So the cat's out of the bag...and has journeyed half way round the world to be at her parent's 50th wedding anniversary last weekend. Indeed, Maria and Sarah travelled back a couple of weeks ago now, but it all had to be hush-hush so as not to spoil the surprise for those that were none the wiser!
So it's been a bit quiet around here for most of August. Quite tidy too!!! It's amazing how little shopping I have had to do - and the shelves are still quite well stocked. The washing machine only goes on twice a week - one dark wash and a light wash. What could be simpler?!
Not seen much of Chris - he's either been working or staying at friends.
Work at Fulton Hogan remains busy - I'm enjoying it - just need to start making some changes and seeing some real improvements.
I have been out for a couple of bike rides with some of the FH boys. Last week we ventured out to Purau Bay around the Lyttleton Harbour inlet. Around 85km of lumpy terrain. Was probably the hardest cycling I've ever done. Made the Ashbourne Duathlon route seem quite tame in comparison. This weekend we ventured onto the flats around Oxford - a mere 110km! 4 hours in the saddle is about as long as I've ever had to endure! There's talk of taking part in the Source to Sea event in November - a 160km ride down the Buller Gorge - should be fun!
Had a game of golf last weekend with Rob Sherman - a close encounter - all square after 18 holes - a great morning/afternoon in early spring weather - very nice indeed. We went out for a few (!!) beers last Friday in honour of his 50th birthday - Saturday was a bit of a blur!
Also had a trip down to Dunedin for a couple of days with Simply Lean last week. I'm becoming a right 'national turbo-prop setter'!
Still no new pictures to post - must be a sign that things are becoming 'normal'? Mind you, Maria has taken the camera to the UK with her. Maybe there will be some of her piccies to post.
Just heard that U2 are playing in Auckland in November - wahoo! Need to get ourselves sorted for that one.
