We woke to a lovely sunny morning and it was so good to see the sun again after all the rain. However, I think we might be in for more rain later.
I tried to take Tot out for a walk but as she could hear some of the heavy machinery down the road working on the pipes she just would not walk so back we went. I hope nobody was looking out of their windows or they would think I was mad with the pushing and pulling of her! My car was booked in for a service this morning so I had to be out early.
I left the car at 8.30 and then walked to the Red Cross and both Les and Sharon were surprised to see me so early. We had a good morning and I put out lots of children's things and tidied it all again as it gets in such a mess when I am not there. Viv and Margaret came in to see us after the keep fit Christmas coffee morning which they said was good with lots of food.
I left to go and collect my car and it was still lovely and sunny. I went straight to the book rooms to help tidy things up but I was so hungry as I had forgotten to buy a sandwich. I did have a cup of tea and a piece of cake which kept me going till I got home.
When I got back it was too late to have lunch so I had some nuts and then got ready for the Christmas dinner. It started to rain and was really heavy so Tot didn't get an afternoon walk.
We had booked a taxi which arrived and took us into Tauranga and it was then a lovely sunny evening. We were not looking forward to the meal as we have been to this restaurant chin in the Mount and it was terrible but I have to say the meal was very good and everyone enjoyed it. We had to rearrange the tables as they had set three separate ones and so we joined two together which was better. I was introduced to Kahlua and Baileys shots and very nice they are, too.
After the dinner we sat outside and had a few drinks and it started to pour with rain. Lisa went and found a taxi for her and Michelle and her taxi driver called one for us and we came home. Not as late as last year but a good night. I have to take Tot to the vet for 9.30 tomorrow so just as well we weren't late.
