Coming up for air !
It's a busy time of year ! Not helped here by some very hot days, but most of the mail has been dealt with and most of the parcels wrapped..What a treat to see those beautiful photographs on the page. The one of the mountains is spectacular, and the one of "Annie no" showing her on her on her best behaviour, made me smile ! We have got our friends Beagle, staying here this week, the two dogs are having a very busy time chasing imaginary rabbits and hares around the property. No need to take them for a "walk." They are exhausted at the end of the day.
We went to a performance of Handles Messiah on Saturday night. It's almost the traditional start to the Christmas season here.. It's usually held in the auditorium at the Town Hall in Christchurch. With that facility "munted" in the earthquake, this year it was held in a school hall..It was a very hot night, no air conditioning there and the seating consisted of school benches.. ! Must have been even more uncomfortable for the choir and orchestra, all dressed up for the occasion , but they put on a great performance and were rewarded with a long, standing ovation, at the conclusion.
Bee, say "hi" to Fran for me ! She was one of the first BB members to contact me too. That's going back a bit ..! I hope their trip goes well. We'll be up in Auckland for Christmas but I think they will have left NZ by then.
Busy with "end of year" things this week. Most groups take the month of January off so Dec is full of morning teas, lunches and evening BBQ's. All need baking for or buying for so that's my focus today. Looks as if it's going to be hot again but, hopefully, not around the 30 deg that we had over the w/end.
Have a good week.
Marion.
