I got up and put Heather's cards and presents out on the table so that they would be there for her when she got up. I couldn't find the wrapping paper so had to wrap them in kitchen paper!!!
I was just pottering around the house when I heard a lorry outside and realised we had missed the binman - can't get used to the new day!! As I looked out I saw that the roadworks men had put a huge pipe across our drive and suddenly remembered the letter we had yesterday saying that we might have limited access to our drive!!! I quickly ran out and a huge digger was holding onto the end of a pipe that stretched for about 100 meters and he was slowly placing it along the edge of the pavement in front of every house. I asked the workman to wait until I got my car out and ran back in to get my keys and told Heather to move hers. 'I can't go out like this' she said 'I am still in my PJs' Well I said if you don't move it now it will be in till four o'clock. I ran out and had to drive all along the pavement till I could get off and had to park down the road. Just as I was walking back and the men had once again started to edge the pipe into place, Heather came out of the drive!! It was really funny as she was still in her PJ's but wearing a hoodie and her trainers!! When they said 9.00 I didn't think they would be quite so punctual.
We finally got ready and went to Maungatapu to pick up some books and we both needed to put petrol in our cars. I met the nanny from next door to our old house and had a chat. Heather then parked her car and we continued in my car to change some cushions I had bought and buy a lightweight duvet for her.
We then met Jon for lunch and it was very good. On the way back we stopped for a birthday cake and then I dropped Heather at her car and I went on to the book rooms.
I did a couple of hours there and then came home and sat and read my book with a cup of tea. Heather went to meet Emma from work and had her nails done.
I took Tot out and Jon came home and we got ready and went out to the Italian for dinner and it was really good.
We got back and had some birthday cake and then we all went to bed very tired.
