Tuesday

We woke to a lovely sunny day, after all the rain yesterday.

Making tuna sandwiches in bulk at 7.30 in the morning is not something I would recommend however I got them done and onto a plate and into a cool bag with ice blocks ready to deliver after my class.

Jon left for a morning in the office and then to get his flight just after one to Auckland, Melbourne and Mildura. I watched his flight take off from our window.

I left for my keep fit class which was very good but due to the warm day we were all very hot and ready for our coffee.

After class I stopped by at the supermarket to buy a plant for one of the ladies, Patsy, from Lions who has had a big operation and is now at home recovering. As she lives on the way to where I had to deliver the sandwiches I thought I would pop in and see her.

Patsy was well and happy to see me but does look very washed out for her but it was nice to sit and chat with her. She was born in UK but came to NZ when she was very young. She has had a very interesting life and is still fit and doing lots of things and is such a lovely, generous person.

I left to take the sandwiches and nobody was there at the house so I left them on the doorstep - I was so glad I had put them in a cool bag as I really didn't want to wait till they all came back from the funeral and me in my gym stuff!! I sent a text to Patricia to say what I had done but I haven't heard back so not sure if they got them!!!

I came home and took Totty out for her walk and then hung out my washing before having lunch.

I went over to the Mount for my aqua class and what a difference the hour has made! We had the whole class in sunshine which always helps especially when it is time to get out. The pool was very busy as it is school holidays but they do rope off an area of the pool for us and you then get all the kids standing behind the rope doing the class but they never last the full hour!!

I had ten minutes in the hotter pools before my 'cold' shower and heading home.

I had an early dinner as I was so hungry and then watched TV.

Jon rang at 9.45 and was waiting for his next flight. He had had a one hour delay from Auckland and this second flight was also delayed. Melbourne is three hours behind us so I expect he is going to be very hungry and tired by the time he gets to Mildura.

The travel agent is sorting out our trip to The Cook Islands for Christmas and it is al looking very good with three nights in Aitutaki and six nights in Rarotonga. Longer than we wanted but it is because of flights and it is also over the International Date Line which complicates things and has us arriving before we have left!!! Not quite sure about Christmas Day. I suppose we will be the last to celebrate it??

I watched Embarrassing Bodies tonight Ugh!! Jon won't watch it so I have never seen it before. How can people let themselves get like that??

Off to bed now first night without Jon is always a struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep till morning!!
