Boys Day Out.










It was looking a bit windy for Treble Cone this morning, but it was good they went ahead with the day off school, as it was far less windy way up there than down here. The boys had a great day. Finn thought the Kea was cool until it tried to pinch his sausage roll. Spook says there was a huge area of ski field and some great music pelting out of the cafe - Frank Sinatra, for one. He reckoned their boarding would have come on better with the longer runs here, but it is almost double the price for a season pass, than at Cardrona.
Meg went to Kahu Youth group tonight. She had to give it up for her work and today was their 1st Aid training, which had been Meg's suggestion, so she was really pleased to get to it. She is enjoying having more freedom and has accumulated enough funds not to feel the pinch!
Then we all went to Oakridge spa resort for a hot dip and pizza's. We are being extravagant as Spook has a little tick list needing ticked. I have booked a day next week so that we can go to the coast for a stroll by the Tasman Sea, just the two of us. Both children have had their day with Dad now, so it will be my turn.
I think I have only 2 more units to clean at Heritage Park - possibly for the rest of my life. Meanwhile, I have 4 days off, so will need to sort out change of address and bill stuff. Spook is back to work, so it is bad timing.
grateful for:
opportunity to get as much sun as possible so that I don't feel I missed summer.
not having to cook the tea.
