  • Saturday 19th January

     

     

     

    After the long previous day and late night it was a bit of a struggle to wake up.

    But I was through the shower and ready for the day by the time David & Sasha got up.

    After a quick morning chat I headed off to get a few things done.

    I stopped off at the Flooring shop and had a look at kitchen flooring.

    The lady was very very helpful and I was able to come away with a sample.

    Then into the city to join all the other Saturday morning shoppers.

    Got Mahalia's phone sorted.

    She had not only managed to completely block her sim card but she had also totally blocked her phone.

    So a new phone had to be bought - as an early birthday present!!

    And with major instructions about not stuffing this one up!!

     

    Liby was home from Oz so we met up for coffee.

    I dragged her through the crazy busy Saturday market crowds and got myself a salmon & avocado wrap from the Wrap Shack and then we headed back to Starbucks to enjoy our frappacinos upstairs in the relative quiet.

    It was lovely to have an hour to sit and catch up.

    All too soon we had to head our separate ways.

    I was cruising the shoe sales when I got a phone call from Hitomi saying she could see me earlier if it worked for me.

    It sure did, so I climbed up the stairs and spent the next 1.5 hours at Renaissance Hair.

    I was so tired that it was just lovely to sit and let her play while I dozed.

    Gillian arrived up with her Nutrimetics samples to show me while I was 'cooking' happy

    She had to leave before I was finished - so Gill - this pic is for you winky

    Once I had finished we went to get groceries, and I also wanted to get some photo frames for Nathan's graduation photo and his Licence Controller Qualification certificate he had just received.

    His smile got a huge audience response on the day pleased

     

    I also found some great bargains at Briscoes while there so had to do some repacking in the Terrano when I came out!

    Zipped around to pick up our new wwoofer, Tobias from Germany.

    We then ran in and got our dinner to eat on the run from the Pita Pit.

    They were delicious.

    I got a frappacino and then we left town via Hangar 58 so I could give Nathan his pictures and say goodbye.

    The two girls sat in the backseat and despite them telling me how tired they were they chatted furiously the whole way home!

     

    The crew had not long been home from the Te Towoka Sports day.

    Tim had taken Azzan, Mahalia, Lily & Ella around by road.

    The guys all went out fishing and Marah hung out with Phoebe.

    They were all tired but full of the fun of the day.

    The children had brought home heaps of prizes so obviously did well in the races.
