Pics for Mum

Wow, two weeks away and my poor neglected blog is still here. Spent an absolutely gorgeous week at the lake during the first week of the holidays, perfectly glass calm water and cloudless blue skies just perfect for the boys to get a whole bunch of training in and me to relax on the shores of the lake with a book or chatting to the girls. Very pleasant.

The second week saw me taking off for Auckland after having completely enough of everything boy! I headed down and spent the night with Mum and then ferried her and her friend out to the airport for their 10day day holiday in Australia. We started her holiday extra early by heading for a pedicure at one of the local malls. Mum's first experience of one of these and one she very much enjoyed.

The boys came down to Auckland the next day and we ended up spending the night on the wharf in the City. A great way to wrap up the holidays with a bit of luxury. Tommy picked up a tummy bug so he and I stayed home on Saturday while Andy, Ali and Nick headed back to the lake to help out with Splash Day. I really think Tommy's bug was more of an excuse so he couldn't go in the water! Little toad.

Sunday was Bathurst and the race of the season. We were really looking forward to this as we missed it last year with being away. We sat riveted to the TV the whole day only leaving during ad breaks to replenish the empty glasses. A great race which was very well fought out. Unfortunately the win didn't go Holden's way, but we were very pleased for Craig Lowndes to win anyway.

Now to the point of this post. Mum has pics of all the other grandkids but none of my boys, 'cos I don't like the individual pics they take at school. Anyway she has been hassling me for pics to put on her wall so I have been going through my stash and finding some suitable ones. Now to get them printed, framed and delivered before she gets back from holiday on Sunday night.
