There was no way Mike could get Insurance for his car... so I am now the LEGAL OWNER of the car, and he's the 'Designated Driver'.... how cool! I own a Subaru WRX.... it's so pretty!
ABOVE: the car alarm bloke fitting my car with it's Alarm System... so no bugger can nick me car! Nice one. LOL
We are off to Whitianga for a relaxing few days shortly... just have to pack the car, feed the kids and go. Hopefully the traffic isn't too heavy... but as it's a long weekend it probably will be.
I will pop back in to update at the end of the day from the Internet Cafe' in Whitianga.
LATER...
Well... the trip up was great... no major traffic jams like I was expecting. Sweet.
Once here we unpacked then went into 'town' for some lunch, picked up our Grandson Joshua who we have for the entire weekend.. and now I'm down at the Internet Cafe and Stew and the kids are at home. BLISS.
I'm gunna buy some Bacardi and have a quiet drinkie tonight too.
Here's some photos from today:
ABOVE: 40 minutes from Whitianga, we stopped for Teddy to have 'tinkles' and for the kids to stretch their legs.... this is Tairua Harbour... such a pretty place.
And I am proud to introduce our Grandson Joshua, who lives in Whitianga with his Mum, Step-Dad Shane and his 3 little brothers:
He is a delightful little boy, who just turned 8! We love him to bits. (photos published with the permission of his Mum and Step-Dad) As you can all see, another stunning family member! LOL.. I'm NOT biased you understand! *smiles*
Granddad had to go down and buy a small screwdriver set so he could get these cars out of their packaging! Josh loved them, and the big book from Grandma and Granddad for his birthday.
End of Day: after this I am popping into the supermarket, there's a local blogger who is working there tonight and I'm gunna go surprise her! heee heee. nite nite.
I wonder if we'll recognise each other.
ReplyDeleteI'll be working at New World 4-8 pm today & tomorrow packing at check-out. I'm not too hard to miss because I'm the oldest and wrinkliest one there .... probably the fattest by a long chalk too. If you do come in say Hi!
So far the weather is great so enjoy everything.
I love your Big-Hearted approach to life. No wonder the boys gave you a hard time driving around Auckland.... I think they think you are pretty wonderful.

You sneaky lady. It was so cool meeting you. Sorry I was kind of busy and not really looking at people as they came through check-out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in ... I wondered for a moment what on earth you were talking about when you said Diet Coke Rocks. Then you could have knocked me down with a feather I was so surprised and delighted to see you .... and Stew ... I guess he was the man with you!
It's really fun meeting someone in the flesh when you've been getting to know them through their writing & photos.
See you tomorrow.
