We have had lovely sunny weather this week, with good frosts to start the day. It's a good one on Monday morning. It's was -2 under the awning at 8 o'clock, so I expect it was more out in the garden. I was glad to be indoors at a balmy 19.
We have been social butterflies this weekend.
Old friends had a 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday night, so they had a pot luck dinner with them and their family, which was fun.
On Sunday night we went to dinner with Eddie's work mates. We usually get together on the 4th July to remember their work mate, Jason, who died 4 years ago. It was good to catch up with them all after being away for a while.
On Monday, my sister in law, Carole, came to visit me. She lives in Christchurch and her daughter and family live in Dunedin, so we don't see each other very often. Her daughter and her husband have an archeology business and came to Taupo for a conference. Carole came up to take care of her granddaughter, Hermione. As Matamata is only 1 ½ hours from Taupo, Carole decided to spend a day with me. It was a lovely surprise when she rang and said she would like to come up.
Hermione is 18 months old and very cute. (of course). She was quite shy and only smiled at me from a distance. We had lunch and took Hermione for a walk in her buggy. She likes buggy rides. Carole said she took her for 1 ½ hours the other day, and she was quite happy. The other 2 girls stayed with their other grandparents in Dunedin. Because they live so far away and we haven't made it to the south Island yet, I have yet to met Mavis and Violet.
Stupidly, we never took any pictures.
