The long weekend with Toby's return

Hi,

It was an odd weekend with me waiting (im) patiently for Toby's return very late on Sunday night.  Let's see...  Friday night was takeaway night at Vivienne and John's place with Mike getting a little waylaid after work.  The evening passed in fine form with music and pleasant conversation.  More please!

Saturday morning was later than expected with Mike sleeping off some of the excesses of the night before.  But before too long he was up and at the garage.  With Andrew helping!  He had been to the Safety Shop and had all the kit and within 4 hours of starting - they were finished!  You should see the garage.  it is bare studs and a roof now.  No walls at all.  Sally popped over and we had tea and then they were off.

Sunday was quiet and I watched lots of Australian Open tennis as Mike had pumped it up to High Definition just for my viewing pleasure.  Eventually the time came to collect Dad and Toby from the airport.  It was so nice to see them both.  I got a nice hug and Dad explained to Mike on the way home that Toby had the patience of a saint because Tyler and Abby both wanted him all the time.  Heheheh.  I think Toby likes the attention.

It was late before we hit the bed (1am) and we slept in.  Jack came to visit with his Dad for a bit for morning tea and then Jack stayed for lunch and then Toby took off to Te Papa with Jack and his Dad for the afternoon.  I went to John and Christine's for yummy afternoon tea and then home to clear the garage.

Work starts today on our garages and Mike is taking the asbestos sheets he removed on Saturday to the hazardous waste landfill this morning.  I expect the roof will be off by the time I get home today.

Mike will also take Toby to the dentist this afternoon.  It's all go.

Love,
Angela
