The weekend with Mike

Hi,

Toby and I could get used to this.  Having Mike here for days on end is great.  Let's see.  Friday's hot date went awry, foiled by logistic issues getting all three of us to the dentist between 2 and 3pm.  This meant Toby stayed at our work while we worked.  Pants!

Happy birthday to wee Tyler for yesterday - 8 years old!  Wow!

William came for a sleepover on Friday night so Toby was happy anyway, even if it wasn't with Benjamin looking after him.  Then we were away early Saturday morning to the work Christmas party for the kids at Junglerama.  Toby had a lot of fun and scored two presents.

Then off to get haircuts for the boys - Mike's looks good.  Toby you can't tell.  He wanted it kept long.

Finally, off to Waikanae to see Aidan and the boys.  Josh was due home Sunday so Aidan was the one to look after us well.  And she did, like usual.  We went to the beach where it got so hot the water proved too much of a lure.  I was sitting on the picnic blanket talking to Aidan and vaguely watching some man swimming in the sea.  I thought he swam a lot like Mike.  But Mike never swims in the sea - too cold for that Aucklander!  Heheheh.  But, then again, where was Mike?  And as the man walked out of the sea, he looked more and more like Mike.

I thought if Mike is swimming, the sea must be like bathwater.  So I went to investigate, and came back and threw my watch off and went swimming in my clothes!  It was wonderful!

Home for dinner (scrumptious spaghetti bolognese) and eventually home.  At 7.19pm there was an earthquake we noticed because we were still sitting around the dining table.  In Wellington it was quite strong (strongest in 20 years apparently).

Great weekend!  It's our anniversary today - 12 years today!  And 20 years together next year.  20 years!  That's freaky!  Good fun!

Have a superb week!
Love,
Angela
