The weekend with Wellington things

 Hi,

What a busy weekend. Friday saw me up early for gym with Quentin (followed by Mike having a session with Quentin). Then I headed home to chill for a bit.

Friday cats

Saturday we got up early and did another Park Run volunteer morning at Waitangi Park. It was another wet one. But for the hour of Park Run, it wasn't too bad. As we packed up the last of the cones, it really started hosing down. Dropped Janine off and headed to the gym with Sally. She was already at Willis St, so we backtracked from the motorway (via Newlands) to town.

Machete iced latte with Mike and Sally

We grabbed a brekkie and iced latte after the gym at Machete. Out to Petone to Wet & Forget to buy some cleaning products. The woman we met at Rainbow ski field from their Nelson office convinced me to try their Hit the Deck product. We bought a bit of stuff! Dropped Sally at home so she could prepare for her grocery drop later that day. Or maybe read a lot. :-)

We popped out around 2.30pm to vote. Drove out to Karori and 10 minutes later we had cast our votes in the 2023 General Election. It is on next weekend. Saturday, Oct 14.

We voted!

Turns out Toby voted too

While we were voting in Wellington, Toby and Tessa were out doing the same thing in Christchurch. Very proud of my civic-minded son.

Sunday saw us meet Kara at the zoo when it opened. Mike was on a calf raises tour of the zoo. Mike and I got in early and raced to the snow leopards enclosure. They were not even let out yet. So we milled about. Then they came out - and Kara came racing up to us. From a direction opposite to the entrance. She had gone the long way - hahahah.

Loved the zoo - again. Got myself a chimp and some sleep pants at the gift shop. Headed home to try the Wet & Forget.

Happy with that

I was very happy with the 2.5 hours it took to clean up the deck. Mike didn't get good results with his shower stuff. The glass is still etched with built up mineral deposits. He did ask Facebook and now has a lot (A LOT) of suggestions to try.

My cold seems to have come back. Monday morning saw me do another covid test - in case. But - negative. Scratchy throat (slightly), tight chest (kinda), nose might be thinking about dribbling (but... is it?). Yeah - I dunno.

I am so excited about the Project Jonah training this Saturday too. Same day as the election (and the voice referendum in Australia). Kara booked in too - so yay!

Have a fantastic week everyone.

Love,

Angela
