Time for another chapter from Levin. I guess the all consuming news here is the Pike River Miners trapped below ground now for nearly 4 days, still not being able to make contact or go in and find out what has happened. Terrible for families just waiting and not knowing.
Life however goes on for us, busy as usual with Avril counting down the days until she finishes work. Just been away for long weekend in van with Caravan Club but not far only 50 km to Paraparaumu half way to Wellington. It coincided with Hannah's ballet end of year concert in Wellington so we went down to watch. For a four year old who has only been doing ballet for a few weeks she did OK out on a stage with 20 or 30 other kids in front of a couple of hundred people. Lauren is in good health although getting larger by the day, 27 weeks now. Last scan confirmed they are both boys and doing well. She also will finish at end of school term, 4 weeks away-she hopes!
Had a very enjoyable few days with Wendy and Dennis (Alan Offer's sister and husband) last week showing them around our area. They will have got tied up with the drama of the miners down south this week. Sue and Alan both celebrated heir 80th birthdays recently, a real milestone for them, congratulations. Roger called in on way to Waikane but as Avril was sick in bed we didn't get up very early so missed him. Geof and LIz Kealey are visiting middle of Dec for few days and will be good to catch up with them. As usual we have a number of Xmas social functions coming up, Avril's work, the wine club, travel club, Altrusa, and caravan club which will keep us out of trouble. Planning to have Christmas day at home with family and then ??? It will involve the caravan I'm sure.
Comings and goings of Adrian and Avril
