Hi,
The long Kings Birthday weekend in Christchurch went well despite the disappointment of the Sydney crowd not able to get across. Apparently there was an oversubscribed key flight back so they could not risk it. But it did mean Tessa joined us for the Spacey Jane concert and she enjoyed it. Yay! Let's see how the weekend panned out.

At a new cafe - Good Intentions? Was that its name? |
Flew in late Thursday and got to our Salerno motel just fine. Checked in and then went to Poms for some cheese dip and chips and gravy before we dropped Toby and Tessa off home and went to our unit and to bed.

At Spacey Jane |
Mike had to get his 100km running done by the end of May. So he came home to run and we went to Hoi Polloi for dinner. Quite a nice tea there. I had mushroom ravioli - it was good. Mike joined us after knocking off 6.5km leaving about 6.5km to go for the month.

We drove out at 8.30pm to Darfield and just beyond to get a view to the south without the lights of West Melton or Rolleston. The naked eye bareky detected anything but our cameras picked up the show easily.

Don't look down! |
We went for a run first thing Monday - great morning. Then got Toby and headed to Little Poms. Then filled in our day with some shopping and playing catch in the park.

At Little Poms |
Went to Poms with Tessa after her work and enjoyed that. Then dropped them and the car off at their place and Ubered back to our unit.
In bed just after 10pm and up at 5am for a quick shower and an Uber to the airport at 5.40am. Got into the queue for security that was almost at the end of its queue management ability. Took 20 - 25 mins to get through that and got to our gate and weighed our bags as they opened for boarding. Phew!
Easy flight home. Uber to the house. Happy cats. Thank you Jason for looking after the wee rascals.
And now at work! WFH today.
Take care - have a great week.
Love,
Angela
