Tuesday

Well I wasn't exactly cold last night but I did have to put my dressing gown on the bed as I didn't feel cosy.

Nice and sunny again today and that wind has gone away but there is still a chill in the air.

My keep fit class was really energetic this morning and we all worked really hard. I didn't stay for coffee as I wanted to deliver the rest of the book sale leaflets which I managed to do.

When I got back after a quick coffee I dyed my hair which really needed it. I hope Malcolm and Jane can bring me some more out when they come in Jan/Feb.

After lunch I went into Tauranga as I needed to buy a few more little presents to go in with the box of goodies I am sending over to the girls for Heather's 21 and Christmas. I have it all packed up now and will get it in the post tomorrow.

I called Janice to arrange to pick her up this evening for Lions and I phoned Les to arrange to pick her up tomorrow.

When I took Totty out I met Alison and we had a chat. I said I will give her a call and she can come over one afternoon for a cup of tea when she finishes school.

I had my dinner early as I had to go out. Jon has started going out to the park each evening for a jog. He hasn't jogged for years so I have told him he must take it easy to begin with. He is probably fitter now than he has been for many years.

Lions was interesting. They have so much on and need everyone to muck in in a big way for the book sale and the raffle and of course there are some members who do an awful lot and some who don't do much. I think I am about in the middle. I feel bad giving over the weekends as it means leaving Jon on his own and that is the time we go out so I have to strike a balance. On the 28 Nov I am helping at the book sale from 8.00 - 11.30 (they have early starts her in NZ) I then have the Red Cross Christmas lunch from 12.00 - 3.00 and my keep fit class lunch the day before so all in all I see a very busy time coming up. I am not sure I would have joined had I known how much commitment there was as i hate to feel I am not pulling my weight. Still if they are not happy I am sure I will hear about it and I can always leave.
