Post #350 - never thought would keep this going for so long :)

It's been a pretty busy week and a bit for me, good busy though :)

Last wknd bro came to visit on the Saturday, just for the day. We went and saw They Shall Not Grow Old, a war doco movie which was actually not to bad, better than I was expecting. We then went to the Lions Annual Book Sale, which was also better than I was expecting. So many books and at good prices and in good conditions. Will def be going back next year, and most likely donating books to them as well. Can't member what else we did other than eat but it was good to hang out.

Sunday did some stuff round the house then went and saw A Star Is Born with Samara, David and Carolyn (Samara's mum). Think I'm about the only person I know who thought it was predictable and not super amazing, still worth seeing but would prob recommend waiting till dvd or streaming it lol.

Work Monday and Tuesday was standard life stuff, minus the heading over to Ohakune after work on Tuesday. Stayed at Laura and Ted's and on Wednesday early morning Laura, Shura, Laura's parents and I all headed up to Auckland so Laura could have a look at wedding dresses. She had one in mind and was going up to try it and few others on. It was a very long but happily successful day :)

Came back home on Thursday, and much to my relief Glenny hadn't pranked our place like he had claimed he was going to. Dad also arrived here later on on Thursday as he is visiting for a few days.

Had Friday off, cos what is the point of working one day when you have a visitor and leave to be used... hehe. Dad and I attacked a couple trees and he also put a window in my garden shed, and it now is way less murder shed like lol. We went out to dinner with my friend Steph, we went to Bareknuckle BBQ which was real yum. Steph and I then dropped dad off and headed to Aubyn Theatre to see a show, it's just down the road from me so we had to go check it out. Was real good and we already know we wanna go again next show, whatever it ends up being :)

Saturday took dad, Missie and Smyly up Te Mata Peak, then we went out for lunch. Arvo was back to work cleaning up the mess we made the day before, got most it cleaned up but had to finish off some this morning. This morning we went to the dump twice, well we went once and drove thru twice as we had general waste and green waste and its done by weight. The guys there were very helpful though and helped us empty out the car which was appreciated. I then took dad up two more hills, mountains if we wanna sound more impressive though hehe. On the way up Sugar Loaf we ran into Carolyn who was heading down with Kaysha, we had a quick lil chat then headed our own ways. After Sugar Loaf we headed up Bluff Hill, then made our way back home. Can't see heaps happening for the rest of the day cos this old girls feeling very buggered, dad's pottering though so who knows.
