The weekend jam packed with things

Hi,

What a manic weekend!  Hahahah.

Friday iced latte!  With awesome rainbow background.

 I did get an iced latte on Friday with Andrew.  Heard about his day trip planned for Sunday to tackle that last spot height in the area over in the Wairarapa somewhere.  (Hint:  he did do it on Sunday - easily).

Saturday saw me and Mike at Quentin's abs workout at 10.30am.  Ahhh - yes.  My abs have been tender all weekend since then.  Hayden came along - and it is always so good to see him.

 We went to visit Phillipa's studio after that - saw her working space and her sister's exhibition.  Met Dean too. 

Wandered off to Joe's Garage for some lunch and an iced coffee.  Oh - I was disappointed in it.  :-(  Joe's has definitely lost its iced coffee crown.

Mike caught the train  to Upper Hutt and a Brew festival.  I chilled with Toby, reading and tickling before I headed out to pick up Andrew and Celia for quiz night.

It was at the Petone Working Man's Club - and we got a dinner beforehand.  Vege stack for me and Andrew.  Roast pork dinner for Celia.  Her friend Navi (hope I spelled that right) joined us - she had a deluxe chicken burger.  So cheap!

Up to get a table for the quiz.  Joined by two more Angelas (Ange and another woman that I may have met once - identified as "Angela H with the PhD in something related to animals").  And we owned the night.  Well, ok.  Not quite.  But we came second!  By one point!

Oosshh!

Won some wine. 

It went late.  As quizzes are known to do.  Dropped Celia and Andrew off at 10.45pm and it was past 11pm by the time I got to Upper Hutt.  Went through a breath test stop and found the venue where Mike had enjoyed a Bruce Springsteen tribute band.

Picked him, Lee and Gabe up and dropped them both home before heading back to Wellington.

Stunning day!

Up Sunday to chill before driving with Toby up to Paekakariki for a coffee with Iona and Col.  Walked along the beach with a quencher (yum - something local and very yummy), chatting away.

Headed back, dropped off Toby, picked up Mike and went to Sally and Andrew's house for family tea.  So good to see everyone.  Anthony was telling me all about his Japan trip and uni.

Back home to fall into bed!  While we walked from the car to the house, we were admiring the still, clear night and wondering where Sally got her weather forecast for rain and gale winds from for tomorrow.  Woke at 10pm to hear heavy rain and the wind picking up!  OMG.  We live somewhere crazy.

Up early for the PT session.  Noodle arms again now.

Wet outside.  Gale winds.  Who knew?  Oh - Sally knew!

Have a great week!  Shona is here on Thursday (with Frank and Michael) and staying through to Monday.  Hope the weather picks up!

Love,
Angela
