Friday midnight mass

On friday we went for a walk round the Rotary walk again, we didnt do alot.

We met Maxine and Darren and a few friends in "the prospect of Howick" which is a pub on the main street of Howick.

We went to a Thai restaurant which was called Benjarong at about 8.00pm to have tea, it was busy so we booked a table, I didnt enjoy it that much everything was abit different to what I would normally eat.

I had beef, duck and pork, the waiter brought the rice round in a bowl she served it to you.

I had a nice ice cream at the end though.
I went to paper plus to get some birthday/christmas cards for mum and Vicki.

Thursday browns bay

Drove to Devonport, we got out of the car to have lunch there but our friends from Fiji text us saying they were in Browns Bay, so we got back in the car and drove another 20 minutes up the coast to meet up with them, they are very distant relatives that dad has met through an Ancestry website.

We met them in speakers corner for lunch, me and dad and Hoki fish bites and chips, was lovely in the Bay the sun was out but not a lot it was sometimes sunny sometimes not it was warm though.
After lunch we went onto the beach, mum managed to get the scooter on the sand because it was quite flat and the tide had gone out so that was good.
But she couldn't go all the way on the sand so she went on the path near the main road and met me and dad at the other side of the beach, it's wasn't too far on we were sort of in the middle.

Donna, mums friend has got a friend that makes walking sticks so mum had ordered one and we went back to O'Hagans to collect it, Donna wasn't there but we met the lady who's company makes them.
It is a lovely purple one.

Then came home for a curry.
After tea we watched Mrs Browns Boys, then after that we stayed up late to watch a DVD, we watched The Departed eventually went to bed at 1am.

What sort of tree is this Nigel?

In His Response - It's a Banyan Tree, also known as a Moreton Bay Fig. It's a "strangler fig" that grows around another tree. Thanks Nige xxx

Tuesday rain and thundering

We got up at 11.30am we didn't go out because it was really cloudy we put some washing out to dry and by 12.00pm we had to bring it back in because it started raining really heavily.

It was thundering and lightening it wasn't nice Jodie's kittens didn't like it they came to sit with me.

After it had stopped raining we went to Maxine's to put the washing in the dryer as Jodie doesn't have one, we took maxine some baking trays because she was making Christmas cakes.

Monday Half moon bay walk

Went for a walk to Half moon bay, on the way there we went to the rotary park walkway, it was a nice walk, of course for me and dad, mum was on the scooter.
It was very cloudy it wasn't raining though.
We saw the Waikeke Boat coming in, you can get on this with your cars, you get on at Half Moon Bay ferry port and you go across to Waikeke Island it takes about 20 minutes to get there, I have not been on it yet but mum and dad went on it last year.
