Met Bud the corgi in the park this morning. He is such a roly poly dog but very sweet. I think he needs to play with Totty a bit more as it is the only time he seems to run!
Went out to Pak n Save to see if I could get some duck for dinner tonight. The man in the shop said 'We had some last week and we will have some next week' and I told him that wouldn't help me for our dinner tonight. Ah well it will have to be chicken breasts instead. Hopefully Jane is bringing me some juniper berries and if I ever manage to buy duck breasts again I will be able to make this recipe with the correct ingredients.
I bought Jon some Lemsip Max and hopefully we can get rid of his cold before we go away.
After lunch I finally manged to get my cake iced, snow scene of course. I wasn't rushing as I don't need it till Jane gets here as it is more for her than us. Shame I couldn't get any Kiwi cake decorations for it though.
I had a nice hour sitting on the deck this afternoon in my bikini. I am trying to get the tops of my arms brown so I can wear some of my sleeveless dresses when we go away. My legs and the bottoms of my arms are fine but I have a definite T shirt line which I need to get rid of.
Jon came home early today, 4.30 but was still the last to leave the office! They have an easy life here.
We had a nice dinner and watched a good programme on TV about the last decade - what a lot has happened. Time is a funny thing cos some of the things seem like only yesterday.
I fell asleep watching TV and woke up and thought it was 11.00 but it was just coming up to midnight but the TV programme was very subdued. Then the fireworks started and we could see the ones in Tauranga and also the Mount and they were very good. Called across to our neighbours to say Happy New Year while they were out watching the fireworks on their balcony. However, I missed singing Auld Lang Syne with Roger who always repeated it again and again and it used to make us all laugh. I think we will have to do something next year as it all feels a bit flat. Jon has now gone to bed and I don't feel like we have had New Year. This must be the first time since I was a little girl that I haven't been at a party or had friends over for dinner. Oh well you can't have everything.
WEATHER
It was a lovely sunny morning but not as hot and muggy as it has been. Sun was very strong in the afternoon but we had a cool breeze in the evening.
