Meg is delighted that her lovely friend Kate,who she walked to school with every day when she arrived here, and who left to live in Dunedin in January, has come up to stay with her tonight. She's also a friend of The Crones, so they are all through there, snuggled up with the wee brothers, watching Angus Snogging and Purple Pants - or whatever it's called. Spook and I are knackered and ready for bed, so hoping Meg and Kate will just sneak in later and go to bed quietly. Finn has booked a bed over there.
Finn, Max, Spook and I had a few runs up in the Sticky Woods this afternoon, which was really good fun. We bumped into Ollie and his mate John. Ollie has beaten Spook in two races now and is doing the Mototapu next Saturday. I've decided to invite everyone we know who is doing the Mototapu for a pre Mototapu Mingle and Pasta Party next Friday. There are 2500 cyclists and 900 runners. Thankfully I only know about 11 of them and I daresay if they bring their children, that boosts the numbers a bit, but I think it will still be quite manageable. Wouldn't be good to poison them the night before the race though.
It's a windy but warm night and has a sound of October about it, but not the chill. If it's dry tomorrow, we will go and gather some more wood as the pile is getting chopped down to size.
Spook was telling me that he read in the paper that there was a robbery in an off licence in Queenstown last week. The culprit was caught on CCTV, but his face was obscured. Fortunately, a large amount of boxer shorts, with a very distinctive pattern WAS caught on camera and police are appealing to anyone who recognizes them - bet the robber has pulled his trousers up now!
