...summer just seems to be flying by!
It's really noticeable how much darker it is in the morning now - especially if you're a sad-arse like me who gets up around 5!
As always at this time of year, the weekends are really busy. We were actually home last weekend, which makes a change, but still didn't seem to have any spare time. The Petone Fair was on Saturday (300+ stalls). They close off the main street, which is just around the corner from us. We went nice and early, before it too manic - and then got the hell out of Petone for the rest of the day! Nothing interesting, just got all the shopping done, picked more building supplies and then had a slow leisurely lunch at the pub in Eastbourne.
Stopped to get fish at Lowry Bay on the way back - one of the fishing boats sells straight off the boat there on Saturdays. It's great value for whole fish (like butterfish at $12 a kilo) and they only charge $3 a fish if you want it filleted. It's worth the money just to watch them do it! They just chat away, hardly even looking at what they're doing with those incredibly sharp knives.
Sunday we had (almost) all the kids round for BBQ brunch to celebrate Craig's birthday. Not as big a crowd as usual - none of Craig's kids' partners came, and neither did Jake. He was too busy warming up for the big afternoon at the stadium (the Phoenix in the A-league playoffs).
I'm already feeling a lot fitter after my first two weeks with Hamish - and more than a couple of kilos have disappeared as well.
