Totty's birthday

I seem to have rushed around all day, sorting cleaning, washing and packing!!

I took Tot out and met a nice lady walking her dog and she was from Singapore and we had a nice chat, her dog is old, too.

I managed to get the parcels ready for the post for the girls stocking fillers.

I went out and had a coffee on my way to the supermarket. I went into one of the shops I used to go to often and saw a lovely dress and skirt and a tankini. I was trying them on and it suddenly struck me how strange it was to be trying summer clothes on and they were playing Christmas Carols!!

I then went to my old post office in Maungatapu and bought a box and packed it while I was there. It cost me over £40 in postage for the things I sent and I haven't finished yet. I think I might give up on cards again next year!!

When I got back it was gone 2.00 and Heather was waiting for her lunch and I had the bread!!! She had to go out and meet Jon to try the cocktail food they have ordered for the re launch of the pest division in January.

I spent the rest of the afternoon packing and sorting and making pizza for dinner.

Jon came home and we finally got things sorted and we had dinner and after dinner  took Tot out. She is not a happy dog as she has seen the suitcases and is sulking.

I wrote more cards this evening and will post them in Auckland tomorrow as Heather and Jon have to be at the port for work and so I will need to keep myself busy in Auckland. I might pop over to Devonport on the ferry if it is nice.

I will be glad when we are on the plane as I am so looking forward to doing nothing but read my books, drink cocktails and watch the sunsets - bliss.

So probably no more blog till we get back.

Sunny with some cloud 21 degrees
