Pleased to have my other half back home again. He arrived home on Thursday and by Sunday we have slotted into the old routines again. Went to Waiheke for the weekend and had a relaxing time - a long walk Saturday and Sunday and a spot of gardening today - a couple of hours restores it to a parklike atmosphere, except for the overgrown trees which do rather overshadow part of the garden. This is Heritage week and there was a lovely display of old wedding dresses from the 1940s to 2000 in the Waiheke library. I still have mine of 30 years.
Had a full week with the YMCA on Monday and Tuesday then a catchup with 2 friends for lunch afterwards at Dida's and the Bakeshop, both favourite Ponsonby places.
Last weekend was E's 25th birthday so met up with her at the Ponsonby School Fair where I succumbed to a bag of books for $5, a bunch of tulips, some embroidered linen and some very nutty musli bars. Carried on the celebrations at the local gelateria then we went our separate ways - I went to Orewa to spend the afternoon and evening and came back to go to the investiture of a Pat Lythe as Dame of the Order of St Gregory for services to the Auckland Diocese. Some of her CathSoc friends were there and a few of us carried on the celebration at an Italian restaurant in the evening.
Looked at interesting art exhibitions at the Aotea Centre and one at at Art Station - Small Worlds and went to a piano lunchtime concert in the library Thursday - a Bach partita and Beethoven Eroica variations .
