The Watsons

Well another interesting week gone by during which I managed to bugger up my postmans motorbike, and hopefully, I will get a replacement soon as I have to ride the old spare scooter which must have came from the Ark.
Marie had a busy week but was pleased to be made supervisor at the motel she works at. She also had a good night at the Music Club, where she plays the drums and sings.

Yesterday we visited some old friends of ours the Watsons. Dave and Fionna used to live in Tairua but moved to Hamilton a couple of years ago.
They recently moved from the city to the countryside to a nice 4 bedroomed house.

Also there was their daughter Yvette ( or "Sh_gg_r" as I call her) and her children Nathan and Carly.

We had our usual catching up on gossip time and as usual a lot of laughs. Fionna, who works at the local hospital, had to work so left the cooking to Marie and Yvette.

Unfortunately 2 women in the kitchen usualy spells disaster and Yvette managed to turn the garlic bread into something like a "burnt brick". As those who know me realise with my teeth it was a no-no. Still the salad was nice.

Nathan, who is used to his mums cooking decided it was better to raid the fridge, leaving poor old Dave to eat the scraps!!

Even Fionna decided it was better to suck her finger!!

Serious now, apart from the garlic bread the food was excellent and we both thoroughly enjoyed our time with the family. As I said before , Dave and Fionna are very good friends and we all hope to get together again sometime over the Summer holidays in Tairua.

Take care and have a good week.
