On another run (9.5km), we ran away from the sun down this strip of road next to the motorway:
After which we had dinner and went to a Fringe Festival show which was fantastic! We sat middle front and center and were forced to become part of the show, at one stage I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. The actor was amazing and the show was entertaining the whole way through!

A much needed break was had over the weekend, first up I ate myself sick on the sweet grapes at a friends parents house up north, then worked my way through four country pubs and their characters on the way to a campsite where we slept with kiwi running around outside the tent
The Portuguese girl and the Kiwi girl went for dinner last night (after their run up the mountain).
We have decided to use Vera’s legs as lighting when there are powercuts, or as flys when we go fly fishing (all those times we go fly fishing).

Went to the second-hand store today, I love searching through and finding books. None of them had prices so I grabbed all the ones I wanted and took them up to the counter…
… $5… for the lot! There are all my favourite authors in there… Margaret Atwood, Toni Morrison, Bryce Courtney, Kapka Kassabova, a couple of hardcovers and some randoms! I am well excited about embarking on these books!
(Except I am moving house this weekend, and am supposed to be getting rid of stuff… oh well!)

Vera already wrote about our lovely Sunday afternoon, and here are the pictures. It was such a great day that if it was a date she would have been able to have her wicked way with me later on!
My tootsies on the top of the mountain, while eating takeaway and drinking beer:

Group shot!
Now we are going running up the mountain in about an hour. No curry or beer waiting for us today. Grumpyface.

Friday was had three end of year functions for work… dry ice from one migrated to another and into our cups… probably not good for you, but one was not thinking well by this point…

No matter what time I get on the bus, these the same ajumma and ajoshe (grandma and grandpa) always get on my bus, and off a couple of stops later. I reckon they just ride the bus around all day, because I usually see them on the way home too. They are so cute, and are like a matching pair of dolls. They always sit in the same seats, the two up the front, the man on the right, the woman on the left. BUT today, there was another lady sitting in the left hand side seat, she got a dirty look then they both sat on the right.

It was SPCA collection day the other day and the bright sparks had the idea of taking to the streets with cute puppies and dogs from the SPCA to drum up money. It worked. I donated, and got to have a pat with this dude.

Caught up with two friends I only get to see about twice a year because of our combined crazy lives on Monday night for dinner at this great Thai place I love. Three hours later, gobbling food, wine and words like chickens, we were finished, only because the restaurant closed.

Check out my bunch I picked on my walk on Saturday morning.

Man I am breaking out into the musical today. Must be boredom. Anywho, had dinner in the sun with my friend Kelly at one of my favourite restaurants overlooking the Viaduct on Wednesday night. No complaints here.

Sunday was Marathon Day not only for Megan (how’d you go???), but the Auckland Marathon was also on. I went to go and cheer my friend Kit at the finish line, it was her first ever marathon and I was very proud. We enjoyed a well-deserved (for her at least) beer, after.

On Saturday, me and five friends took sea kayaks over to Rangitoto (a volcano which last exploded 500 years ago), and then climbed to the top. It was great fun but exhausting!!
That’s Rangi from the Auckland side
And this is my friend Paul coming out of a cave we explored on the island:
