Right the weekend … action packed is the work.,\u00c2\u00a0 I had a thoughly good time.<\/p>\n
Okay Friday, shot home after work and mowed the lawn and packed.\u00c2\u00a0 I picked nick up at the airport at 8 and took him to the freehouse until about Midnight.\u00c2\u00a0 Nick is a great beer enthusiast, a “real ale spotter”\u00c2\u00a0 but it does make a couple of half pints VERY interesting.\u00c2\u00a0 We hooted with laughter and solved the worlds problems.\u00c2\u00a0 Nick just received $48 K to put together a play about science .. electo- dynamic blah blah\u00c2\u00a0 some such … its an absolute HOOT.\u00c2\u00a0 Very social and enjoyable.\u00c2\u00a0 I kept me consumption to tastes as i was driving home.\u00c2\u00a0 I think you wold like him, he is introverted enough for you …<\/p>\n
Okay Nick and partner were dropped off I headed home and witnessed a boy racer spin out going around a round about go off the road hit a bank then slide across the median and oncoming traffic.\u00c2\u00a0 As I got to his car to check him .. he\u00c2\u00a0 spun off and took off … … probably pissed ..anyway called the cops and they caught him later on … Not looking good for Stanley and his bright red Nissan hot rod.<\/p>\n
Leigh had us up at 6 am, dressed coffeed and on the road to Hanmer Spring.\u00c2\u00a0 A little town built around a hot pool complex.\u00c2\u00a0 I slept for a couple of hours and then drove the last hour.\u00c2\u00a0 Arriving well rested.\u00c2\u00a0 We met Jocelyn and Rex Johnstone.\u00c2\u00a0 Leigh and Joce worked together at the Christchurch Star years ago … and are fast friends.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway we had no formal plans but we were open to new stuff so we played a round of “chip and putt golf” and since none of us are very good it was pretty even and lot of laughter and “assistance’ offered.\u00c2\u00a0 Even Leigh who never held a club played!\u00c2\u00a0 Then we lunched …. napped and the girls and I went for a very long walk through the forest arriving in time for a glass of wine by the fire and leasurly dinner plans.\u00c2\u00a0 I did have lamb on a sweet potato mash and salad … HHHHHOOooooo good.<\/p>\n
