Totty scratching all night so gave her a good brush in bath, one flea lots of dead bits so cleaned her bed and hopefully she will be better tonight.
I went to my swimming class but could not find my admission card that I bought last week which is for 10 sessions. I just don't know where it can be so I had to pay for my class again. I asked if it had been handed in but they said it would be unlikely as anyone can use it.
Went for coffee after the class with Carol and she told us all about her son's wedding in Bali, sounds lovely.
After coffee I went to the shops to buy a present for Justin as Heather only told me it was his birthday a few days ago so it is going to be late arriving. I bought him a T shirt and hope it will fit as I have not met him so not sure of the size. Went straight to the PO and sent if off and then went home for lunch.
I had to pop in to the light shop on the way home as the bulb in the light near the computer broke last night. it is a very small strip light and it took us ages to take the light apart to get it out.
Angela called to say she had been working and was very tired so could we change the class but I am not free for the rest of the week so said I would see her on Friday at the Red Cross.
Having no class gave me the time to take Totty out for a walk and then go into Tauranga to buy cards and presents for my sisters birthdays and it suddenly hit me that I had forgotten my niece's birthday. I am so used to getting warning on FB and I haven't looked at the calendar so I forgot, shame on me! So I had to go and buy another card to send to her. I also popped into the library to pick up the last of the Tilly Trotter books I am reading. I thought I had read them and decided to read them again but when I got the first one out from the library I realised I hadn't read them so I have been hooked on them for the last three weeks and had to reserve the last one as it was not on the shelf.
We are in the process of doing all the paperwork for out residence visas as they are due for renewal in January. We could extend the ones we have but as we don't know how long we are going to stay here it is probably better to apply for permanent residency and then we can come and go as we please and stay as long as we want. It does make sense as it is all very expensive to do and we have to have medicals, blood tests and x-rays all over again. We also need police checks again and even though we have been living here since we had the last check we have to apply to the UK for them which seems very silly as we could have been criminals here! With this in mind I had to go to the bank and get proof from them that we have a bank account here and our address is here.
Finally got home and had an hour of peace and caught up with some of the many TV programmes I have recorded.
Jon didn't go to the gym tonight so we went for a walk with Tot. The tide was in and very high so she decided to chase the water as it was lapping up against the wall and for fear of her falling in I had to put her on the lead as I didn't fancy going in after her.
Jon found flea on him when sitting next to Tot so the stuff I put on her works, they jump from her to us now!!!
We had dinner, fish but it was a bit dry.
I read my book while Jon was watching Dr Who. Somebody was setting off fireworks and poor Tot was running around like a mad thing. I forget about fireworks here as it just doesn't seem right as it is so light. I must ask someone why they have them.
WEATHER
After a cloudy start it was hot and sunny 20 degrees
