Just got back from my last drive out of the tunnel in my Rav and thought I’d best post something on my last day in NZ for a wee while!

Had to go to Eastgate to get a few minor things and then when I came back I took a run round Lyttelton… I found myself getting a bit sad so turned to Stevie Wonder and he got me bopping with his classic “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” masterpiece that never fails to lift my mood haha.  Old skool aye!? Hey it works for me so I use him quite often to lift my spirits

Had my last wee snuggle with Bails this morning and then got up and started working through my list of things to do and YAY it’s 2.41pm and I have completed them all!  I now have 3 packed bags sitting in my kitchen waiting for the big adventure haha.  Oh minus my laptop until I’ve finished this post

Went and had lunch with my dad at his work yesterday which was nice! Even though he did think it was meant to be today hahaha that’s what old age does to ya I spose!  While I was out I got a couple of books for the flight – the latest one by Patricia Cornwell (which I can’t remember the name of and can’t be arsed getting up to rummage through my bag to find out!) as well as a book of ‘gripes and groans’ penned by Joe Bennett who lives in Lyttelton and should be good for a laugh on the way! Also got a puzzle book so all that, combined with my deck of cards, entertainment on the plane & people-watching, should keep me occupied along my journey!

Our neighbours Vicky and Dianne just dropped by before for a cuppa and to say goodbye which was nice. Vicky’s so excited that it made me all excited too haha plus her and Steve got me this gorgeous matching jade bracelet and ring which I absolutely love! and it matches with my necklace from Dan so I’m all ‘Kiwi’d out’ haha.

Hmmmmm…. what else to say?… well Mum’s just come in wanting info on what to feed our Doves so I’ll leave it there methinks!  (The doves are yet to be named but I’m rooting for George and Mildred hahaha )
