We have a long weekend ahead. Monday is a holiday to mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth ll.
Sunday at 2 am we wind our clocks forward AGAIN for daylight saving. Such a pain in the butt. I wish they would stick with the daylight saving time for good, and stop dicking us around every 6 months by changing it. I can remember when Daylight saving only lasted about 4 months, not 6.
We are off on a day trip today.
Heading north to Auckland.
We want to have a stroll on a beach.
Then look in the mall (Sylvia Park), maybe pop into Ribbon Rose in Mt Wellington (fabric shop) and just have a chill out day.
So... there will be photos, LATER.
... it took exactly one hour to arrive at Sylvia Park from our home! Amazing.
First stop was Ribbon Rose:
We are now at Taco Bell, Sylvia Park having brunch.
Stew sat down and crushed his finger on his seat... the seat was broken!
ABOVE: LUCKILY he didn't break the skin.
Well... brunch was lovely... except for the finger incident.
We are now on the North Shore. I found a little Fabric and Yarn shop in Birkenhead ...
Now.. off to Devonport.
And where the hell is everyone today? I'm still BLOGGING WHILE OUT N ABOUT! Pfffft.
ABOVE: We have eaten here before. Its amazing
5.55 pm: And we are safely home again. There is a lot of traffic on the roads today, being a long weekend it was to be expected.
Tomorrow we had planned on going over to Tauranga, but have decided to stay home and get a couple of jobs done around the yard and house.
But for right now, it's relax time. It's been a really lovely day.
9.45 pm: Silly bugger dinner tonight. Bits of this 'n' that. Time to think about getting into bed, super early but I'm tired.
Ohhhh I might see you at Sylvia park lol enjoy your day we shopping Albany then
ReplyDeleteOnehunga lol
Jesus that's just wrong 😳 hopefully it doesn't get any worse poor Stew GM 💙💙 I did comment earlier but must have stuffed it up 🤣
ReplyDeleteOuch for Stew!! That is going to be sore for a bit. Boo!! Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having a lovely day in Auckland. I am still in Christchurch and seem to have managed to get a bloody cold so am feeling sorry for myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to drop paige to work... Sylvia Park at the pub... then hit the gym 🙄. Don't feel like it but i know i won't regret it
ReplyDeleteaH YES, I have been out and about today. Found out there is a beginners Tai Chi class nearby - so hubby and I went to that. It was easy to do, most of it in chairs as it is geared for the older folk. Didn't know that when we went. But hey - I could do it! So I might go back. Then Collie dog had a MASSIVE groom. It took 4 hours! He insisted on standing the entire time and would not sit down, so she had to give him a break half way through. No idea why he was such a mess this time. And then there was Happy Hour with the Girls! So, twas a fun and busy day. Well.... the collie might disagree about the "fun" part.
ReplyDeleteRibbon rose have definitely improved there yarn section. Looks like tou guys have had a lovely day in auckland.
