    My lovely brother washed my camper this morning. So lovely to drive a clean vehicle. He is very good to his sister.
    It was then a quick change and off to the Havard Bar to meet the old friends from the Air Force. We have been before and may have had the odd cocktail there and it brought back fond memories.
    Lots of lovely conversations. The food was good too.
    Marg had a raffle and low and behold I drew out my own number! Very nice set of bowls.
    We then walked over to towards the Wigram Museum. The state of the plaque to Airwomen is not in the best of order and Marg is a champion trying to get it into a better condition or replaced. She is great for doing that.
    We then went inside and saw the new WAAF display. Women's Auxillary Air Force. Small but at least it is something to recognise the ladies that served during the war. There were two cupboards cut outs of former Airwomen - we need one of Dale Kuiti now. Dale is the longest serving Airwomen. 49 years! She retired a couple of years ago.
    Today there was also a vintage (retro) day - sale, being held as well. Six women couldn't resist.
    I managed to get some succulents for my sister and a belt for Jack. Very pleased with my bargains.
    Back to Gayle'e for a cuppa. Collect my lovely laundry from my sisters. Not ironed...! Didn't need it. Back to Ohoka.
    Arrived once again for a for more delicious food. I am very lucky.
    Not sure if everyone knows you can get my blog in ascending and descending order at the press of a button - no need to scroll through to find the latest one.
    Thank you all for reading and your kind comments.
