The weekend in Wellington with parties and bike rides

 Hi,

Friday saw me working - and that meant my weekend was only 2 days long. I have no idea how anyone  does a 5 day working week anymore. Hahahah.

Christmas party was nice and low-key. We stayed really late. 9.45pm! Hahah. Good to see everyone. I got lots of hugs.

Here we are at the party

Saturday was chill in the morning. But Mike and I met Maureen at the local cafe for an iced latte (well, hot coffees for them) before Maureen and I went for a bike ride.

Saturday iced latte

Such a good day for it. Up behind Crofton Downs and up to the Skyline. Then north to Mt Kaukau (it is actually quite a long way). Maureen took me down her route into Johnsonville through bush. And then we sped down Old Coach Road to the valley bottom.

I look pretty pleased

While I was out riding, Mike was doing messages and got a lot of stuff ready to progress a few projects. So I know what we're doing over the next few weekends.

Maureen and I tootled back up from the bottom of the valley and wandered a few streets in Johnsonville. I had no idea where I was so Maureen guided me to a spot I recognised and said goodbye to each other at Onslow. Got home after the 25km fun. Then into the car to head to Kara's place. Sally and Andrew came over too. Takeaways. And a good catch up with Kara. Who is not faring too well - her femur is refusing to knit. So she us really hoping some progress happens in the next few weeks. We left her place quite late (maybe 10pm!) and popped a huge bag from plums from 40WLW at the Sampson's household before going home to bed.

Taking up the masking tape on the painted stairs

Sunday saw a lazy day for me. But I did get the stairs all done. Yay. 3 coats on all the risers. Took off the masking tape and it all looks so good. Sweet. top stair to sort out - and the stringers replaced.

Then off to bed. Up for a quick drive to town this morning to get my bike and PC from work. Friday night meant it was all there. But back to WFH today.

Hope your week is a good one.

Love,

Angela
