The weekend with loads on and Mike gardening

Hi,

What a frantic weekend.  Busy, busy.  Friday night saw Mike and Toby attending the Dr Who Spectacular with Sally.  Apparently it was great fun.  Jack stayed with us because they were down for the same thing.

The next morning Mike attacked the garden with ferocity.  Look at the photo below - there is a tree on our path!

I then went out for lunch with Christine and Aidan.  I saved the table while they ordered and it was a great idea.  Aidan ordered me the best burger - I would never have ordered it for myself.  Slow beef.  It was so good!

Back home and into town to drop Jack off to his parents.  And then back home to get ready for a party at the GP.  That was a lot of fun!  Picked up Ange on the way in.  Benjamin looked after Toby.

Up on Sunday early for Mike.  He met Lesley and collected the fridge, dryer and washing machine from her place.  These are now in our garage.  The car is on the street!  Also helped Christine move into our place.  Then lunch and helped Mike with the chipper, reducing garden waste to small chips.  Great fun!

Sarah and Hamish came around and we had tea and chatted.  Then we were off to family dinner.  Yummo.  It was my birthday family dinner too.  Great!  The food was yum, the cake was yum - and I got presents!

Family dinner - look at the evening we got!

 Off home and Toby loved the summer evening - he poked his head out the window!

Hahahah - lucky he doesn't have floppy ears.

The view from Petone foreshore of Wellington.  No wonder Toby was looking out the window!

What a busy weekend.  And a busy week ahead too.  Toby was at school at 6.45am and off to school camp for the week.  We'll see him on Friday.  Or not.  We're going to Auckland on Friday evening and he's going to stay with Josh and Aidan.  So, we might not see him at all.

Right.  Time for tea.

Have a great week!
Love,
Angela
