I wandered around for a while looking at shoes to go with my dresses for the balls coming up but could not find anything that wasn't either too expensive or not in my size. Realistically, I think I can probably make do with the shoes that I have but it never hurts to look.
About 3pm Ross called and said that plasterer was coming to fix some cracks in our wall. I picked up two New Zealand Natural smoothies on the way back and met him at home. They finished the plastering and Ross went back to work for a couple of hours before coming home to start the long weekend. I relaxed and watched some TV in the bedroom with the afternoon sun streaming in through the windows. Black also was enjoying the afternoon sun on his back in his basket by the window.
We had invited Brian and Sonja and one of Ross' colleagues from work, also named Brian, over for a few drinks and some takeaway. Brian Miller arrived about 6.30pm and we toasted the long weekend with a gin and tonic. The other Brian arrived about 7 and we chatted for a while before Sonja arrived after dropping her kids off at friends places.
We had a great night chatting, drinking and enjoying brilliant pizza from California Pizza Kitchen - they were seriously good. We kicked everyone out about midnight and as you can see from the photo, we had been through quite a few drinks (and glasses) by this stage! It was a good night and definitely put us in the mood for the long weekend.
