A rather quite weekend

Well, our hammies and glutes hurt today.  A result of an all affair with creating garden boxes.  They are taking shape now, and its top soil ordering this weekend and beginning to think what will be in our edible garden.

During the week we caught up with Helen and Andrew at the quiz, I played bridge, Harry did a night class, I went back to Pilates.

On Saturday night (complete with aches and pains) we wandered to the Cuba Street food markets and then on to the Symphony Orchestra (courtesy of David and Marion who are currently in Warsaw).  Great show - the colours of the orchestra pairing up with the brashness of the Roger Fox brass band.  We walked back along the waterfront - it was one of those clear, calm Wellington spring evenings.





Sunday, we decided a walk was just the thing for sore legs.  We drove to Raumati South and walked to Paraparaumu Beach.  A gentle stroll along the beach!! Yeah right.   Reasonably high tide meant that at times we were negotiating round little headlands and going up and down side streets trying to find the next dry spot to get back onto the sand.  It is years since we had been up that way and I was reminded of the erosion, as many of the sea walls were falling down around the waves.

We had brunch at Raumati Beach (when it rained - great timing) and got rather wet feet on the way back - playing soccer with plant balls and not quite making it before the waves did.

All fun.
