I always feel slightly ripped off at election time; voting happens over two weeks, not just on election day and there isn’t the associated voting place (school, church, community centre) fundraising. This year I think I’ve struck happy middle ground. Election Day is next Saturday but I voted today in close proximity to the closest I’m going to get to a Democracy Sausage.
It’s a long weekend and I have a list. Today was the day for some sorting, tidying and finally getting rid of some stuff so hardware store sausages were a well earned treat for lunch.
It’s been a big week for health checks and so far so good:
✅ blood tests all clear
✅ 5yr check for internal nasties all clear
❓dodgy hip X-ray results coming this week
Fingers crossed for a clean sweep.
A few weeks ago my work colleagues and I went out to lunch. It had been a long complicated week so a little extra treat was definitely called for. What we realised we ended up with was our personalities in a glass.
Not giving away any secrets but we three are definitely an interesting mix. L to R; fruity mocktail, affogato, hearty red
Another wonderful night with friends being totally blown away by the sheer creativity of WOW.
I do have a love of weird flavours and unusual combos but the last supermarket shop has yielded one of the best yet…
It absolutely should not work and yet it totally does.
I was in TaupÅ last weekend, catching up with cousins. We had a lovely relaxed time that ended up with us marvelling at some pretty impressive water. The Waikato river runs out of the lake and has fantastic walking paths, not that we went terribly far.
We visited Huka Falls again and this time also went to see the release from Aratiatia dam. Here is the channel before…
