Another week gone by. Great to catch up with Geoff and Liz even though they unfortunately had to cut their visit short to return home for funeral on Monday. Spent Saturday in Wellington with them, mainly to visit Te Papa, our National Museum including a display of Brian Blake's work. Check link below to check it out http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/WhatsOn/exhibitions/BrianBrake/Pages/default.aspx?redirectedurl=true

Sunday after they left we headed out for a garden party with the wine club, very relaxing.
Hannah booked in for op to take out tonsils and adenoids Monday morning. As Avril was not working yesterday we went to Wellington for day to see how she was. Hard for a 4 year old to have to endure but should be worth it as she constantly had nasal infections and antibiotics. Getting a bit grizzly by the time we left about 5 but due for some more pain killers so hope she had a settled night.
Guy coming today to fix ceiling in spare bedroom. When I gave ceiling a closer inspection during preparation for redecorating found hairline cracks all over plaster. Not happy to just cover with paint as they just come thrrough again so got expert to have a look. He is going to gouge out cracks, fill, put tape over then re plaster whole ceiling-that should fix it!!!
Booked caravan sites at Paekakariki, just north of Wellington for 5 days to New Year, then off over to Masterton in the Wairarapapa (Map of lower North Island) after that with friends who also have van. Hope to take Hannah with us for  some of the time.
