Labour weekend

Had a lovely long weekend to celebrate the fight for the 8 hour day - funny that as I work 9.5 hours a day!

Anyhowd'hooo, the weather was blue blue blue so we got lots done - lots of washing especially.

Saturday we cleaned up the old place - steam cleaned the carpet!! so much fun!!

Then Sunday and Monday we did lots of gardening and pottering and thingamejigging. Particular fun was assembling the two kids chairs sent to us by Marjorie.

On Sunday afternoon the phone rang and it was Heloise calling from New Lynn (she lives in Hastings which is about 7 hours drive from here). She was in town for the day to see a sick friend and she said she had something for us. She turned up five minutes later with two flat packed beautifully designed bent wood chairs with blue covers, one for each kid.

Bax and I spent lots of care and time assembling them. Bax loved putting in the screws and turning the Allen keys. Perfect thing for a two year old to do on a lazy weekend.

G made a pantry.

Father/son building thing going on there.
