Weekend away

A bit tardy in updating our weekend away, i apologise. have some photos to start with whilst i think of something vaguely interesting to ramble on about..

We had such a fantastic time away and were blessed wwith some beautiful weather. Adrian and the boys caught some Kahawai off the beach on the sunday morning and were very pleased with themselves. Sheryl has allowed me to post a link to her blog where she has a video of Heidi and Haylee singing Twinkle twinkle....check it out :) http://www.nzkuypers.blogspot.com

Other than that, back to normality and enjoying some more lovely weather. We went to the Grey Lynn festival on Saturday with David, Atsuko and Mia and all the kids, who were very well behaved while we sat in the sun, drank alcohol at silly times of the day and all got rather sunburnt. And then of course went home for the obligatory barbeque.

My current project is Trying New Things Before i Turn 27 (the saturday after next). So far, i have.....

• tried New Zealand marmite on toast (verdict - tastes too sweet and a bit beany....i can now say with conviction and from a reasoned viewpoint that i infinitely prefer English marmite)
• tried sushi....albeit teriyaki chicken sushi which i am not altogether sure is proper sushi, but i had to start sommwhere. Tomorrow i may be brave and try actual fishy stuff ( or maybe just prawns...one step at a time!)
• started reading a book i have been meaning to read for ages

And for now, that's it. Tomorroww i am going to try and run round Panmure basin twice, which i have never managed before, but i am suure i can do if i put my mind to it. All suggestions as to new things i can try will be gratefully recieved and i will endeavour to try them as i am feeling exceptionally brave and pro-active at present.

As for plans for my birthday, i am going for a lovely dinner with my lovely girlfriends, and then on the ferry into the city for a bit of mad dancing...that's the night before my birthday. And on the saturday of my actual birthday, Adrian's band and David's band are playing a gig in Ponsonby together, so i am pretending it is a gig in my honour and going to that. Very much looking forward to it all indeed. And not a bit bothered that i am only 3 years off turning 30.

Gulp.
