Back online - Yay!
Dec. 9th, 2006 09:27 pmHello lovely peoples.
It is very hard to blog when you're all with the Internet Cafe access. :o( But now I am at my parents house in Hawkes Bay and can (and already have!) spend hours online. Hurrah.
Much has been written about M+S's wedding, so I'll just say that the whole thing was lovely, and the bridesmaids' dresses were much better than had been suggested. Not so much with the tiger stripe! It was great to have a chance to at least see, if not really catch up with a lot of people I hadn't seen in years.
After the wedding I had a lovely week of catching up with more people, including a friend from Bath who is also over here at the moment (oh, the randomness!).
This week I took a trip up to the Coromandel with my Mum. It was beautiful up there, and the weather was mostly fabulous. Managed to get sunburned again! Although not so badly, and in different places. Including one small but painful patch on the back of my arm where I missed with the sunblock. And my knuckles. Sunburned knuckles, for crying out loud. Bah.
But the food was oooooohhh so good. Mmmmmmm yummy food. ALthough one restaurant we went to had a function room next door where karaoke was happening. Loudly. When the kitchen staff turned their stereo up loud enough that we could hear it too, and the two musics combined we decided to have dessert elsewhere before my ears exploded in self defense. Good call too. Sticky toffee souffle with butterscotch and bourbon sauce......
Anyway, Coromandel: Stunning beaches, excellent and innovative food, and dangerously seductive jewellery shops. It's all good. I will see if I can sort out putting pics on the internet with linkage. How hard can it be?
ETA: And here they are.
The plan is to head back to Wgtn on Tuesday, and spend about a week down there before coming back up here for Christmas and then going back to my cold dark wet home. Oh well, at least there is a wine and cheese party about a week after I get back, so that will give me something to live for :o)
