  • Saturday 22nd December

     

     

     

    My day began with an early phone call giving me some rather bad news.

    I was pretty upset and had a bit of a cry.

    But then got up and got on with things.

    Hopped into the spa for a wee while.

    I fed Shoshannah's birds.

    I was planning on doing some sorting of stuff that I am trying to clean out.

    But the day sorta disappeared in a few spells of laziness.

    Just didn't really feel like doing much so I didn't.

     

    Bri & Nick arrived at 3pm.

    They had driven up from Christchurch - long hot drive.

    The '88 South' crew arrived back soon after.

    They were all very happy.

    They had gotten 3 deer and loads of fish.

    A successful trip.

    There was a lot of unpacking to do and loads of dishes.

    Everyone pitched in and got everything cleaned up.

     

    I made a large quiche with all the leftovers - it will be good for lunches over the next few days.

    Also made a large apple & kiwifruit crumble for dessert.

    Dinner was fresh fish, salad and Azzan's roastie potato chunks.

    Very yummy.

    Leann cooked up the two crayfish they caught.

    They were soon demolished!

    Azzan was very happy to discover that his canned seed Anson & Marah had bought him in Australia had finally grown while he was away.

    It is very cute - it has Thank You on one side and a smiley face on the other.

    Patrick had packed up all his gear before they went camping so Bri & Nick could have their room, and he went to sleep at Anson's for the night.
