A long League-ee weekend

This entry is very slow off the mark. Last weekend was the first long weekend for a while. Labour weekend came with cloud and little sunshine and warmth in Wellington, whereas, elsewhere it as cooking. Or so it seems.

What did we do? The things one always does on a holiday weekend-gardening. Cutting the grass, weeding, cutting the hedges and planting up pots. what more could you ask for-just a little bit of sunburn.

Aside of that we did do something different. We went to see the Rugby League international between Engalnd and the Kiwis. The four nations is being played in Australasia curently, and features Australia and PNG as well. It was only the fourth game I have seen live, rather than on tv. So the perspective was quite different but all the same time, interesting to appreciate more of the action.  England lost, and even I could appreciate their limitations. It was not a great game as both teams made more errors than you would expect. More action on the tv this coming weekend, and probably more gardening.

The 10K Smile

Today the braces are off, then glue polished away, and the teeth made to sparkle. Eleanor is happy to be free of the grills or grids. An impression of her new set is to be made so she canhave her overnight plate made. This needs to be worn for a couple of years yet.

A new smile, worth every cent.

Spring has sprung

We went to Oriental Parade this morning for our Sunday run and cycle. I find it hard to remember seeing it so busy.

Today is one of those days when ‘you can’t beat it on a nice day” comes to mind. It is warm and dry with little wind. The harbour looks great, with people fishing from the rocks, boats out on the water and cyclists and runners everywhere.

Dad ran 8Km, EQ and Joe less. Isaac rode his bike for the 8Km as he felt he had done enough running during the week!

Sunny times-but how long will it last?

Ryder Cup

 I can see from afar that the golf is on, a high profile event, but the team may need some assistance.

The current competition is being played at Celtic Manor, the scene of my finest EGGS triumph. So, I am somewhat bemused that Montie has not been on Skype to tap into my course experience.

So if the European team fails to win it’s not my responsibility.
