Sunday, really a day of rest.

“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.”

Good Morning World... Sun 3rd, 7.52, Taihape..high overcast and cool, but dry. Two days in Palmerston North after leaving Auckland... An fantastic rowdy evening with old friends with 9 at the dinner table. Gosh, where have the years gone... we all started life together in Christchurch many years ago and it was really just like yesterday, just with more wrinkles and grey hair all round!! Yesterday Mel arrived into Palmerston with the Poppet. Fabulous.  Photographs all round and then time to head off. It is amazing how much you can jam into a little Toyota. The drive back from Palmerston North to Taihape was another trip down memory lane through country that hasn't really changed at all... Paulii's old territory. Last night Mel and I enjoyed some bubbles, probably more than we should have, but you only live once.Today it would be nice to blow some cobwebs and go for a walk to see how Taihape has changed, but at a gentle speed. I loved being in Auckland with Bor, Ber and Blake but am so pleased to be away from there... a very unsettling place to be. Now we can just sit and chill, catch up and do not much more than play and enjoy. 4 days until the first Birthday....
