Restoration weekend

Lets imagine my iPhone didn’t slip out of it’s case on the weekend. And that it didn’t shatter and die and that I posted lots of lovely photos here. Instead I have nothing except another job for the week in sorting out insurance and a replacement. A bit of a fag too because Tom’s been away all weekend so I can’t text him greetings and updates.

Here’s some highlights of what Helen and I got up to – it really was a great, restful weekend where I somehow did chores like grocery shopping and washing but felt really rested too. Hooray! UPDATE: here’s some photos on Helen’s blog…

• A glass of wine at Cuckoo while we waited for our takeaway pizza
• Pizza at home by the fire, with pear cider
• Lashings of present opening – it went on forever as we both unwrapped a pile of many lovely presents
• Off to Carterton to a very sad school garage sale
• Op-shopping at Carterton and then Featherston
• Pasteries and coffee at The French Baker
• Spending Helen’s voucher at Craft Country (her) but it’s fun watching other people shop
