60th Birthday booked

We didn't have anything planned for today so had a relaxing morning and took Totty out for a walk.

I took Jon over to a new cafe we have not been to before but I saw it when I went to Elizabeth's the other day. It was a really old wooden building 1875 and has been turned into an art gallery and cafe. Not the sort of art I like but very interesting and the coffee and 'healthy' muffin was delicious.

We then came back and Jon then spent a long time on the Internet looking for flight for Thailand for my 60 birthday and finally got it sorted out. We need to fly Auckland to Brisbane then Brisbane Phuket and rather than have to get to the airport for 5.00 am we are going to Brisbane the night before. When we come back we fly to Melbourne and have a four hour stopover before flying on to Auckland. We are flying V Australia which is all part of Virgin. We couldn't find any direct flight to Phuket from Auckland, they go via Australia or you fly to Singapore, Kuala Lumpar or Bangkok and the stopovers were so long so hopefully we have got the right flights.

I don't know which hotel we are staying at as Jon is keeping it a surprise.I don't usually like surprises but he obviously doesn't want me to know so I think it might be something special.

We had some nice stir fry pork with cashews for dinner and then I fell asleep again while watching TV. I do it every night even though I try not to as I then can't sleep when I go to bed.

WEATHER
A little overcast and a nip in the air first thing but very hot when the sun is out
