Good Morning to Saturday...16th, 5.50, 5dg, forecasting light wind, clearing sky and the sun will be out for photos. Today is a very exciting day for one beautiful young lady and her man.. It is her Wedding day. For me the last couple of days have been busy busy from start to finish. I had a brilliant Commodore to bring to ChCh... my son would have been envious, big and powerful with an impressive sounding exhaust, on low profile feet and a hold me down bar, all the things a girl needs for the drive through the Mackenzie basin and the long straight roads that run from Queenstown to Christchurch. Plenty of power when needed and a pleasure to drive, all for $1.00, thank you Transfercar. I drove through snow flurries for a good part of the way arriving in rush hour traffic Christchurch central and bitter freezing cold weather. Fab dinner out at Leinster Road Bistro with my oldest friend ever and it was just like it always is when we get together. Yesterday was a super early start to collect my wedding finery, socialising clothes suitcase from my sister's house and then straight into central city to sort the auction houses with all the boxes of Mama's possessions that I had bought to ChCh. My poor broken ChCh.. I was born and raised in this city, I used to know it like the back of my hand, but the central city was a super challenge as I had none of the land marks that were ChCh city to work out where I was. I felt a little like a curb crawler looking for the places I needed to find, and no doubt annoyed some people with my driving. Jobs completed, a quick trip to the airport to collect a bestie incoming from Palmerston Nth and then time to sit down for a long lunch Couple of rats and mice completed then a bit of a drive around memory lane as we giggled our way through the memories of what we did where.. could make a girl blush really. Out for drinks at the Carlton pub, gosh if that place could talk... a popular haunt from our youth, and I say no more. Met many of the guests who will be attending the wedding and caught up with many old faces. Out for dinner with a group of friends, back to the Leinster Road... highly recommended. Today is a day of preparation for 14.00 glam. Photos to come. I like being here... I really like being back here.
