The Thursday with library visits and Burger Wisconsin

Hi,

Yes - the library visit just happened to coincide with a Burger Wisconsin meal.  Not too sure how that association has sprung up.  Might have something to do with them being within 100m of each other.  Mere supposition on my part though.

We also popped into John and Christine's place afterwards for a cup of tea.  Christine has her first competition dressage event this weekend and was off practising.  Good luck!

Friday today and a gorgeous day here in Wellington.  The sort of day that makes you glad you live here.  I think there are usually about 5 days like that every year.  Mostly in February.  And not generally quite enough to make you appreciative of the grotty days that howl southerlies in and whip washing up into a frenzy.

Our garage renovations are progressing.  Well, the garages are changing.  Whether it is progressing terribly much is another thing.  Our garage that houses the little green car (the previously asbestos-clad one) is now just a concrete pad.  All the framing has vanished as it was rotten and far easier to remove entirely and start again.  That garage is going to be all new.  The new framing has actually gone up already and the builders have their hands full squaring off the walls and foundations.  A bit ropey in its original building I think.  Maybe they just used line of sight (a squinty sight) to square it originally.  Anyhow, you can see it will be fantastic soon.  And we'll have power to it and be able to open the doors from the car instead of parking hanging out into the road and scuttling up to open it and hoping no buses come past at that moment.

Ok.  Weekend plans sound like fun.  Some friends have their 25th wedding anniversary so their son is staying for a sleepover with Toby (Jack) on Saturday night.  We wish them all the best.  And then we're off to Waikanae for dinner (BBQ) and a good play time (playing is for Toby - hopefully our conversation will be slightly more adult).  Hopefully a walk while we're there too.  Sunday is Tom's birthday party so that should be good.  We'll take the bouncy castle along.

Have a great weekend.
Love,
Angela
