Wandering back home

Last day in Paris was filled with packing, lunch with Sally and a very fast uber ride to our airport hotel…130k in a 50k area! Then a little issue of the driver adding an extra charge…which super sleuth Sue found and argued until refund was paid back! A trap for virgin travellers…always check the uber charge!

A very comfortable night in the Ibis airport hotel and I left my travel buddy to head on my journey home…she was leaving later in the day!

I arrived back in NZ (home) around midnight on Wednesday….and spent Thursday unpacking my life out of a suitcase and catching up with family!

Friday I launched into the list of jobs to do…WOF and Rego on my old cortina – and my first sick baby day, Saturday a Tyler Gran’ma day….cooking a roast for a family dinner! and polishing the Cortina for its first spring outing on Sunday!

A cruise to coffee and Cars in Snells Beach and a Father’s Day Breakfast…

A little Chilly as a cold westerly wind blew in, but the girls (mine and Dans cortina) were glowing….My co-pilot (Tyler – mr 4 year old) riding shotgun, with his shades!

Unfortunately, the spring flu got him too and I had both the Boys (Tyler and Henry) on Monday and again Tyler yesterday!

However the sun shone for a bit and with one kid, did manage to tame the lawns !

Again today on Gran’ma duties….this is a nasty cold that is hitting the troops around here…but will do an early morning run to stock up on gardening supplies …. In case we get a break in the weather…yes it’s raining and chilly!

So my return has been a whirlwind of life at home!! Babies, cars, gardens, washing and cooking (that’s a bit of a shock after not really cooking for three months)
