No open home this weekend!




Southern greetings from sunny Dunedin this Labour Weekend. We are totally chilling out at the Adrian Motel. Taking it easy. We had a perfect run down the island yesterday with an enjoyable one hour cuppa in Timaru with Marie-Anne and friends. Nice. Quick bite in Oamaru and then off to Dunedin where we unloaded the car at the Adrian and then headed off to see Jasmine and Dave. We were greeted by a lovely sunny and sheltered backyard and smiling happiness. Nic and Dave discovered a mutual love of computer games and the 23 year old and 6 year old bonded big time over the Dave's baby, 'Arena for men'. No not a porn site for saddos but a labour of love none the less. Dave has spent months writing this game and it is stylish and stunning. Nic was a great audience as he asked very useful questions and totally got the whole thing. I was amazed...computer geekery in the flesh.

We spent the rest of the evening at a yummy Japanese restaurant before edging our way through the middle aged crowd of Otagoan Topp Twin fans before landing a plate of desserts that would rival any every eaten. Pannacotta and creme brulee to die for. Lemongrass, ginger, vanilla and white chocolate amongst the deliciousness. Had to get that boy Nic off to bed as he was getting a little hysterical. Fantastic to see Jasmine again after 18 months gap.
