Hi,
So many exciting things happened this weekend. Gokila gave Mike some diwali sweets she made for her festival celebrations. They were delicious - thank you.

Toby also had his first day at a new job - fulfilling online orders for Countdown. Seems like it will be a good job for him to pile away money for the coming, final year at uni. Hopefully he gets a lot of hours through the summer.
I am very proud of him.

Friday saw me drive into work and collect Juliet and whisk her off to La Clache for lunch. Enjoyed that and dropped her home afterwards.

Saturday we did a few things at home (I made Afghans) before heading to Callan and Stacey's place for tea. Callan had shot a deer on his recent trip south. And I have to say, he shot a delicious deer. Stacey made asparagus (mmmm - a fave of mine) and pureed cauliflower (so yummy - I need to do this!) to accompany it. And a cake to round it out.

I might have got very distracted by the rugby world cup. I watched that while the rest of them caught up. We're all very excited to head away for our back to back tramps down south this coming weekend.
The weather was so wild in Wellington that we were surprised Callan could actually use the BBQ at his place. But Aotea was really rather lovely. Sunshine and not as windy.
Back home afterwards - and as we rounded the motorway near Johnsonville, the wind was back in force.
Up Sunday expecting AFL to get the flick. But no. Drove there in drizzly rain but played in sunshine and just a stiff breeze. Got sunburn despite my sunscreen. Obviously I needed more. It was a close game. Only 5 points in it at three quarter time, but they got away from us at the end. Great fun!
I got awarded Clawdia - for being a great team player. Not for having a brilliant game on the day. Well - I had a fun game. But like my singing skills, enthusiasm does little to improve my abilities.
