Cold and blustery morning , but I get a load of washing done while Duncan goes for a run then we have breakfast. Duncan goes to pick up Robin and Chris and because of a multisport event being held in Arrowtown we walk to the village. Rob and I look at the shops while the guys go for a coffee. We have a great lunch at the Stables and then we dropped them at the airport for their flight to Brisbane.
After a small nap we head off for Wanaka. Di was feeling a bit groggy with her diabetes, but soon came right and we watched her get the dinner ready. Brian (optometrist ) had had to work in Dunedin before he drove up. A plate of nibbles , a few bottles of wine , roast veges and lamb back strap, an apricot tartin and a constant flow of conversation ensued until we hit the sack at about 11.
Duncan and I went for a little tiki tour around Wanaka while Brian and Di packed up the house. They intend to live there when they retire next year. Wanaka is certainly a very modern town.
It is a short drive to Cromwell golf course. I did 9 holes while the others did 18. It was very hot and we were glad of the gusty wind. Had 16 stable ford points.
I sat in the shade and watch some of the young hopefuls practice for the qualifying rounds of the NZ Golf Open. By the time the others finished it was 31 degrees. We freshened up and headed off to Wooing Tree for a couple of platters and a bottle of rosé.
We head back to Arrowtown. .. I am desperate for a nap! It's great to catch up with friends and such a pleasure to relax with them.
