Stew is going to do his 'usual' Saturday morning shopping at Pak N Save. I will go with him to do the driving, and help with getting the groceries in and out of the car.
Then we are going out for lunch. Stew has suggested we go to Lake Karapiro, because it is lovely out there, and we can go for a little walk along the lake edge.
When we get home, I shall get into C.Qs and do some work.
And Stew can relax and get over our outing 😂😅.
I'm happy to report his 'teeny tiny hole' seems to have closed over, and there's no sign of added redness. That is awesome, one less thing to worry about.
The knee's HOTNESS is perfectly normal apparently, and can continue for months yet. All good to know.
And that's about all I have for now... catch ya later.
ONWARD...
12.31 pm. Grocery shopping done and all is away.
We are now awaiting our lunch, at Foundation. I decided it was dumb going out to Karapiro. The traffic is bloody crazy. We went to Spotlight to check out something I've got me eye on, and it was PACKED. You would think the shops had been closed for a week, the amount of people shopping today.
Travelling up Te Rapa Straight? Crawl. Stop. Crawl. Stop. Took us 10 minutes to cover 1 km.
The Base is packed out as well. I'll be relieved when we get back home.
It LOOKS amazing eh?
IT WASN'T.
The salad component was nice.
The corn fritter? Almost cold, and tasteless. To add insult to injury, it FELL APART the second the fork hit it, so was a damn pain in the arse to even get on the fork. And the poached egg? Also cold.
I left 75% of it on the plate and had some hot chips for my lunch.
SO DISAPPOINTED. Utter waste of money.
We are now home, and I am going to have a break before doing some work.
I will probably now go and get another one ready for stitching tomorrow.
7.25 pm. I'm done for the day. I have another bag to show you tomorrow, I got carried away and actually finished it.
Catch ya tomorrow.
I was worried about the knee issues, thank you for explaining.

I am glad he can rotate the bike now - keep going!
ReplyDeleteHAHA. I saw that salad photo and I was thinking... WTH? OMG. If you want to eat Guinea Pig food - do it at home!
ReplyDeleteMy rule for dining out is to order something that I can't, won't or usually don't.. make at home. Things like Lasagna, Chile Relleno's, Ethnic foods, or fast food. A bowl of leaves does not fit in that category.
