First photo post to start to bring me up to date ...

My cousin Gordon and Sharon's dogs in their usual place and doing what they do best all day ...
Gordon's Harley. It lives in his office indoors. His other bikes live (more properly) in the garage ...

Dinner with Tim just outside Reading before we left the UK. It was great to catch up with him, even though only for a couple of hours.
Pre-take off champagne in Singapore Air's business class. Where was David? back in Economy - his choice, please note!

Dinner on board with chardonnay, of course ...

Clearly I have had a haircut!
Back in Paraparaumu, in Jan's Cafe down at the beach. We came out without money or cards and had breakfast on tick - as regular customers they knew we would be back!

The best eggs benny anywhere are to be had an Jan's Cafe! And we rank them wherever we try them.
Breakfast at Jan's was undertaken after we had been to have a look at the Kia Sportage. Several days later we picked it up. You can see it is taller than me, and it's red!!!

And it looks very smart in the driveway at home.

We had dinner for 14 at Cafe Rata when Bruce and Gary arrived back and I made this fabulous double layer chocolate cake - really simple and extremely yummy. I meant to take a photo before I cut it in half but forgot in the heat of the moment ...

Very yummy strawberries to accompany it, plus a lovely lemon cake made by Diane.

A lone sparrow came at first to eat the sliced pineapple, but then ...

... the flocks arrived. There is also a lamb bone there that got pecked very clean in short order!

Scones (cheese ones and lemonade ones) had to be made for the tradies ...

This is part of the team installing the ultra-fast broadband around the country. They were working in our street, so needed to be fed to show our appreciation.
