It's been a really busy few weeks and my blog writing has suffered. Sharon and Aaron have moved in, and so we helped clean and move stuff over here. Thank heavens for new knees - they survived pretty well. We finished most of the redecorating in the bathroom and ensuite and now both rooms are the same pretty shade of green - we liked it so much. We've now got some decluttering to do in the garage - Trade Me here we come!! We've enjoyed spending time with friends over coffee, brunch and pot luck dinners and now it is 'getting' ready for wedding. The 'things to do' list is very long, but we are doing a few things every week and so it is getting better. Things are falling into place which is great news. We've been to the movies a few times, and went to Hairspray with Sharon and Aaron which was quite a lot of fun. In the weekend we went to see Hope Springs (wouldn't really recommend it to anyone), had dinner at my favourite little Italian restaurant (I took Harry to Istanbul the previous week and it was great - we reminisced about our time in Turkey and wished we were there), and then went and listened to the Beat Girls for a while. Saturday we went to the Settlers festival at Petone - had a nice walk along the beach looking for shells (of which there were few) and then sat with chips and coffee on the sea wall watching the bonfires being lit and the fireworks display. Wouldn't you know it we forgot our camera!! but here's a photo from the web with Wellington in the background. Sunday was a slow start and then a walk around Paekak rocks looking for more shells (decided having shells as table settings are a bad idea), but even so we enjoyed the walk and our picnic (sausages and bread) - took us back to our time in the UK.
