The weekend with Shona arriving

Hi,

Got a late iced coffee with Sreejith and Celia - we needed it after our week. 

Iced latte goodness

Headed home and sorted out the evening with Mike and Toby.  We watched a movie together.  Paul.  About some alien with Simon Pegg starring in it.  I loved it!  Hahahah.

Up to find out that Shona was coming over after all.  She was due in at 1.10pm today!  Woot!  Excited flurry of activity to get the place ready.  Toby headed off to Tessa's house for a day of movies.

Mike and I picked up Shona and Michael and headed to Cafe Maranui for lunch.  Yummo!  They both decided in a short amount of time that Wellington was freezing.  And it was.  It was the coldest weather we'd had since last winter.

Back home to settle in (and failed to find the blow up bed for Michael - Abby - where did we put it after you finished with it??).  Then off to Roller Derby where Wellington was playing against the Hawkes Bay.

Watching the roller derby

Roller derby action!

Turns out we sat next to Ben from Machete.  Hahah.

Michael was kind enough to put up with a few hours of watching - I loved it!  Wellington B team slaughtered the Hawkes Bay.  It was a hiding.

Back home and off to bed.  Toby texted Mike at 11pm and asked for a lift home.  Mike got dressed and headed out into the storm.  Stormy it was too.  He said afterwards he could barely see the line markings on the road.  Wow!  Guess it was good we didn't make Toby bus home in that.

Up for brekkie - scrambled eggs all round.  Daylight savings ended too.  Woot!  Then Shona, Mike and I went to Upper Hutt to try and find Uncle Graeme and Aunty Dot's old house.  Hahah.  Not super successful.  Back to Lower Hutt and lunch at The Dowse.

I asked for an iced coffee photo and I got a Mike selfie

Oh - there we go!  At The Dowse.

Off to visit Celia and her girls for a cup of team.  Mmmmm.  That was lovely to see her and introduce Shona to her.

Celia has also got our wee baby out of storage for next weekend!  Oossshh!

Off to see Sally and Andrew too - couldn't fit another cuppa in.  Mike did though.  JR and Anita were there too.

Home - cooked tea.  Chicken schnitzel.  Which I now know Michael detests.  But he ate it.  I am lucky he is so polite.

They are staying around for today, and hoping to pick up a rental car and head north tomorrow.

Woot!

Love having them here.

Enjoy your week.

Love,
Angela
