Fathers Day

LP

The day dawned  sunny and warm so Dieter and I decided to make the most of it.  Though we don't seem to get out of Auckland often these days, there Is nothing to stop us hopping on a bus and going 

 s

to another suburb for a change, as long it doesn't involve too much walking for Dieter.

We started off the day with a leisurely breakfast before driving up the road to the carpark and getting the bus down to St Patrick's Cathedral for 11am Mass.  I enjoy the singing and music and join in lustily.

Trotted downtown, picking up some sandwiches before getting a slow bus along the waterfront to St Heliers .  The bus was full and traffic was heavy.  Spent some time at the beach before inspecting the op shop and library and having coffee and cake at a beachside cafe.

It was a beautiful Spring day and 18 degrees and time we had a bit of warmth again. 

E came round in the late afternoon and I cooked a delicious meal of pork fillet roasted on a bed of onion and apple, seasoned with fresh thyme. Ran out of oomph by dessert and had the usual fruit salad and yoghurt as is my custom in such situations.
