The weekend with ANZAC Day and Monday off

Hi,

 Long weekend with ANZAC Day on Saturday and we were up at our letterbox at 6am for the dawn service.  Our internet connection was laggy so we mainly listened to Simon and Amy's wee radio across the road.

Someone played Last Post in the houses behind us and it echoed through the street, perfectly capturing the mood.

Mike got a migraine when we got back into the house and took medicine and went back to sleep.  It's a shame for him.

Walk up Te Ahumairangi hill

T-shirt weather!

The walk
We had a stunning walk in the afternoon.  T-shirt weather!  Can you believe it? 

Chatted to Sally and Andrew on Saturday night via WhatsApp.  Woot!

Sunday saw Mike mending fences (he got the stringers up).  He was using the skillsaw and cutting out notches to sit around the existing fence posts.

He was amazing.

New stringers ready for the palings

I washed the outside of the house.  Great arm workout.  And the house looks so good.

Sunday was a lot of indoor work.  Laundry.  Luxing.  And Mike was working on the computer. 

Same walk, different day.  Very blustery
 Monday night we convinced Toby to walk with us.  Very different conditions.  He loved it!

Toby is with us!

Tuesday morning is stunning
And today is stunning here.  Wow.  After the gusts last night as we went to sleep it is hard to believe today looks like this.

Right.  Short week!  Level 3 lockdown now as of midnight last night.

Same as before - just with takeaways.

Love,
Angela
