Have had a nice time in Auckland so far, have visited all the people we wished to visit with. I've decided that rather than splitting up the driving over two days, I shall do a big one day mission drive back on Thursday. Otherwise the better part of 2 days will be used in driving back to Wgtn.
We left Wgtn on Sunday and stayed with some of Beau's family ( a B and SIL) in P'North. We didn't aim to drive further than that on Sunday because we couldn't leave Wgtn until after a mega G&S practice that took from 11.30 to 5.30! Yikes and Yuck.
We had dinner at their place and had *really* Yummy Roast Pork and Roast Veges. Mmmm-mm. We mosied on outta their place on Monday just after 10am and arrived in Auckland at about 5.30ish, so we made pretty good time.
We met more of Beau's family for dinner (a S and defacto-BIL) at a Japanese Restaurant. It was very nice, but took longer than expected so while we'd planned to see PotC2 we missed it by a good 20min. We did have yummy ice-creams at the movie theatre though.
Today has mostly been spent hanging with Jexia. We are staying with her and Otiarstill and their bub X. O had to work and Beau volunteered to stay at home hanging with the Bub, so Jexia and I both went and visited Pinque and had yummy Chai and biscuits and looked at much costumes. I didn't realise how long we spent there! Time really flew. Soo many lovely costumes, probably.
We then went to Spotlight and they are having an awesome sale! They have silk Dupion on special, some at half price! $12! I might need to buy several metres of that, even though I currently have no use for it... oh well. I did buy some pale pink cotton ripstop though for $2 a metre 'cause I've heard it makes pretty good interlining.
We then headed to Arthur's Emporium after grabbing a very late lunch of Sushi. Arthur's is sooo cool! I can't believe the huge amount of trimmings and buttons they have there. They also have some cheapy wigs and socks etc. May need to go back there tomorrow as we arrived just before they were closing and I didn't actually get time to consider buying anything.
No plans for tomorrow except for maybe getting brunch at a Cafe run by Beau's cousins... maybe we could catch a day-time viewing of PotC...hmmm.
Point of Fashion: Shorts and long socks
Current Obsession: What to make with fabric and trimmings I could theoretically purchase??
