We got up and Jon did a bit on online banking and we had breakfast. He phoned Malcolm to talk to him about hotels and things for when he comes over. He has not been well and was admitted to hospital just before Christmas due to palpitations. He is OK now but needs to go back and see his GP. Hopefully he will be fine when he comes out here.
It was rather late and really hot by the time we got Totty out and she really didn't like it. We walked around the park and then came back.
We went into Tauranga to see if the dressmaker was open but it wasn't so I will have to go in again tomorrow to take Jon's trousers to have them shortened as he would like them to go to Oz. We then went for coffee and I had an iced coffee and it was very good.
We then went to buy some towels as I don't have enough really big ones for when Jane and Malcolm come over. We got some really big bath sheets for £3 each in the sale. Egyptian cotton, made in India for a NZ company. The cotton has done some miles to get here.
We then popped over to Bayfair and bought some lettuce and bananas, they go off so fast here you can only buy them a few at a time.
By the time we got back we were very hot so we had lunch and then I just sat on the deck in my sun lounger and read my book and it was very pleasant.
I made a chilli and then we took Totty out for a cooler walk than she had this morning.
We had dinner and I had no wine tonight so I managed to stay awake to watch the second part of Oliver Twist which was very good.
WEATHER
Really hot and muggy all day. The TV said Tauranga had got up to 27 which is shade temperature so it felt much hotter. We didn't get the showers they forecast just a few drops of rain before bedtime.
