Where did the weekend go?

In a blur of activity, it’s now Sunday evening and the shortest day of 2020, dark at 5.00pm!

Saturday morning Sandy and I went to the farmers market at Silverdale, and found the health shop, $8.00 pair of jeans (charity shop of course!) and a new blanket for the canine grand baby!

I guess he owned it! The afternoon saw us off to watch the two youngest offspring play a game of football….family day out to the other side of town!

The sun stayed out, the legs got sore, and I’m sure Russ was pleased he didn’t have to run the sideline (his least favourite sport – but he always supported the boys in their endeavours). A leg injury and a slight loss, two tired (and smelly) lads, followed by an hours drive home…..in time to turn around and head back to Dad and Sandys for a family dinner and a TV night of live rugby!

Dan fell asleep on Floyd’s new blanket and Floyd fell asleep on Sandy….snoring loudly through the second half, which saw our team come out with another win!

This morning George and I took off to our storage in search of some winter clothes. Russ and I packed these up two years ago, not expecting to spend a winter in the Southern Hemisphere! But here I am and It was time! With the punto loaded to the roof we stopped for a coffee at Orewa…

Some brave wetsuited surfers looking for a wave! We came back and spent the (wet) afternoon unpacking, followed by washing three loads! We now have a living room like a laundry with clothes drying racks surrounding us!

Social media and Facebook memories have been throwing up Malta, Hawaii, overseas adventures, family and friends! Russ is always with me and reminding me of our fun times!
