• Fleurs to Fat Sallys - part 2

    February 14, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    After such a delicious breakfast the weather still wasn’t good enough for outdoor jobs so we tried to crack on with a bit of trip planning for a couple of hours.
    At 3.30pm it was time to head to Oamaru to exchange some gas bottles, go to the post shop, get some printer paper and drop some unwanted gear to the St Johns shop.
    All of this was successfully completed before meeting up with Sue and Gary in Fat Sally’s for a beer ( yep diet is going v well... not!!).
    Sue and Gary were down from Nelson for their nephew’s wedding trmw.
    We had a lovely catch up with a few beers, with a toast to Bill ( sadly died 2yrs ago today- still sorely missed but not forgotten).
    Sue and Gary loved the green truck so much we dropped them home in the back of it- amongst the gas bottles but luckily we had removed the huge pallet we had in situ earlier.
    Sadly our catch up was over far too quickly but getting home at 8.30pm was late enough. We popped in for a cuppa with Mary before heading up the hill home.
    Tmrw it’s a 6am start for our weekly park run and the day in Dunedin.
