Brilliant First Birthday...

“That's right," said Eeyore. "Sing. Umty-tiddly, umty-too. Here we go gathering Nuts and May. Enjoy yourself."
"I am," said Pooh.”
Ahhh... Friday evening, 8th, 21,33. We are all in bed... how does a party for a one year old exhaust adults??? Possible something to do with helping her push the boat out around aperitivo time. What a fab day yesterday, it all went beautifully, really, even the jelly wrestling, although I was a little horrified at the state of the dress, but an overnight soak sorted that. If the Poppity could talk I am sure she would have said it was brilliant. It was a rather unusual situation as I was staying with my first husband and his partner but we had such an easy happy time, so a big thank you to them both for hosting the first Birthday. Today we have been driving back to Taihape, gosh we seem to spend some time doing distances. Called into Rotorua so Mel could catch up with a special friend that she has not seen for many years, and we lunched there with her. A lovely sunny drive thankfully. Stopped in Turangi for a leg stretcher, nappy change, and supper in the park. Home here by 20.30. Tomorrow we are visiting Mangapapa, Paulii's old farm, just to sit for a moment, then it is cases open to pack for the trip, direction South Island, Queenstown then Wanaka.
Enjoy....
