Wednesday

Seems the storm finally blew itself out and we woke to a calm morning but with lots of damage around and about. High tides and winds had caused lots of problems all over the north island but as far as I can see we have no more trees down.

I went into Tauranga to meet some of the ladies from Lions as we were able to pick over the remaining books from the Rotary book sale. There was not a lot there and we only wanted to have the good books as we have enough of our own rubbish.

It didn't take long and then I went down into town for a coffee but resisted the date scone.

I had a wander round the shops and found two pairs of jeans which fit very well and were in the sale.

I passed by the Red Cross to return the hearing aid that one of the ladies had let me borrow for Jon but she is in Australia this week. I will need to catch her next week as she is then off to UK for three months.

I got home and sorted out my washing. The weather did not look good enough to hang it out so I had to put it on the dryers in the garage where it will probably take three days to dry!!

I had lunch and then went over to the book rooms where I sorted yet more magazines but I now feel we are getting there with them and it looks more orderly.

Patricia and I had a mini meeting about the dinner meeting last night and we went through the quiz questions. I hope they all enjoy it.

I went straight home as it had started to rain and was looking very damp.

After feeding Totty I made a cup of tea and then went up to the office to edit the question list and get them copied ready for the meeting tomorrow. It took me ages as I have never worked with PDF before but I think I am up on it all now thanks to the Internet!!

I had just finished when Jon came home from work and I went down to make the dinner.

After dinner I had an email from Heather asking if she could call which she did and we had a nice chat. She is feeling better now and I told her to have some chicken soup and surprise, surprise she did have some in the larder.

Just going to finish my blog and off to bed. Big day tomorrow with the Americas Cup but I have my doubts that NZ can pull it off as USA have done so well over the last few days. Still, fingers crossed they can win.
