Ok so I know the wknd was a couple days ago now and I did fully mean to get this post up sooner but in my defence I was procrastinating doing the final edit on my assignment that is due tomorrow so turning on my computer for something other than Netflix was not really on my to-do list. Assignment is all done and handed in now though so its all good :)
Anyhow, back to the wknd :) it was a pretty good one if I may say so. Went for a tramp with Doffy on Saturday morning. We went up above Humphries Castle cos you can get some cool pics from up there, and the mountain obliged us by not being all dumb and cloudy - thanks mountain :) Was a bit windy though which was a lil irritating but mostly cos I was worried my hat would fly off and I like that hat so it ended up being carried till we got back to being sheltered by trees.
Saturday afternoon was assignment and pottering and then in the evening I went and puppy-sat for a friend in town :) really was rather fun, way way better than babysitting. Does help that Jemma is gorgeous and super loving, when she isn't moping cos her dad has gone out and left her that is. (Jemma is a 2yr old Rottweiler by the way). Oh and Skylah was there but she is more rodent than dog so didn't really count, she just needed hugs when she got too whiny. Much more fun to play tug-of-war with Jemma to cheer her up, I would like to think I won some of the rounds but I'm not sure she would agree...
Sunday morning I went for a bike ride along the Coastal Walkway with another friend. Turns out there are way more hills on the Coastal Walkway than you realise when you are walking, and some are quite steep, well atlst to someone who is not bike-riding fit they are. I was very proud of myself though cos we went from Ngamotu Beach to the Velodrome and back and I didn't have to stop and walk at all, and also yesterday I wasn't sore or stiff so that is totally a bonus :) Was 20 odd kms for those that don't know the Coastal Walkway.
Sunday afternoon I procrastinated assignment, like I am very very good at. Did do something useful with my time though, watched the final race of the Supercars - the series decider it turned out cos Saturdays race left two dudes still in the running to be the 2017 champ (ps I did also watch this one while playing tug-of-war on Saturday). As per normal, when a Holden and Ford collide, it became rather contentious. Though reading others comments on social media just makes me realise how sane and balanced I actually am :) shhhh all you people who disagree, its almost Christmas aka a time to be nice and let others live in their dream worlds :p hehe
