A relaxing day

We woke this morning to a cloudy/sunny start to the day but it was warm.

We had breakfast and then waited for the landlord to arrive as he was due at 10.20. When he had not arrived by 10.50 I checked on flight arrivals and saw that their flight was delayed and not due in till 11.20 so we decided to go out and have our coffee as we thought they would not have time to come to the house before the wedding they were going to.

We went into Tauranga and had coffee at a new place next door to one of our favourite places and it was very good and the raspberry and white chocolate muffin was just too good and I think it would be best if I never go there again!!!!

We passed by one of Jon's favourite shops and saw it was closing down and so we just had to go in and two polo shirts and a pair of shorts later we came out!!

We then went to a gift shop I like and I bought some bits and pieces for Jane and Kirsty's Hen Nights so I will need to get them in the post.

We then went and bought a new wheel for the lawnmower and hopefully this one will fit and will not be a 'bodge' job like the other one was.

Off to the supermarket and I bought what I thought I needed for tonight's dinner - I forgot my list!!!

When we got back we had no idea if the landlord had been or not and Totty was no help!!!

I did forget the mushrooms for the dinner but never mind we can live without them.

We had lunch out on the deck as it was such a lovely afternoon and no wind. Jon then went out to cut the grass now that he has four working wheels it is much easier!

I spent the afternoon planning our Easter road trip and looking for accommodation which, on the East Cape is few and far between and we have no choice - one motel or nothing! That said I am really looking forward to it as I am told it is one of the most beautiful parts of NZ and it is where the sun rises first of all. WE hope to do a bit of self catering as it is usually 20% surcharge over the Easter holidays so we will take our chilly bin full of ice and hopefully sort ourselves out looking out over the lovely views.

I also manged to catch up with some emails and some letters to my auntie and uncle.

As Totty won't go out walking Jon and I took her into the garden this evening and we threw the ball to each other and she ran backwards and forwards between us for a good 15 minutes which is the most exercise she has had in a long time. She has spent the rest of the evening sleeping!!

It is a lovely clear evening tonight and there are so many stars to be seen.

We had some nice drinks before dinner Jon and a G & T and I had a very nice pina colada. Dinner was good, too followed by some good blue cheese.

WEATHER
Some cloud but mainly warm and sunny 24 degrees
