After such a lovely day yesterday it was a shock to wake to heavy cloud and a cold wind that's NZ for you.
So pleased to hear that the girls all went to buy Kirsty's wedding dress yesterday so she is very happy now.
We had a lazy morning and took Tot out before going to the Mount for coffee at the Swiss Chalet which is on what they call the Cruise Deck a small shopping plaza. While having our coffee I noticed a shop with a sale on of nothing over $59 and so after coffee we went to have a look. I found a lovely pair of Australian designer jeans reduced from $150 and in my size. They are such a lovely fit apart from being too long and so I bought them.
We walked along the street and I went into a lovely shoe shop which also had a sale on, lots of sales at the moment, as I am looking for some nice navy shoes for the wedding but it is so hard to find here in NZ. At the back of the shop they had a reduced section and I found some really lovely navy shoes reduced to $40 and with a insole they are so comfortable and do not bother my troublesome bunion and as they were reduced from $130 it was such a good buy. I just hope my dress is OK when it arrives!!
On our way back to the car we stopped at the Farmer's Market as we saw a sign selling Cornish Pasties and we had a taste. They were soooo good and just like real Cornish pasties so blow went the diet and we bought two for lunch.
We stopped to buy some fruit and vegetables on the way home and were back in the house by lunchtime.
The pasties were so good and I didn't feel at all guilty for eating it.
We spent a quiet afternoon, Jon in the garden reading the paper till it rained and I downloaded the full set of Anne of Green Gables. After finishing the book yesterday I just have to find out what happens to her. I have to say it is a lovely book and well worth the read. Fortunately, it is one of the 'free' books from my eReader company which is good.
We had some lovely lamb chops cooked on the bbq tonight but Jon was out cooking them on his own and I was inside making the salad and setting the table - so different to last night when we sat out for a long time.
After dinner we watched an episode of Lewis which was very enjoyable.
Off to bed now as I have a busy morning walking around the Mount as long as it is not raining!
