I took the dog for a walk on my own as Jon was chopping wood and met Bronwy and Peter with Uppy and Maddie and fortunately they were all well behaved. We let them off in the park and all was well as we walked around and then Bronwyn said to Peter had you better put Uppy back on the lead as we were nearing the gate. I swear that dog understood every word as he took off across the park and out the other side and into a garden. I can understand now why he is a failed guide dog!!!
Peter went after him and didn't come back either so we walked across and I was left with two dogs while Bronwyn went into the garden to look for them. It was really funny as she was walking past the window she saw the owners still in bed! She got out fast but still no Peter or Uppy. Looks like he escaped out the back of the garden and made his way down to Rotary Park.
We walked down to the park and met a cross Peter walking back with the dog who has no shame and looked very pleased with himself. Fortunately the tide was out or he would have been in the water and very wet!
Jon finished chopping wood and needed a shower and then we went out to Tauranga and had a coffee sitting outside in lovely sunshine, so warm Jon had to take his jumper off.
We went to the library to change our books and then Jon wanted to look for a new jacket for work so we went to a little shop where we have bought other things for him. They had a sale on and he tried two jackets on and liked them both and could not decide so, and this is where I always want to crawl away and hide, he asked the man what he could do on the price if he bought both. Bearing in mind the jackets were already half price the man gave him another $25 off. He is a true salesman!
We then had a quick visit to the supermarket and went home for lunch.
It was so lovely we decided to go out to Te Puna Quarry and take Totty out for a long walk. We got to the top of the park and sat on a bench looking at the view which is lovely and looks across to the Mount and right over Tauranga and I never tire of it.
I cooked a nice winter fruit salad and used only half the ingredients but there is enough to feed an army!
We had some nice fish served on hummus with cherry tomatoes and it was very good.
Jon's back is hurting with all that chopping!

Sunny and crisp all day
