Wet but still managed a round of golf

After much overnight rain we all managed a lie in this morning.


After breakfast Jon and I took
totty down to Rotary Park and had a nice walk but after yesterdays rain it was very wet under foot.


When we got back Heather was up but decide not to come out with us for coffee as she was waiting to speak to some friends in the UK.


Jon and I went up to Gate Pa for coffee and while it was warm when the sun poked through when it was behind the clouds it was very chilly.


After coffee we went to have a look at the public golf course on the Oropi Road. It looked nice and was very cheap and the man told us that in the afternoons it was not busy - just what we like.


We got home and after catching up with some emails it was lunchtime. We then went over to Papamoa to have a look around the shops as Heather wanted to and we needed to buy some meat for dinner.


When we got back we left Heather watching some of the awful American trash she enjoys and we went to play some golf. We really enjoyed it and had a lovely afternoon (I did feel a little bit guilty leaving Heather on her own though). We played as bad as we did last week but we really enjoyed it. Jon lost three balls and I lost one - there is a lot of water around this course!!!


We got home and Heather wanted dinner from the fish and chip shop so Jon took her along to order it and they had a drink along at the pub while they waited and I cooked a steak for Jon and I.


After dinner Jon said he was not feeling well and he did look very flushed so after some paracetamol he went off to bed and I continued on my blog.


I had a chat to Heather about her plans to stay here or go back to the UK. She says the job is not adding or helping with her work experience but I was trying to make her see that being in a different country may not add to work experience but it does add to life experience. I don't want her to leave here and then get back and regret it. But it is her choice and she will do what she wants.
