We left Opotiki early as we thought it might have been busy coming through Whakatane, but we got through nice and easily. We arrived at Matamata at lunchtime and set up after we had eaten. It almost feels as if we have never been away.
On Friday we went and bought 2 presents for secret Santa at our family do at Eddie's sister's house in Taupo. We bought a soft toy kakariki that gives the call when it's tummy is pushed and a 365 day calender with a joke for each day.
We haven't seen family there for a while, so we are looking forward to catching up with everyone. Eddie's great nephew's partner is expecting a baby in March, so a new twig for the tree.
It was supposed to be showery on Saturday, but it was sunny all day in the end. I did the washing down at the laundry at the end of the road. I had to load a card with the money on it, to use the machines. I was hoping it was an eftpos run one, but no, so now I have another card in my wallet. I have one from the Opotiki laundry too. Because it was supposed to be showery I used the dryer too. It didn’t quite dry, so I finished it off on the line at home.
While I waited for the washing, I went for a walk. I put it into the dryer and went off again. I ended up doing 5 ks, so I was pleased about that. It’s the longest walk I have done for a while. It made and interesting map on my Strava app.
