Saturday

Don't you just hate it when you wake up in the early hours and can't get back to sleep. I was awake from 3.00 and last checked the clock at 4.50 so fell asleep after that.

I do feel a bit better today thank goodness but still not in an eating mood but did try some toast.

I sent a text to Les to say that we would not be able to make the bbq and she called to what was wrong. It is a shame as her son and daughter in law and grandson are down from Auckland and she has been wanting me to meet them for ages but something always happens to stop it.

We went across to get some eggs from Welcome Bay and then across to Bethlehem to post some cards and a little present for Jane.

Jon had a coffee and I had a peppermint tea and while sitting in the street Kim, our neighbour from Maungatapu went past and stopped for a chat. They have built a new house and she had said to go over so we really must do so sometime. With three young children and her full time job as a teacher she is always very busy.

We then went to look at some garden furniture as the man who bought ours on Trademe is coming to collect it tomorrow and the other shop has not got back to us so I presume they can't get what we want. We found a lovely set and bought it and it will be delivered next week. It is NZ wood and very nice and will be worth taking back to UK with us unlike the stuff we have just sold.

We then went to the supermarket and I was beginning to feel pretty tired by this time and really couldn't be bothered so a quick trip around to get the few things I needed and then home.

I made lunch and enjoyed some bread and cheese.

I spent the afternoon typing a Christmas letter for people who aren't on email and who I only write to once a year. Fortunately, most people are on email now.

I managed to get the photos sorted for FB with Heather's help the other day and put some more on this evening.

We had a cup of tea and a mince pie and Jon cleaned the furniture ready for the buyer tomorrow.

We had a bbq dinner but I still don't feel like eating hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Off to bed now as I am really tired. Hopefully, I will sleep all night. It is usually Jon that has this problem now I know how he feels.
