The cards invited me to cycle out to Treble Cone today. Thankfully they didn't suggest I go all the way up to the ski field. I have worked out (silly it took so long) that we are 6 months out of sinc here. It is actually the 6th of November. So when I realised that, I dressed accordingly in 3 long sleeved tops, a buffalo jacket and a buff under my helmet. The buffalo jacket was off by the time I got to the bottom of our short drive and the buff was off before I got out of Wanaka. It was very disorientating to listen to cicadas in the nearby grass and roaring stags in the distance. It was cool in the shade and lovely warmth in the sunshine.
The cards didn't require any housework to be done today, but allowed me to call into the libary on the way home and enjoy researching a few things.
I got home in time to receive a phone call from Stacey to say that she and Rob are in town (No Fuss winners and our hosts in Gore for the Moonshine race) and were going to call round for a drink at 5.30pm. Then John and Finn came home and said that Johns Mum had invited me and Finn to join them for a run at 4.30pm. So it was a quick jaunt up to Wastebusters to get a terrific pair of snowboard boots for Finn for $10 and go to the shops to not get a snowboard (sad Finn). Then I had to talk my way round the run pretending I was a runner and likewise Finn, but we both really enjoyed it. Probably about 6km, but mostly like the furthest Finn has run without stopping.
Rob and Stacey had a quick drink and then off out for dinner and we will go over tonight and check out the house they have just bought to rent out as a holiday house.
I barely managed to get our dinner on the table, but it has to be said, dinner wasn't mentioned on the cards.
