The weekend in Wellington

 Hi,

What a weekend. Kept myself mostly busy. Baked bread Friday. Grabbed some stuff from Mitre10 for Mike for his weekend renovation plans. Digital calipers being one of the things.

Sourdough

Moxley is so relaxed

Look at that!

Two new plants in the greenhouse to join the tomatoes

Got a rock melon plant and an eggplant plant to go in with the tomatoes. No idea if this will work or not. But I like the idea of it all.

Outside dinner

Smudge

Ride Saturday into Makara MTB park

Saturday we did not go to park run. But I did go riding with Maureen. She got to our house at 1pm and we took off to Makara MTB park. went up Koru, then Sally Alley then Three Brothers. Got to the top. Down Zacs to the Skyline. Then along that to above our house.

Yes, readers, I was riding at the edge of my abilities for a lot of this. Hahahah. Had to step off a few switchbacks. Unlocked a new fear - a switchback that curves down. Yes, it has a berm on these corners. No, I did not use them. Yes, I know I should. More practise needed.

Hey there!

On top of the world! Or, maybe, just Makara

I look stupidly happy

Was filthy when I got home

Got home to see Wally there with his mother. Wally was providing advice on the plastering. Sweet! Mike did tackle some of that. Wally's mother (Nora) looked the same as she always has. Good to see her.

Sunday I was up early to get a pick up from Christine to head out to see her horse, Tilly. She is stabled at Green something farm in Ohariu Valley. It was rainy off and on - but also really warm. Tilly is gorgeous. We walked up to where she was in the paddock with Lilly. Lilly is a palomino and followed Tilly down the hill. Christine groomed Tilly and I held her for a while. It was really lovely. Peaceful.

Sunday iced latte - post Tilly 

Left to grab an iced latte at the cafe at the Johnsonville library. That was a nice find! Then home.

Ok - I am a bit obsessed with my greenhouse

Cleaning out the sideboard

Cleaned out the sideboard to fit the hot sauces in there. Yay. They are now accessible and off the top of the sideboard.

Rockmelon

Eggplant

Monday morning tomatoes

I had a migraine around 4pm Sunday. Pants! Felt a bit washed out. But we went to visit Kara and grabbed some Indian takeaways and I felt better by the time we left at 7.30pm.

Slept well. Up for working from home. Set off RoboLux as I work. I like my RoboLux.

Hope you have a great week.

Love,

Angela
