Friday and Saturday

Friday
 
The usual Friday morning routine and both of us out to work but at least the sun was shinning this morning.

Sharon was off ill and has been ill with flu all week so it was just Les and I. Now that the new stock is in and the shop revamped it was much busier than it has been for the past month which I really like. The shop is now a lot smaller and so the stock has to be put out more often so there is always something to do.

When I finished at 1.00 I walked to my car and I pass the Salvation Army shop and always pop in to see what they have in their bric-a-brac and I found a lovely glass plate that is made here in NZ and cost a lot of money and it was $5!!!! It still has the named label on the back so I know it is genuine and I later saw one in Tauranga for $40 so I got a real bargain and I know somebody who will really like it!!

I then went to collect our tickets for the Grease performance on Saturday night. I also bought a present for Jon's nephew's new baby and posted it so a busy hour!

Once home I had my lunch and took Totty out for a walk.

I had to go over to the dressmaker at Bayfair for 4.30 to collect my trousers and nearly missed it as I was not watching the time!

I rang Sharon and we had a chat and she sounds very blocked up but says she is getting better.

Jon came home and we watched the news and then he went out for our fish and chips.

I rang my friend in the UK and we had a long chat and when I finished I was going to do my blog but the Internet was down and I couldn't be bothered doing the switching off of the modem etc. so just went to bed.

WEATHER
Sunny spells with some cloud 19 degrees

Saturday

I had a lie in this morning and it was 8.00 before I woke. I have been waking with a headache for a few mornings now and I think it is the way I sleep so will have to change my pillow I think.

After breakfast I went on the computer as I had some things to organise for Lions.

We went over to Bayfair for a coffee and then to the supermarket. We also got a key cut to hide as we both worry that one day we will get locked out and not be able to get in as sometimes the wind blows the doors shut and I always put the mop in the back doorway when I hang out the washing in case it closes as it once did but fortunately, Jon was in.

We got home and had some lunch and as I still had a bad head I just sat on the sofa and read.

We took Totty out for her walk and she walked fine today although we nearly got blown away with the wind..

We left to go out for dinner at 6.00 and had a lovely meal at the Phoenix before going over to the theatre.

I got chatting to the lady next to me and would you believe she used to be the neighbour of one of my friends here in Tauranga. It is a small world.

The show was OK a bit rough round the edges but it was only the second night and I am sure it will get better but the music was good.

We got back and Totty had done a wee on the carpet so I had to clean that up before going to bed so she is in my bad books now.

WEATHER
Sunny spells but a chill wind 17 degrees
