the Kirks Christmas windows to look at today, and Planet 51 with Grandy (a new movie). No wonder Mum said he played a game yesterday that meant he was Grandy's child, and Mum and Dad were his Aunty and Uncle. Hhhmmmmmm. Should I be concerned? :-)
Tonight we'll finish off the bottom of the stairwell (it should be very quick) and then tidy up the house in preparation for Christmas Day.
The weather is so nice here in Wellington. No wind at all last night. When we left home at 6pm there were people packing their car and trailer for a big expedition for summer holidays at the bottom of Norwich St. They were still going at 7pm when we returned. And going strong at 9.30pm when Mike took the planks back. But gone by 10pm. We're hoping it wasn't much longer than the 3.5 hour marathon we witnessed. It was like watching an army exercise. Mother marshalling the equipment gathering, a mountain of gear on the front lawn, a gaping trailer, father and children scurrying around.
As the radio people said this morning - it is Christmas Eve's eve today! Woo hoo!
Have a great day!
Love,
Angela
