Yeah, on a sunny day, the mistress announces pulling the curtains. She was a bit sluggish today and nothing happened fast around here. Hey, it's a holiday today and what's the rush? 

She was most impressed by a couple of phone calls from friends this morning. I know she has missed all her friends, and they have missed her too. Now the mistress did get a surprise when she broke a dinner plate and a friend suggested this meant good luck. 

One of these friends has a little baby and the mistress has been invited to a christening. She is so excited about this as we will be home by then. 

I got some peace again this morning because Ollie took the mistress for another walk. Poor Ollie was pooped on arriving back and got into his water bowl. You should have heard him drink. Gee where are his manners? The mistress filled it at breakfast time and had to fill it again. I guess because it's a hot day and he is carrying so much fur. I think he is like a big woolly sheep, and the farmers shear them. Better watch out Ollie.

Today, we are going on a picnic as she is packing a cold homemade pizza in the chilly bin. 

We zoom off to Te Meta Peak. The only problem so did everyone else! We got a park because as usual, she visualized a car park with a great view. Pictures in a previous blog from last week. 

The mistress likes doing the find word puzzle books. Keeps her brain going she says. We went down to the village for a good old cupper, to be met with a paper cup and very glum faces from all the staff. Her request was for a pot of tea and wonders what has gone wrong with this place, and if they are going down the gurgler then it is no wonder. We won't be back she says.

Now the hot x buns said made Monday and when the mistress picked them up to ask the price, they felt at least 4 days old, so left them in the shop. There were heaps left and it was obvious why. 

We head across the road for ice cream, and for 2 scoops she got 2 half scoops. $5, I don't think we will be going there again either.

She spotted a lovely water feature. Oh no, what could go wrong here? Oh heck, I could fall in here. You need a wash she says. NOPE

 

She has a fascination with water.

You stink she says and hoped I would fall in and get the dirt off. Nope, I am hanging on tight here. This fountain is in Havelock town center. The mistress likes these things. I guess you have noticed she has several pictures on her camera. That is a lot of times she has tried to get me to have a wash.

This is the number of 115 blogs we have completed. So that must be at least 100 times she has tried to get me washing. Jeepers.

We go to the supermarket on our way home and forgot her bags yet again, or is that because they are all full😂😂😂😂

She almost lost the house key today. She turned the car upside down and eventually found it. 

The mistress took off at dinner time and came back with fish and chips and a glass of bubbly. Ollie liked a couple of chips but no more as he had his dinner. 

Yummy Ollie says!!
