Hi,
What a great evening - I got home and dinner was cooked and very yummy. Ta Aidan and ta to her family for looking after wee Toby for a few days.
Today I am at home because Toby is finally not feeling the best after a week watching a rash chase around his body. It might just be he is getting a cold, but I'm taking him to the doctors this afternoon to check.
It does mean I am likely to miss our work night out tonight. Pants. Or "epic pants" as Rex said. Yep.
Mike gets home tonight at midnight. Hooray!
Have a good day!
Love,
Angela

The Tuesday with pamphlet deliveries
Hi,
What a lovely evening last night. I got home on the bus (felt weird, first time busing in and out for ages) and went and delivered Mike's Wadestown Residents Association pamphlets about this weekend's hard rubbish collection (I bet you're supposed to volunteer for that, Mike!). Out and about was good fun as a change and I texted Mike and chatted to Aidan. I was done before I knew it!
Home to tidy up for the guest chef tonight (Wednesday). Aidan is cooking tea tonight at our house and the only stipulation was the kitchen should be clean. Hope it passes muster.
I talked (briefly and in monosyllables) to Toby as he was watching some TV. Don't think he was missing me terribly much. Hopefully Mike was missing me more!
Got most of my chores done last night. The ride down this hill this morning was great fun. As I rode out of the garage Simon (neighbour across the way) rode out of his driveway. So we rode down the hill together chatting away. The roads were still wet, but the air was dry. Simon said he'd go slow because he has dodgy brakes he can't seem to fix correctly at present, but even so - I couldn't get away from him! When it's wet I am a bit of an old woman on the corners!
Busy at work. Everything seems to be ramping up to about two weeks of frantic activity! We'll see.
Have a marvellous day!
Love,
Angela

The Monday with Mike and a Cub planning meeting
Hi,
Tuesday morning now and the rain has stopped for a bit. I got quite soaked riding home last night - my fluoro jacket went straight in the washing machine and now it is almost dry. I took the bus into work today with Toby because he is getting looked after for a sleepover tonight up in Waikanae. So we had his overnight bag and Aidan collected him just now from the front of my work.
Mike left this morning at 3:45am. I must be getting used to it, because I hardly woke this time. Heheheheh. He is back late on Thursday (midnight).
Last night we had our planning session for Cubs for the last term. The two existing leaders finish up so Mike and I are taking on all the admin this term. Or rather - I am! Mike is away most of the term in Sydney for Cub night.
Tonight I am delivering pamphlets for the Wadestown Residents Association that Mike didn't quite get done at the weekend. Then the night is mine! No husband, no son! Might watch a girls movie I think!
Have a great day!
Love,
Angela

The weekend with Mike and fantasic fun
Hi,
What an amazing weekend - wish they could all be such fun. The weather wasn't up for much, but neither was I so that was fine by me. Toby and I left Wellington at around 6:30pm on Friday after collecting Brennan and Chelsea. We ate at Maccas in Petone to get stomachs full for the Rimutaka windy windy road (Chelsea clutched an ice cream container but fortunately she didn't need it).
Eventually we got to Waikuku Lodge at about 9:15pm. I had forgotten how windy the gravel road is into the lodge and it took ages. Off to bed eventually.
Saturday it was rainy off and on (more on than off) but some of us ventured out. I read a lot. And ate a lot. All weekend! It was great. The sort of weekend you dream about when it is a tough day at work. In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by good company, buckets of yummy food, a thick book to read. Choice! I did get out of the lodge once or twice. Once to attempt (feebly) to chop wood with a huge axe, and once after dinner to see if we could shoot anything (no!).
The weekend fell on Malcolm's birthday and we had a lot of cake to get through as well as lemon cake made on the premises (ta Marion and Chelsea). Mike arrived at about 2pm after a good Friday night out with work and a sleep in! Col also arrived just before him after working late Friday!
Saturday Malcolm and Ron found enough copper wire to fashion an aerial for an old radio and we all listened to the France/Wales semi final. Pants outcome! The Welsh were a good team this RWC. They will give Australia a run for their money!
Sunday I went for a walk with Helen, Iona and Col and enjoyed some sunshine (and some rain). Then we had lunch and packed up for the weekend. Great fun! More please.
Toby and I dropped off Brennan and Chelsea and stayed for dinner after the cup of tea. Mike cooked and it was wonderful. Wellington was glorious and we ate outside in the setting sun.
Home to get ready for the big game and the All Blacks were on fire! The first 15 minutes had the game virtually sealed. Next week - the final! Oooooossssshhh!
Have a great week!
Love,
Angela

The Thursday with Mike!
Hi,
Mike is home and Toby and I are very happy. I couldn't get back to sleep after he came to bed. The excitement of it all.
Tonight Toby and I are off to Waikuku Lodge (after collecting Brennan and Chelsea) and Mike will join us tomorrow morning. We haven't been there for ages. I am looking forward to it.
Today I have a presentation to give at work. Pants, eh? I hope that goes ok. It is about... me! Oh dear. But, at least I know the topic. Heheheheh.
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Angela

The Wednesday with nothing
Hi,
My sister Karen is right. School holidays are way easier than term times. Last night I rode to collect Toby and found out that it was raining up in Wadestown, but dry in town. Or rather, I think I rode into low cloud hanging around the hills. You couldn't call it rain!
Then we went home and had toast for dinner. With two veges! So it was healthy. Sort of.
Mike's home tonight so our meals might get a bit more substantial again. Toby and I are very pleased. Mind you, he is away to Sydney Tues, Wed, Thurs next week!
We're away this weekend to Waikuku Lodge in the south of the Wairarapa. Should be a pleasant weekend. I was almost hoping to avoid the semi final angst, but we'll be back in time for the All Blacks v Australia game on Sunday night. Aaarrgghh! Can't wait. Can wait. Very nervous.
User group tonight so I drove in so I can collect Toby at 1700 and be back in town by 1730 for the start. I also drove home again as I forgot my work swipe card - it was still in my bike shorts. Oops. So I have driven twice as far as I needed to this morning, and sang twice as loud to some Pink songs than I needed to too!
Have a great day!
Love,
Angela

The Tuesday with nothing
Hi,
Heheheheh - a Tuesday evening spent relaxing with Toby. Very nice thank you very much. Tuesday itself was fine - it rained during the day while I was at work. The roads were dry for the ride in and the ride home. Perfection!
Toby rang me at 9:30am with a message I could barely discern. After the third listen I figured out he had a bleeding nose from a head butt and wanted me to collect him. But after talking to him and the carer, he decided to stay at Skids. Good on him. He was absolutely fine when I collected him.
Also caught up with Aidan for a cup of tea in the afternoon. That was a pleasant surprise as she was in for lunch and a meeting of some description. Lucky me.
Tonight is another night with nothing on. School holidays are good in a way. Tomorrow night is user group night so I need to sort out Toby for that.
Have a marvellous day.
Love,
Angela
