Chinwag Cafe

 22/2/23

What on earth is this all about. The mistress says, wait and see. Life is full of surprises. The mistress finds some courage and again steps out of her comfort zone.  Apparently, she saw an article in an Age Concern magazine about Chinwag Cafe. Initially, she left me in the car as was unsure of the environment.  But as usual, she should have trusted her instinct. 

So, when is this woman going to learn to trust herself.?

Eventually, she came back to the car to collect me and to meet everyone. Most were delighted to hear our story and all the things we have been up to. The mistress handed out cards so people could look up the blog.

 She was in a deep conversation with a lovely lady who also writes. I reckon they could have talked for hours and hours.

This lady had a huge dog with her. 50 plus kilos. Another couple had 4 little dogs who were on their best behavior. 

I hear they are going to catch up later in the week over a cupper. 

After the chinwag, we headed off to Morrinsville for lunch and a look around. You should have seen all the cows. The farms are full of them. All colors, shapes, and sizes.  The strange thing about these creatures is they like following each other. Cats, humans, and now cows. They are all weirdos if you ask me.

The mistress says now I have something else to look up in my books. So that will certainly keep me quiet for a while.

This time I wasn't left in the car. I could feel more posing for photos in the air. Sure, enough the mistress plonks me on a cow's back, then another, and another. This place not only has real cows, but it also has dummies. 

So next we went around the corner and ...................

A cow outside the police station. Then she plonks me down to pose again. 
There is never a dull moment on this journey. 

Now just between you and me that mistress spent some more $$$, and not on Gnomes, but I could be in trouble if I told you what she bought. That daughter may growl.....again! I don't want to be left on the side of the road, because I could float away in all this water that's still around in places. 

So, on the way back, we see red and blue lights. But she says we are ok as it's on the other side of the road. Phew! I reckon she had a sweat up.  But don't tell her this.
