Saturday

After our late night we had a nice lie in this morning and even the dog didn't wake up till we did.

We had breakfast and then walked Totty. It wasn't cold but there was a bit of rain in the air.

We went into Tauranga and had a coffee. We had a walk around the shops and I had a $45 loyalty voucher from a handbag shop which was rather nice. We went to have a look and they had a sale on and I found a lovely bag reduced from $229 to $89 and with my voucher it only cost $44 so I was really pleased with that.

I went to buy a garter for Kirsty and found a really nice one which has blue on it so that will be her 'something blue'. We just need the something 'old' now.

I bought a watch at the Red Cross yesterday for $7 and it is really pretty but the bracelet is too big. I wasn't sure it would work so I went into a jewellers and asked him to put a battery in and if it worked to take some links out. He did and it works and I now have a nice watch for not very much money.

It was only 12.00 by the time we had finished shopping and the table for lunch was booked for 1.00 so not enough time to go home so we went and sat in the library and Jon read the papers and I read some magazines. It was really pleasant sitting there in the quiet with such a choice of magazines and passed the time till lunch.

Lunch was at an Italian place on The Strand and they gave us a table overlooking the harbour which was very nice even though it was not sunny. The food was really good and for pudding we shared an Espresso Crem Brulee which was delicious. I was very full at the end and was glad to get home and relax.

We lit the fire and watched TV and read and the afternoon passed nicely.

We just had a sandwich for dinner as we were not that hungry.

Early night tonight after the late one last night.
