House inspection day!

I was up early and showered and hair done and we were out with Totty by 9.00, we are usually much later on Saturdays.

Spoke to Jane this morning and then she had to go and have her take away with Kirsty.

We went out for coffee and then I did my stint selling baubles for the hospice outside Warehouse. Some of the messages are just too sad to read but it is a lovely idea.

We went home to wait for Seleena who didn't turn up till 1.30 and we were starving by that time. She came with her heavily pregnant daughter and her scary partner who was a really big guy with a ring through his lip. She hardly looked at the house but said it all looked fine to her. She took some things from her cupboard downstairs. She is not doing uni now and has a job with an estate agent in property management and will be staying in Auckland. We told her we are staying for four years and she asked if we would want the house and we said yes please so she said she will think about it - fingers crossed.

We had a very late lunch by the time she left it was nearly 3.00.

We then went off to buy Jon a bike as he thinks he would prefer that to jogging. We got a very nice Dunlop bike for £70 and he came back and put it together.

While we were out we also bought our Christmas bottle of wine with a voucher I had from my supermarket loyalty card and three little bottles of sparkling wine for Christmas day - I won't have anyone to help me drink a large bottle as Jon doesn't like it.

We got back and had a cup of tea and then took Totty out.

When we got back Jon cooked a BBQ and it was really good. I had made chicken kebabs in a Thai sweet chilli sauce and pork kebabs in a hoi sin sauce and we had a little lamb chop and the best sausage I have ever had over here. It was lamb with honey and Rosemary. Usually the sausages are pretty solid things but these are very nice and moist so I will try this brand again.

WEATHER.
Warm but overcast for most of the day Sun came out in the evening.
