After a lot of rain overnight this morning was a pleasant surprise as it was quite sunny but it didn't last for long!!
We had breakfast and then eventually we managed to get Tot out for her walk.
Jon and I then went out to Bayfair and had a coffee and shared a yummy chocolate muffin and a pot of cream!
I then went and found some new reading glasses - I really need to keep them in a case so they don't get scratched. I bought a muffin to take home for Heather and then we met Mark (owner of Genera) and his wife and had a chat.
We were looking for a piece of furniture to put the drinks in as I am fed up trying to find my baking things and I don't have enough kitchen space. We didn't find anything.
Back home and I had a clear out of the cupboards and took out a lot of the gadgets that the landlady had left but we don't use and I managed to find enough space to put all the drinks etc. I would still like and extra fridge/freezer.
We had an email from Seleena, landlady, to say she was going out to find a new washing machine and would we mind a top loader. I am so happy she is considering one and Jon emailed her to say we would be happy to have one. She told us she had been very ill and at the time of the first repair of the machine had been unable to get out of bed. Shame she did not tell us as we would have sorted it out and bought a new machine and she could have paid us later. Not sure what is wrong with her but she does not sound well. Anyway, she says the new machine will e delivered on Thursday - yeah!!!
We went out to the Warehouse this afternoon and bought a new doorbell and looked for a wine rack. Heather bought a photo frame and some bits for her scrapbook.
Checking out places to go for Labour Day weekend in October. Heather wants to go across to Oz but we think it is too expensive for such a short time and we will just have got back from China and I really don't want to spend all that time travelling for just two days there so we will have to see. I think the Bay of Islands will be a much better choice.
Back home I prepared out roast beef (chicken breast for Heather) for National Roast Dinner Day and it was very good and enjoyed by Jon and I.
