A DO NOTHING MUCH DAY

 


Plan for today?

Get a load of washing on.

Go down to the Dr's and get an appointment for Stew and I.  We both have a few issues to get addressed.

Finish putting away what I unpacked last night.

ABOVE:  My outfit from yesterday.  One of the Tee Shirt Dresses and matching lightweight denim jacket.  And ummm... Nike Jordans on me feet.  

My legs were, and still are, very swollen, so I will be keeping my feet up as much as possible today.


ABOVE:  I now have two gorgeous little lighthouses to add to my 'house' collection.  They were my sisters, and given to me by her daughters.

Funny how I seem to have a 'new' collection.


ABOVE:  I was given a piece of this chocolate from Aliesha the other day.  OMG, so nice.  So when I went through Duty Free yesterday, I grabbed a couple of them... and some rum for Stew.  He's not going to run out in a hurry now.

Sadly, none of the Duty Free shops sold my perfume, so I didn't get any of that.  It was the one thing I really wanted too.

I've never done any Duty Free shopping before, so that was a first for me.

And that's me for now, I'm going to stay in bed for a bit longer ...

Catch ya later.


Well, the day is going well so far.
The washing is on, unpacking finalised. 
Doctor appointments made.
And now I'm at the Hamilton Gardens, about to meet up with my Cambridge walking buddies for morning tea.

After that I'm doing a grocery shop, as the kids are coming for dinner.

ABOVE:  Awaiting me walking mates.   We had a lovely morning tea, then I left for the supermarket.
Groceries grabbed, on to home.

ABOVE: Tonight is the first time using our cute wee dining table with it's extension out.  It did take me a little while to nut out how to get it to flip up!
But, mission accomplished.
Dinner is on the go.  Beef Steaks, Chicken Rissoles and lettuce salad, potato wedges and accompanying sides.

ABOVE:  Yeah, I know I've already shown ya the dinner... but this photo has it all. lol
It went down very well with the kids.  And we managed just fine in the smaller space with 8 of us having dinner.

I can't wait until we can have bigger gatherings outside over summer.

It is now 8 pm, everyone has gone home and it's back to just Stew, Coco and I.
Catch ya tomorrow.

    Not sure about NZ, but duty free is way not worth it in Australia. Perfumes especially can be bought much less than half price in Chemist Warehouse. Eg. Issey Miyake 100ml $70, same bottle at duty free $145. Marie, Melbourne
