Yet another great weekend (although it's not even finished yet!).
Friday was great because we decided it was Ella's birtday celebration which needed something to remember despite her being in Oz. We went out to the local Indian restaurant (Botany South Punjabi Dhaba). We had a great time, See we ate everything and drank all the wine. 
Anyway Saturday was walk in the Park day with friend Anne. When we got back we were able to con Anne into helping us treturn the BIG plant to it's right place next to the new room. This is the giant Aloe that Nic bought me on her last trip, remember? Rooted now in it's old place after the move needed to allow the building. 
Then in the evening we decided on a barbie for the pair of us on the Patio lovely evening with moon etc
Then it was video night, followed by Penny's Team Canterbury Crusaders heavily beating the Wellington Hurricanes in the Super 14 semi. (Watched it on the box of course.)

(Watched it on the box of course.)Sunday I went along to Orienteering with Anne. Lovely morning with excellent views all around Just as well Pen didn't go as it would have seen off her knee what with precipitous slopes and knee-high blackberry. It was out in open farmland adjacent to the West coast of Waiuku South of the Manukau Harbour. You wouldn't think there would be any problem finding little flags in open farmland. Except that the countryside is ancient sand dunes grassed over, it was like running up and down pyramids for an hour. If it wasn't for Tracker Anne I would have still been there. I still can't believe this orienteering thing. I thought I could read maps........not so.
Ohh ahh...something for me to write ! So far blogging has been R's thing & he does it so well. Just to add that while he was running up & down dunes/farmland looking for markers(?!) I was at Church exercising the non-physical body. Our lovely friend Penny from Church(I'm known as OP...Other Penny) had her 49th b'day yesterday which a bunch of girls/ladies celebrated by eating lots of cake & other goodies all afternooon. We need to have those afternoons more often...gives us a chance to use up all our words. Paulalala, it's YOUR b'day next so R&I will go out again. Bet you can't guess which place & no, it's not the Punjabi Dhaba!
May & June are certainly great months for b'days!
