Yesterday we took the girls over to Rain Bar in Papamoa and met up with a few other ex pats for brunch. Service wasn't massively swift, and a "rare" steak sandwich wasn't at all pink but it tasted OK. The kids didn't like their burgers though, so human dustbin that I am, I left feeling rather full.
An early start this morning, as I needed to deposit Rhiannon at school at 6AM for her camp in Wellington. We got to the school but there was no one there! A couple of panic phone calls home asking Di to double check the location, but then I drove round the back of the school and found a mass of small people with suitcases. Panic over. I left her to it and went back home. Imogen had a dental appointment at 9AM, so I whisked here along for her replacement filling. The X-Ray may have taken a week to process but is showed decay under the filling which needed to be replaced. She coped with it really well, which as it was a very deep filling was admirable.
Tidying up the kitchen, I came across the collection of macadamia nuts which we acquired from next door's tree. I tried the nut cracker on them, but it started to bend. Hmm. More power needed methinks. A No. 3 Record vice did the trick quite nicely. Nothing like crushing your neighbour's nuts in a vice to start a conversation running.
