We had a pleasant Easter - - D wanted to stay home on Good Friday and have a quiet day which I found a very boring prospect, so invited friend M over to go to the Good Friday ceremony at our local church which has a big Polynesian population - lovely singing, tho very long and hot. She came back for a game of Scrabble and some games of Uno before sharing some Lenten fare.
Went up to Orewa on Saturday , did a bit of shopping for food seeing the supermarket was going to be closed then helped D clip the hedge with the electric hedgeclipper. He did not appreciate my hovering round anxiously giving instructions. That was his penance! I did have a wonderful swim beforehand. Elisabeth came up on the bus after all the hard work was done and we had a night and a day together which was very pleasant, being a family again, albeit for a short time. Had 3 more swims on Sunday and a nice Easter dinner of smoked chicken and salad with lots of Easter eggs - I have had 4 pinkie Easter eggs since Saturday. None of the cream or solid chocolate ones. I will be able to resist those.

The pictures are from Dieter's sister's Easter in Germany. Her son Christian bought the Easter eggs . The Germans like to bring Spring foliage or blossom such as pussy willow or forsythia inside and hang Easter ornaments on them.
